Old Book Volume 10
"Win the Lottery!"

"If you want to get filthy rich, the lottery is your ticket. Here's
all you need to know."

Q1: How can I buy tickets?
A1: Go to a lottery sales outlet! One ticket costs 100 potch.
You can buy up to 10 tickets for a drawing, but only during the sales
period. When the sales period stops, the drawing & payout period
starts. That's when you should check your numbers and collect any
winnings.

Q2: How much can I win?
A2: The typical range is 500,000 for 1st prize to 3,000 for 4th prize.
Complimentary and grand prizes also exist. Complimentary prizes differ
by seller.

"The tricky part is cashing in your winners. That can onnly be done
where you bought them. Remember that! And for that matter, remember
winning tickets can only be confirmed within 3 lottery draws after
the one it was purchased for. Any later than that, and your ticket
is void! But once you've identified a ticket as a winner, you're
free to carry it around until it burns a hole in your armor."

"The rest if up to you. Do you know the saying, 'Players win,
watchers lose'? Well, it's true!"

"May you have the last dance with Lady Luck!"
