On June 27th, a full and warm summer day, the people of the village(roughly 300) all gather in the town square around ten o’clock. The children were first to assemble and they piled rocks in the corner of the square. Men gather and the women come shortly after to join their husbands and children.

Mr. Summers, who was devoted to administering all civic activities including the lottery, arrives partially later than usual and carries the worn, splintered, and faded black box and the postmaster, Mr. Graves, following behind with a three legged stool that is planted at the central area of the square. People are a little less carefree and rather more hesitant now that Mr. Summer's presence filled the square. The box is filled with slips of papers that the previous night had been made.

Mrs. Hutchinson, wife of Bill Hutchinson, arrives just in time before the lottery is about to commence. She had remembered last minute that it was indeed the 27th and hastily made her way to the square. Summers began to kick-off the lottery and started calling out the names of the families in alphabetical order, summoning the head of each to pull a paper slip from the black box. The crowd was a bit nerve-racked and somber as they all waited for their surname to be called. The event begins to raise questions about what is soon to come and intensifies the threat.
