Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" revolves around a village's tradition of making human sacrifices annually for a good harvest. The story deals with themes of society in conflict with individuals, tradition, civilization, violence, and the importance of questioning tradition.
In the given excerpt, when Mr. Adams revealed that some villages had decided to stop doing the annual lottery, Old Man Warner rebuked the thought heavily. According to him, the lottery has been a part of their lives and must continue to be so. He vehemently and straightforwardly stated, <em>"There's always been a lottery."</em>
This shows that Old Man Warner represents the importance of tradition, advancing the plot and theme in the story.
