F. Jones, of Pukeroro. He lives on the main Hamilton-Cambridge Road, about 7i miles from Hamilton, being employed on his father's farm. The first young Jones heard of his windfall was when tlie morning paper arrived. His sister bought the ticket for him at a tobacconists shop in Hamilton recently. When a reporter arrived this morning Dick Jones was chasing pigs about the farm and seemed unconcerned about his win. His father was sharemilking for ten years on the farm which he took over m August. Dick ha si uo idea what will be done with the money, but it is possible lie will lend it to his father to buy the farm. A coincidence is that Mr. Jones, sen., pui chased a ticket 10 years ago, the number of which was next to the number of the then winning ticket for £2000. I his is the third first prize to come to Hamilton.
