Plot
Summary

.

.......Residents
of a New England village gather at 10 a.m. on June 27 in the square between
the post office and the bank for the annual lottery. A bright sun is shining
down on fragrant flowers and green lawns while the townspeople–more than
300 of them–await the arrival of Mr. Summers and the black wooden box from
which everyone is to draw a folded slip of paper. Adults chat while children
play a game in which they gather stones. Whoever draws the slip of paper
with the black dot on it will receive all of the lottery proceeds.

.......Over
the years, the lottery rules and trappings remained the same except for
minor changes: Wood chips were replaced by the slips of paper, and ritual
chants and salutes preceding the drawing were eliminated. Other than those
modernizations, the same old rules prevailed year after year.

.......No
one in the square knows why or under what circumstances the lottery began.
All they know is that it is a tradition–a tradition that they are not willing
to abandon.

.......After
Mr. Summers shows up with the black box, he sets it down and prepares for
the drawing. A housewife, Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson, arrives late just then,
telling Mrs. Delacroix that she “Clean forgot what day it was” until she
noticed that her children had left her house and remembered it was the
day of the lottery.

.......Each
of the townspeople draws a folded slip of paper but does not open it until
everyone has drawn. When the big moment arrives, it is Tessie Hutchinson
who has the paper with the black dot. Everyone then closes in on her, picks
up rocks–the “proceeds” of the lottery–and stones her to death.
