Pura e semplice descrizione della lotteria che si svolge nell'atmosfera pastorale, quasi idilliaca, di un villaggio del New England in un luminoso mattino di giugno - come ogni anno da tempo immemore. Eppure, giunto al termine di questo racconto, l'ascoltatore scoprirà da sé, cosa renda questo racconto un vero e proprio classico della letteratura del terrore.

La diciottenne Mary Katherine ci racconta della grande casa dove vive reclusa con la bella sorella Constance e lo zio invalido. Tutti gli altri membri della famiglia Blackwood sono morti avvelenati sei anni prima, seduti a tavola, proprio lì in sala da pranzo.
