Margot is different from all the other people because she is from Earth, and came to Venus 5 years before. Margot’s “biggest crime”, is that she was born on Earth and came to Venus “ only 5 years ago” (Bradbury). Being from Earth sets her apart from everybody else since she has been able to experience the sun.

The people no longer know why they do the lottery anymore. The only reason that the people know is that “there has always been a lottery” (Bradbury). Only old man Warner remembers why they have the lottery, and it is because of the crops, but the other people just follow along unknowingly.
