Hitch-hikers' raffle tickets

P.M. Bailey

This scheme used to operate in Eastern Europe. The idea was that potential travellers could buy books of lottery style tickets from a central state monitoring organisation, then hitch wherever they liked, giving every driver a ticket. At the end of the month a draw would be held to reward the lucky winner. It promotes the pooling of cars, and legitimises the hitcher above the level of scrounger.

P.M. Bailey, 44 Sparrowmire Lane, Hallgarth, Kendal, Cumbria (tel 0539 733204).
