Answer:
see Explantion
Step-by-step explanation:
They didn't stop the lottery because they needed to control population with the lack of resources they had. They do the lottery to see who will get murd3r3d so they can keep population low and fear high so everyone does their part because they are afraid of them being called next for the lottery. This is why they draw names from the box, to see who is chosen for the lottery.
Best of luck to you!
