Lottery fills slowly
Demand for $2O tickets in the Trotting Sweepstake lottery which went on sale yesterday was down on previous such lotteries, according to Christchurch tobacconists. “Sales were a little slower than on previous occasions,” said a spokesman for Finneys. tobacconists. “There was a rush from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., but things slowed down after that.” Twenty people were wait-
ing outside the shop in Cathedral Square at opening time yesterday morning, but a few books are still left. “The demand is there, but it is not as great as in the past. People have to dig just that little deeper when it comes to $20,” said Mr J. C. Fowke, manager of Finneys and David Fowke tobacconists, in Manchester Street. The sweepstake has $3 million in prizemoney with more than 10,227 prizes.
