One thing that has always fascinated me about the story was the reaction. When it came out in 1948 (check out this link to the actual first publication) in the New Yorker, people were shocked, horrified, and interested in what it meant.
Jackson is on record as saying out of all the letters she received that summer were not so much concerned with what it meant or her intent. Instead they wanted to know where these "lotteries" were held and whether they could go there and watch.
I find that even more horrifying than the story itself.
So when I saw this link to more information about Jackson's story, I couldn't wait to read it. It high lights some of the other letters Jackson's biographer was able to find (Jackson kept many). The results are absolutely amazing.
