The town holds a lottery primarily because it is a tradition that is thought to bring them a good harvest. This practice is seen as a way to ensure prosperity and maintain cultural rituals. While the other reasons you mentioned, such as remembering their town’s history and community support, may also play a role, the central belief in its purpose revolves around the idea of securing good fortune for the harvest.
