All villagers participate and the oldest man in the village has personally been a part of 77 separate lotteries. While there is not a particularly festive sense about the event, it is still clear in the story that it is most certainly an event that nobody ever misses. The reader finds that they are waiting for something to happen and experiences the sense that whatever that something is, it is not likely to be pleasant. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
