Explanation: I think Jackson is using some plot manipulation here. The lottery has preconceived ideas to most readers. It seems like the village is gathering for something fun. Although there are bits of foreshadowing, the reader can assume the lottery is a good thing. The surprise or twist at the end brings climactic suspense to what seemed like a "nice" town ritual.
usually in movies, shows, or books charicter wait to say something like they got into collage or something to create suspense :) hope this helped (brainliest please)
