Explanation:

In "The Lottery", Tessie complains it's unfair when she wins as winning means being stoned to death. The situational irony is that lotteries are usually seen as positive, but here it leads to a violent and negative outcome.

Answer:

For the second question: You expect the lottery to be a good thing, but it's not.
