The villagers in some unnamed town, in some unnamed time, all gather in the village square. They are apparently going to participate in a lottery drawing, and the procedure is described in detail. But what the drawing is for is never mentioned, only that it has been held regularly for many years. It is not until the completion of the drawing that we discover what the lottery is for. When the head of one family is revealed to have the single marked ticket, a second drawing is held for the five members of his family. In this drawing, the ticket "with the black dot" is drawn by a woman named Tessie, who is likely his wife, and the villagers begin to stone her to death.
The lottery is apparently a means to reduce the population, perhaps because the population would otherwise outgrow their space for living, or outgrow their food supply.
