Science Fiction is a form of literature (or movie) that takes place in the future with space ships and such. The subject and plot usually involves some technical aspects of space travel or time travel. Supernatural is an event or story that involves interaction with something that can not be detected by your natural senses or that is caused by other than natural phenomena. A story that has the people of earth attacked by alien space travelers is a science fiction. A supernatural story would have a ghost attak the people of earth.

In this case The Lottery could be science fiction if it were constrained to the realm of soft science fiction."What If" Easily science fiction as no great 'forgiveness' for scientific deviations are made in this story."Utopia / Dystopia" Yes easily science fiction."Gadgetry Science Fiction" no.Science Fiction is that body of work to which we point when referencing the genera.

Audiences who are not interested in the Science Fiction genre or those who prefer real-world, non-fiction content would likely be uninterested in a magazine featuring Science Fiction stories and book reviews.
