The plot of The Lottery is that the people are preparing to follow a longstanding traditional act, which is unknown to the reader until the end of the story. The townspeople are determined, almost compelled, to follow this tradition even though the reasons for the tradition are either no longer known, necessary or beneficial. I won't tell what the tradition is here. You will have to read the story itself. It is worth the read.
