Numbers game; circa 1966-1984

Identifier: mus_aaec1808

Description: From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. A man labeled “Lottery” is wearing old-fashioned clothing and a bowler hat, and he has a handle-bar moustache. He is standing beside a raffle/lottery wire cylinder basket labeled “La. Senate.” The top of the basket is open, and the man has pulled out a card labeled “24-14 to table bill.” The cartoon caption reads, “The numbers game.” [Note: Archaic dress, bowler hat, and moustache style may refer to the 1868-1893 Louisiana lottery. The current Louisiana lottery began in 1991, later than artist Pletcher created cartoons for The Times-Picayune).
