The story was about the lottery and pople trying to win it in this smalll little town,but most towns got rid of the lottery.The would move the boxes everyday in different places just so no one wont will get a hold of of.There was a family name the Hudgison and they were trying to win the lottery.Everyone could sign up and try to win regardless of age.They were really country,but to keep things short they kept trying and trying and finally Mrs Hudgison won the lottery but the story turns when they found out you dont win money you win to lose your life and its crazy cause its like most people knew about it they took time out to come see her win when they pilled out the name everyone picked up the stones and through it at her till she dies.They only did this once a year so who knows the really reason as to why they did this,could it be because over population in the town,or they were serial killer type people and ebnjoy seeing things like this such sort,so regarless of the age anyone and everyone who win would get this kind of trestment
