Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
The 100 years of Tattersalls Sweeps involved not only the ‘rags to riches’ story of the founder George Adams, but also the epic struggles of Tattersalls against State and Federal Government attempts to outlaw the enterprise. The enactment of anti-gambling legislation and the application of Commonwealth Postal Bans against the Estate would have beaten most ventures. It is a fascinating story of the survival of one of the two most famous private lotteries in the world (the other is the Irish Sweep). The Luck of the Draw is lavishly illustrated with more than 100 illustrations, including many in colour.
