In the story “the lottery” how does the person know they have been chosen

mr. summers reminds everyone about the lottery’s rules: he’ll read names, and the family heads come up and draw a slip of paper. no one should look at the paper until everyone has drawn. he calls all the names, greeting each person as they come up to draw a paper. mr. adams tells old man warner that people in the north village might stop the lottery, and old man warner ridicules young people. he says that giving up the lottery could lead to a return to living in caves. mrs. adams says the lottery has already been given up in other villages, and old man warner says that’s “nothing but trouble.”
