Read the excerpt from

The Lottery.

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across the

crowd, "Here comes your Missus, Hutchinson," and "Bill, she made it after all." Mrs. Hutchinson reached her husband, and Mr. Summers,

who had been waiting, said cheerfully, "Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie." Mrs. Hutchinson said grinning,

"Wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you, Joe?" and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back

into position after Mrs. Hutchinson's arrival.

    The ironic part is where it says "thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie"

    Explanation:

    This only becomes ironic after the reader has finished with the story and can understand what has happened because at the end Tessie "wins" the lottery.
