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.
