The most obvious similiarity between "The Lottery" and "The Hunger Games" rituals would be how the person gets chosen. In both the story and the movie, there is either a bowl or a box that has slips of paper in them. Those slips of paper determine who will be chosen. It also seems that the piece of paper in "The Hunger Games" also has a sort of black area, alike "The Lottery" in which the paper had a black dot in the middle. A small one I noticed when watching the movie clip was how the town or district were both dressed nicely.

Another subtle difference between the rituals I found would be how "The Hunger Games" has the districts all included, and against each-other. It's different in "The Lottery", where you only have that certain villiage involved. Therefore, it is villiager versus villiager and person versus group (by group, I mean all the people in the games minus themself). They could both be considered competitions, but in different ways/

Both are traditions, both pieces of literature are indeed traditions. It is an annual drawing, a drawing that will both result in death. The way the people react to the rituals are the same as well: nervous and cold. Nobody wants to be chosen, but someone has to be. They're both done in a more formal fashion, with everyone present. To save the hassle, they could've both easily just sent drafts (alike the Vietnam War ones), but the way the authors chose to pick affects the story. If it was just a draft notice, Katniss wouldn't have been able to give herself up for her sister.

Although the two pieces are similar, they're also different in ways. The ritual happens in "The Lottery" as a sacrifice for the towns crops, however, the ritual takes place in "The Hunger Games" because the Capitol wants to show their power over the citizens. It isn't sarcifical whatsoever, more in a sense to scare the citizens into doing exactly as the government says.
