‘500’ Lottery Tickets Sold

will be paid off immediately after the race. But no one knows who will pay off and where. One salesman said he was going to sell “loads of tickets” out at the race, where the Speedway fever is running at high pitch. Owners of the new lottery explained on the tickets that they are ‘void outside this state.” Similar tickets were floating around Anderson, Muncie and Terre Haute. Here's how it works: Each ticket contains a special player's number.
Three of a Kind—All Wild
To have a winning ticket, you must have a number that corresponds to certain digits in the speeds of the first six winners. i . Determination of the winner is complicated. It is based on average miles per hour of the first six drivers, taking the fifth digit of each of -the six winning speeds. If these six numbers correspond to the number on the
ticket, that ticket wins. Amount of thé payoff—if ever made—is not specified.
