Tickets are sold for one dollar, and orders are to be addressed to "L.D. Sine, box 710, Cincinnati, Ohio." On bottom of verso is a section titled "Manner of Drawing," describing how the drawings are called and what the process entails. Shown in this section is an engraving of a blindfolded young man with one hand on a lottery wheel, and the other holding up a piece of paper.
