ONE FOR THE SHELF
Mr B. H. Cavell’s business js selling groceries. When he bought a raffle ticket recently he hardly gave any thought to the possibility that he might win the first prize. But this is what happened; and he was ready to be knocked over with a cornflake when he realised that the prize was $250 worth of groceries.
And because he bought the ticket in his own shop he also won the bonus prize of $2OO as the seller of the winning number.
Mr Cavell, who runs the Russley supermarket, said he made it a rule not to sell raffle tickets in his shop “because it usually leads to requests from so many organisations.”
“But I made an exception this time because the raffle was for the Horse Society’s Olympic Games fund, and I am very interested in horses.” Mr Cavell has now decided to take tickets in the same raffle for its further draws.
