A/N: I'm kind of unsure of what we're supposed to be doing for this, so I'll just write my theory and my reasoning behind it.
I believe the citizens in the story The Lottery preform this ritual in order to keep their crops well and healthy. The idea of sacrificing something or someone to a greater being in order to get something you want isn't new at all. Many shows have done this but the one show I immediately linked to the short story The Lottery is a show by the name Supernatural. In one of the episodes, a small town holds an annual event in which they sacrifice one random person to a demon in order to keep their crops well. I think that the town in The Lottery is in a similar or exact situation with Mr.Summers being the demon. (Reasons why this is believed were already discussed in class.)
