"Step into the world of chance and excitement with raffles. From the iconic Raffles Hotel to historical events like Hazel Lavery's stunning Lucile gown for Petticoat Lane Tombola during WWI, raffles have always captivated us. Picture a bustling scene in front of Raffles Hotel, with a taxi cab waiting as eager participants gather for their shot at luck. Even back in 1066, the Dublin Derby Sweep Draw sparked imaginations and dreams. In Belgium during 1915, amidst hardship and hunger, a colorful litho depicts locals eagerly participating in a raffle to brighten their spirits. Traveling back further in time to c. 1791 Japan, we witness Chinese boys engrossed in playing a raffle game - proving that this form of entertainment has transcended borders throughout history. The artistry involved is evident through an exquisite die-sinker engraving capturing the essence of this beloved tradition. Fast forward to 1837 when "The Raffle (Raffling for the Goose)" painting on mahogany showcases how even everyday objects can become prizes worth vying for. Jan de Groot's Bookshop and Lottery Agency in Amsterdam offers another glimpse into how raffles have been integrated into daily life over centuries. Antiques bazaars come alive with anticipation as collectors hunt for hidden treasures through thrilling raffle draws. And who could forget La Loteria Nacional? An oil on canvas masterpiece from 1861-67 transports us to Spain where buying tickets becomes an event filled with hope and possibility. Finally, an enchanting engraving portrays people gathering around anxiously awaiting the outcome of "The Raffle for the Watch. " Whether it be grand or humble prizes, across cultures and eras, one thing remains constant - our fascination with taking chances and dreaming big through raffles.
