June 27 was chosen as the day of the lottery in Shirley Jackson's story to symbolize the height of summer and the peak of abundance, highlighting the contrast between the seemingly innocent setting and the dark ritual that takes place. It also serves to create an eerie juxtaposition between the festive atmosphere of the community gathering and the shocking outcome of the lottery.
