- Katniss expects a feast, which is a tactic the Gamemakers have used in the past to lure the tributes into the same area for a fight. But instead they announce a rule change. Under the new rule, tributes from the same district will both be declared winners if they are the last two left alive.

Allowing two Victors from the same District was an interesting premise for a final duel between two lovers (Katniss & Peeta) or two friends (Cato & Clove) once the rule changed again. I think that’s all.

"And this moment here... this is a moment that you never forget. The moment when the tribute becomes a victor."
—Caesar Flickerman
1st to 10th Hunger Games
In the past, during the 1st to 10th Hunger Games, victors were not given any specific importance or care by the Capitol, with the first few victors being generally thrown back to their home districts after winning and surviving their individual Games and were left to resume their old lives. It was only during and after the 11th Hunger Games that victors were put into the Capitol's spotlight, forcing them to take a bigger role in future Games. These new changes also gave victors compensation and rewards for their victories in an attempt to entice a better crop of tributes to volunteer for future Games.
Public image
Victors are often forced to put on false personas for the Capitol audience, such as Finnick Odair's flirtatiousness, or Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark's inseparable love. They also adopt hobbies or talents they can be interviewed about by the Capitol media. Peeta's talent was painting, but Katniss's skill at hunting was illegal and she was unwilling to sing, so she tried several alternatives from a list provided by Effie Trinket: cooking, flower arranging, and playing the flute. Katniss eventually settled on faking a passion for fashion design. Her stylist, Cinna, made things himself for her to pass off as her work.
Trauma
Most, if not all, of the victors suffer from some form of post-traumatic stress as a result of their experiences in the Games. For example, both Katniss and Peeta endure nightmares, and Annie Cresta is notably mentally unstable even for a victor.
There have been 75 victors throughout the history of the Hunger Games: one for each year from the 1st through 73rd, and then an unprecedented double victory in the 74th Hunger Games. No victor was crowned for the 75th Hunger Games. All victors were between the ages of 14 and 18 at the time of their victory.
At the time of the reaping, 59 victors were still alive, and Lucy Gray Baird's fate is unknown, so fifteen died prior to the third Quarter Quell. The Career districts— District 1, District 2, and District 4— had the most victors, but each district had at least one surviving male and female. Eighteen more died in the 75th Hunger Games, and by the end of the Second Rebellion, only seven victors were still alive: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, Beetee Latier, Haymitch Abernathy, Annie Cresta, and Enobaria. This means that another 34 died during the Victors' Purge and the rebellion.
Books
•Katniss recalled a male victor from "a few years ago" who only received a training score of three. •At some point in the history of the Games, District 7 had at least one female victor other than Johanna, as she was specified as being the only "living" female victor from her district. •Since Effie only sent Katniss and Peeta tapes of victors they might have had to face in the third Quarter Quell, Katniss speculated that the victor of the 25th Hunger Games was deceased by then. •Prior to the 10th Hunger Games, Districts 1 and 2 already produced more victors than other districts. 4 and 11 were also considered contenders, so they may have turned out victors as well, or at least had tributes place highly. •The following victors who competed in the third Quarter Quell had no age indicators given by Katniss. They could have won any Hunger Games between the 12th and the 61st, due to her describing her competitors as wasted away from age, substance abuse, and illness; District 5 Female, District 5 Male, Female Morphling, Male Morphling, Blight, District 9 Female, District 9 Male, District 10 Female, and District 10 Male. •Effie Trinket's comments during the Reaping recaps for the seventy-fifth Hunger Games implies that Cecelia wasn't the only eligible female victor from District 8 and Chaff wasn't the only eligible male victor from District 11. •Katniss comments that Districts 1, 2, and 4 had the largest pool of victors, but every district had managed to scrape up at least one living female and one living male victor in seventy-five years.
Films
•The propaganda video shown at the District 12 reaping in the first film appears to show four victors, two female and two male. In order of appearance, they were shown with a sword, a shield, a harpoon, and no weapon. •In an early draft of the first film script, Caesar Flickerman mentioned to Cato during his interview that District 2 had produced the previous two victors (of the 72nd and 73rd Hunger Games, respectively).
•The youngest known victor was Finnick Odair, who won his Games at just 14 years old.
•Of the thirty known victors, there have been 16 female (53.3%) and 14 male victors (46.7%).
•District 1 is the only district in the trilogy known to have tributes win for two consecutive years: Gloss and Cashmere. They are also the only known sibling victors.
•However, if we include the early draft of the film script, District 2 had two consecutive victors leading up to the 74th Hunger Games.
•Prior to the 74th Hunger Games, District 12 only had one surviving victor, the least in all of Panem. But by the end of the war, they had the most surviving victors at three (Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch). The other four remaining victors (Enobaria, Beetee, Annie, and Johanna) were left as the only ones still living from each of their districts (2, 3, 4, and 7, respectively). All victors from 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 were wiped out.
•Since the victors of the 70th and 71st Hunger Games were both female, the recent male victor with the low training score most likely won the 69th, 72nd, or 73rd Hunger Games.
