When you think of the lottery don’t you think of winning money and being rich. Well if it was that case, then in the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson they would be happy not scared. Offortinily this lottery isn’t a good lottery.In this lottery 1 person from every house gets a folded paper and only one person gets a paper that had a black dot. And if you get that one then each and every person gets to throw a rock at you until you die. I know it sounds really cruel. But people thought it was fun, so they made it a tradition so every year you had to do this. Some people said that it was so the government can keep the population down and some people agreed with that but others hated it. An example from The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
