The end of 'The Lottery' story is quite tragic. After the lottery process, which initially seems like a normal village activity, Tessie is singled out as the 'winner'. But this is no ordinary win. The villagers then stone her to death. This ending is a powerful commentary on how people can blindly follow traditions without questioning their morality. It also reveals the underlying savagery that can exist within a community that appears normal on the surface.

Well, in the short story, the lottery has a very dark meaning. It's not a lottery in the sense of winning something good. Instead, it's a lottery where the 'winner' is actually the victim of a brutal stoning. It's about the power of tradition over reason and the mob mentality. The villagers don't question this lottery system because it's been passed down through generations. It reveals the flaws in human nature, like our inclination to follow the herd even when it means doing something immoral.
