THE £6,000 PRIZE

MOUNT EDEN SYNDICATE [Special to the ‘Star.’] AUCKLAND, September 6. The Auckland ticket which won the first prize of £6,000 in the sweepstake drawn at Hobart is owned by a syndicate of Mount Eden residents. As there are seven members in it each person will receive £857 2s lOd. According to advice received in Auckland the prize was said to have been drawn by “ Money Wanted,” care of T.D.A., Auckland. The initials are those of Mr T. D. Anderson, men’s outfitter, of Mount Eden, who stated that six other persons besides himself had shares in the ticket. He declined to divulge the names of the other members of tho syndicate, saying he had not their permission to do so. One of tho seven holders of shares in the ticket, however, is Mrs G. H. Greenwood, of Sandringham, and another is Mr Alexander Reid, of Kohimarama. Both stated that beyond the announcement in the paper they had no confirmation of their success. It is not now the custom to notify prize winners by cable, so that until tho result slip arrives by mail tho holders of the ticket are unlikely to receive any official notification from Hobart.
