"'Nothing but trouble in that,... Pack of young fools." pg 268
This is the worst lottery I have ever heard of.Who would every want to win death upon one of their family members? Why would any sane reader see that coming? They wouldn't. The townspeople were so casual about the lottery. They were even outraged by the thought of getting rid of the lottery. It's not like killing a random person will actually make the harvest any better. How dare other communities take a turn for the humane! These people are so stuck inside their superstition that they can't see how awful the Lottery is! I realize that these kinds of games used to be the norm in socciety, and I thank God that times have changed. In fact, times have changed so much that I cannot fathom the merciless killing, but my ancestors very well could have participated in something like this.
