RAFFLE TICKET THAT COST 25
CENTS WON LAND WORTH
$1,090,000
J CLEVELAND, Aug., 23, (A5)-Rob- I
ert Gordon, 24. former taxi driver,
out of work for three weeks, was of
:^red $1,000,000 for oil land which |
he won on a raffle ticket costing
25 cents in San Antonio, Tex., three j
years ago.
4,A fellow named Sanders came j
up and offered me $1,000,000 for the ;
three acres I own down there,
Gordon explained. “He said they
struck oil on my property. I told
him to stop kidding me. It took
hfm n Ion?' time to convince me. i
Out of work and now worth a mil
lion! Gosh, what a break!”
Three years ago. while a student
at the aviation school at the
Brooks-Kelly field in San Antonio, !
Gordon attended an automobile
Slow.
“They had a raffle and I bought
a ticket and won three acres out j
near Paris, Texas. The land was j
all barren—just a couple of weeds |
sticking out—but they started drill
ing out there so I thought I would
hold on to it, figuring I’d take a
chance for a quarter,” Gordon re
flated. “So I paid $75 to have the
land surveyed.”
Gorden plans to leave with San
ders for the scene of the gusher.
“I want to see what they are offer
ing me $1,000,000 for,” Gordon ex
plained. So excited has Gordon
been over the news that he could
not remember the name of the firm
Sanders was representing.
