0 a type of gambling, often on a horse race, in which people pay a small amount of money and choose a particular horse, team, etc. The person who chooses the winning horse, team, etc. receives all the money paid by everyone else. --
I meant a sweepstake ticket connected with a lottery which would be illegal.
To apply to it the term "foreign lottery or sweepstake" is not correct.
I would not want to set up some new bureaucracy conducting a national sweepstake where there is existing machinery which could run it efficiently.
Surely the right to a certainty in 1954 should not depend on a failure to have entered for the sweepstake in 1947.
In addition, if the sweepstake was started, many of the tickets would be bought abroad.
The proceeds from the sweepstake would also help to increase the stakes, which would assist all engaged in racing.
I am quite unashamedly in favour of a private body's being allowed to run this sweepstake.
I am wondering what happens supposing the promoter is found not to be very satisfactory in his conducting of the sweepstake.
