The lottery is a story about about a lottery of who gets stoned and in the Hunger Games is a story about a competition between each district and the boy and girl chosen in each district will take place in the games which is the games of death. the two stories have the same idea of someone dying. someone being killed by others and others getting killed in their own time. what is the different about the lottery is that it is a cruel law in their town that someone must die every year. This is done because of population since more people are being born than people dying. apparently a woman named Tessie from their town in this year mentioned gets the lottery meaning the stone of death.  there is also no change in law at the end of the story whereas in the Hunger Games  almost everybody gets killed except one person but in the end there was a change that there could now be two winners from the same district. More violence occurs in the Hunger Games than in the Lottery as more people get killed.
