Since Jackson didn't capitalize lottery in the story, you shouldn't capitalize it in your essay.

Answered by Reed
No, not usually. As I recall Jackson's story, the lottery doesn't have an official title as in "Powerball" or some other name, so it would not be capitalized as a proper noun. Is it capitalized in your imprint of the story? If so, then you should, too. If not, then no.
