Lotto banks do a thriving business

classes and conditions contribute every
week to the game, by which they hope
to make fortunes. The princess and
her maid the professor and his pupils,
the bootblack and the army officer, the
crippled mendicant, school children
everybody is drawn into the lotto net.
The main office is in Rome, but sub
Offices are in operation in every hamlet
in the kingdom, and drawings take
place every Saturday in eight cities.
The public knows the hour of the
drawing. and the plaza near the Via
del Umitta, near the Quirinal, always
swarms with people when the little
blind boy draws five numbers Of the
ninety which have been placed there.
These numbers are displayed on a
signboard in the order in which they
are drawn, and the player who has
bought a ticket with the same num-
bers in the same order receives the
grand prize. The play keeps many
people still poorer than they would be
and is a great source of revenue to the
country Illustrirte Zeitung.
