Old Lottery Game Bobs Up Again And Ticket Sellers Do Business Openly With Countless ‘Suckers’ f’s the Oid Game of ‘Betting on Closing Figures of the Total Stock Sales on 4 New York Stock Exchange. An old lottery game, supposed to have been suppressed several years @gc, bas bobbed up again in Greater New York, and the promoters of it are doing a thriving business. At is the old scheme of betting on the daily closing figures of the stock @ales on the New York Stock Ex- Change. Tickets are sold at 60. cents each, each ticket bearing a number @ontaining not less than four figures. "The holder of ‘a ticket compares his umber with tle total amount of sales &g r orded in one of the newspapers. ¥e the final four figures of the sales the same us those on his tickets, gets the big prize of thaday. It tiiree are identical with the last three Of his ticket number, he wins one of the second prizes; and if thero are @mly two numbers identical, he gets one of the smaller prizes. For instance, the total sales re- corded on the Stock Exchange on Wednesday. noted in the financial columns of one paper yesterday morn- fmg, was $1,158,000. If the holder of a ticket carried the number 8,000, he would be entitled to the first prize which is printed on the ticket. To make ‘the matter more clear, take a ticket which has been issued for the week beginning Apri! 4, which ig the current week. The ticket shows on its face just what might be won each day of the week, and shows also how much chance the *‘sucker" chaser has to win « prize or * mium.”* This particular ticket calls for pre- miums each day from Monday to Fri- day Inclusive. Should the holder's number contain all four of the final figures in the day's stock transac- tions for Monday he could win $82, but only one purchaser could win that amount, for each ticket bears a differ- ent number. The prize for Monday’s drawing was $75 for the ticket holder whose number contained all four fig- ures. Tho ticket carrying three of the figures would win $5, and there are uine such prizes and ninety prizes of $2 each for the number containing only two of the figures of tho total stock sales. The prizes are progressive as the PrO- THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, APRIL 7 week proceeds. The first for Tyes- day ts $100, and there are nine wore for $10 each, and each day in the Week the ninety prizes of $2 stand. Wednesday's first prize is $126 aud nine of $16 each; Thursday's $175 and nine for $20 cach, while Friday's first drawing ts $600, with nine prizes of $26 efch and ninety of $2 each. Just where the tickets arg printed and who the promoters of the lottery arc hae not been developed, but the salesman of the lottery chances are legion. It is quite possible that the so-called agents are having thelr own tickets printed, which is all the capi- tal that appears necessary for con- ducting the game. In nearly every big office in every line of industry the tickets are being peddled afid the purohaser rarely stops to inquire as to the financial backing of the adlesmen. To promote u ticket like that which has just been de- seribed, with the prospect of paying every prize offered a capital of $2,475 would be necessary. That is the amount which would have to be paid out, and to raise this amount it would be necessary to sell 4,950 tickets at 60 cents each, which would not in- clude the cost of printing the tickets and the commissions of the sales- men, DR.
