WINNER OF £2,500
SOLD WINNING' TICKET
AUCKLANDERS’ 'LUCK
AUCKLAND, April 6. B. Munro-Clark, winner of the first prize £2OOO, in the “Now or Never” art union, is an employ-ee in the office of the organiser, Mr Compton, who stated in Auckland to-day that Clark had bought a book of tickets that had been returned unsold by a Rotorua dealer. Clark also won the prize of £SOO allotted to the seller of the winning ticket. He entered his name on the stub of the winning ticket as Munro, a contraction of his name. Clarke had no part in the drawing, which was by marbles from bags. The final drawing was done by Detective Sullivan. It is stipulated on the tickets that if the seller of the winning ticket is an employee of the organiser the buyer of the ticket is re garded as the seller.—P.A.
