How a State Lottery is
Arranged.
ROMANCES OF SOME BIG PRIZES.
HA 1 fickle goddess. Fortune, has
just smiled upon an English in-
vestor in some foreign State
lottery.
jeW h M0 UCky a ■^ rs * Savage, received
It is seldom that such a stroke of luck
tails to the lot of a British speculator, be-
cause the percentage of lottery tickets and
foreign premium bonds held by home and
Colonuil investors is so very small, but on
the Continent hundreds of persons are
yearly winning prizes ranging in value
from thousands of pounds to a few sliil-
lings, and they have not the least suspicion
that the drawings for the prizes are con-
ducted in any but the fairest manner.
HOW NUMBERS
ARE DRAWN.
I he drawings for French Government,
municipal and other loans, in connection
with which numerous prizes or premiums
j i f ary in g values are always offered, are
held with open doors; anyone may bepre-
sent whop a drawing takes place at the
Credit Fonder; it is presided over by the
governor of the bank and other high otfr
cials. ^
Ihe tickets to be drawn, representing
the numbers of the bonds issued, are con-
tained in a large metal wheel having glass
suits. They -are hidden in small brass
cartridges, and until one of these is un-
rolled, after being drawn freak the wheel,
the number within canjiot bt jten.
The wheel itself is.js3dJ.ed mth heavy
seals and fastened wififra double or triple

responsible officials. Brought: forth from
responsible officials. jurougui; lortn rrom
the strong room where the wheel reposes
ni the interval between drawings, the seals
ire broken, the small door in the periphery
unlocked. Particulars
of the prizes to bo
drawn for and the
number of bonds to be
redeemed are read out;
the wheel is revolved to
mix the tickets. Then
a small boy from an
orphan school steps
forward, his arm bared
to above the elbow. He
shows his hand empty,
fingers apart. The door
in the wheel is opened,
and he plunges his
hand in. and withdraw-
I ing a ticket, holds it
aloft to show that onlv
j one ticket has been
I di awn.
Then it is handed to
the governor, who, uir-
| rolling _ it, announces
i.the winning number.
And the process is re-
peated till all the prizes
have been drawn.
Like many others who,
putting their luck to
the test, have sold their
chances at a small profit,
and found later, to their
great disgust, their
lxtncLs have drawn prizes,
Mrs. Savage was tempted
by an offer of ,£500 to
part, with her ticket.
Fortunately, she refused.
Far less fortunate
was a wineshop-keeper
in the Faubourg Mont-
martre, Paris. He
held a bond in Town of
Drawing the Winhing Ticket in a French Lottery
nous to a drawing lie sold Jus bond at l‘,s
market value, and his state of mind ean
be imagined when he learned that it had
drawn a prjze of .£8,000.
Some time since a Manchester publican
was agreeably surprised to hear that be
me amoum came to nana.
Still he thought he might as well try
to cash it; so, accompanied by a few
fighting friends who were going to get the
money or know why, he set out for Paris.
The crowd descended on the Hotel de
Ville in battle array to meet a great dis-
appointment. There was no fighting, fox,
of course, the cheque was cashed a.t
Most winners are not anxious- that their
good fortune shall be noised in the Press.
If it is. they are inundated with thou-
sands of begging letters, offers of marriage,
epistles from inventors, and the like. ]
