Lottery, is told in the first person, from the perspective of a school teacher, his friend Vikram, and Vikram's extended family. The teacher and Vikram discuss the lottery and speculate over their actions if either were to win a prize worth ten lakhs of Indian rupees. Vikram states that if he were to win the lottery, he would take a trip around the world, in order to study the traditions and religions of different countries, and establish a public library, offering the world's finest books. The teacher states that he would save the money, in return for the interest. As the story unfolds, Vikram realizes that he lacks the funds to purchase a ticket, and approaches the teacher with the suggestion that they pool their funds and buy a ticket together. The teacher and Vikram each raise five rupees to buy the ticket, agreeing to divide the winnings, much to the dismay of Vikram's family who is suspicious of the teacher's motive.
Vikram purchases the ticket in his name, the teacher and his friend purchase theirs, and Vikram's father, Bade Thakur Sahib, uncle Chhote Thakur Sahib (real brother of Vikram's father,) and elder brother (Prakash) also each buy tickets. They begin to fight over what they would do if any of them were to win. As the lottery drawing approaches, the teacher realizes that he had not signed an agreement with Vikram acknowledging that they had gone into a partnership to purchase a ticket with the intention of sharing any money won, and relies on Vikram's honesty. Family arguments escalate, involving heated threats. Vikram's brother Prakash arrives home with injuries to his head and hand. When his father asks him what has happened, he explains that he had gone to Jhakkar Baba, who has the power to grant wishes. Prakash shares with his family that before Jhakkar Baba grants wishes, he tests them by throwing rocks at them. While most visitors run away, those that withstand the attack will have their wishes granted. When Prakash survived the stoning, he was assured that he would be the sole winner of the lottery. However, much to everyone's despair, when the winner of the lottery is announced, it is a man from America who is found to have bought the winning ticket. The plot is a dramatic irony, with the story ending with plot twist and a moral message.
