The plot as a whole in “The Lottery” is filled with ironic twists. The whole idea of a lottery is to win something, and the reader is led to believe that the winner will receive some prize, when in actuality they will be stoned to death by the rest of the villagers.

Answer:

The Lottery is ironic because in the lotteries we see today, people win good things like money, people want to be chosen in the lottery. In this story though, nobody wants to be chosen, because they don't win anything good, they get killed by the rest of the people.
