The morning of June 27th was a warm summer day, the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square. There are around 300 villagers and they do a lottery every year. But whoever gets the Lottery is Stoned. Mrs. Huchinson pulled out the Lottery and believed she was cheated and her husband, daughter, and young son have to watch and participate in horror as they throw stones at their mother. Old Man Warrner runs the Lottery.
