The Hunger Games and The Lottery are kind of similar. In The Hunger Games Katniss was chosen at the Reaping to be a tribute in the hunger games, which is a fight to death. The Lottery is about Tessie Hutchinson being chosen as the sacrifice for the crops. These stories are both about a lucky draw but the prize is death. Also the main characters all think that this is unfair and it should be stopped.
Although these stories are really similar there are still some differences. In the Hunger Games the tributes actually have a tiny chance of surviving. However, in the Lottery you have absolutely no chance of surviving. Also in the Hunger Games the tributes have to fight each other. In the Lottery you just get stoned to death without a chance
