The black box is a metaphor for death and tradition. The town gathers, year after year, to take part in the lottery. Likewise, the three-legged stool and the black dot also represent tradition.

Out of the black box the black dot is drawn, with the drawing of the black dot, the "winner" is "awarded" death.
