Answer:

The person becomes the scapegoat and will be stoned to death.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" was a short story written by Shirley Johnson in which she pictures a certain fictional town in contemporary America where there is an annual ritual through which bad people are removed from the town through lottery. The person selected through lottery is stoned to death.

It is an annual ritual which they believe guarantees good harvest. It was a tradition they followed blindly and nobody ever questions the rational or the person becomes "The Lottery".
