The box represents tradition. Even though it is deteriorating and Mr. Summers discusses making a new one, the villagers do not like to upset tradition. They know that inside are slips of paper that will decide their fates. It is also a symbol of power over life and death.

The stones are a source of fear as well as power and camaraderie. The switch from an orderly, structured, lottery drawing with paper to the stones also represents the village’s frightening change from civilized to utter brutality in the matter of moments.

The black dot represents impending death. For Tessie, the dot means she has been chosen to die in this twisted, festive event. The dot also brings to an end the “fairness” she found in all of the other lotteries she’s participated in before now.
