Tessie chose the ticket with the black dot......... that made her the winner. In essence, it was a cruel twist of fate. Tessie questioned the lottery from the start, thus, as a character, she is singled out from the start. In the beginning of the story, the author notes that whoever questions the Lottery is a fool, and crazy..... that many strange things are associated with it.
