While the winning guesses are very

were very wide Of the mark. Perhaps

number. The guesses ranged from !
to Al 100000. One man wrote bicycle
on his ticket, signifying his wish.
Another wrote ''csmers" on number
OF tickets, but the charm would moi
work. Many omitted their names from
the tickets while still others wrote their
names but omitted the numbers. Com.
binations Of numbers like l7,777, with
one figure predominating, seemed TO be
favorites.
