Lottery is a very famous short story, written in Hindi, by Munshi Premchand. It was published in the year 1933. The story takes humorous narrative as it focuses how swiftly a human nature can change with avaricious aspirations.
With an aim to build the largest library in the city, young boy Vikram, plans to buy a ticket to try his luck. Failing short of money to buy the ticket, he joins hands with his childhood friend who happens to be a school teacher.
Vikram sells off his old books to buy the ticket while half of the ticket money was given by his teacher friend, but Vikram buys the ticket in his name. Meanwhile, Vikram’s father buys a lottery for his son and wife.
Finding that Vikram’s father would not share the prize money with other family members, Vikram’s uncle also buys a lottery ticket.
