French National Lottery... Tax?? Revenues?? Cinderellas??

Was scanning some old French lottery tickets that I am going to be liquidating, and a few of them have a stamp on them. I am just curious, are these revenues? or just cinderellas?? The numbers on the stamps match the actual lottery ticket number on the one, and the others, I assume it is also the same. Any ideas??

Thanks Kuhli,
another little bit of information I have been searching for.

If you sell I am very interested, or put it up
for auction.

My example

I don't buy from online auctions Kuhli,
Thanks anyhows,
I see you have a bid already! :) way to go.
I wish you good fortune.
They were nice.

Hi kuhli
Got to ask you. What do you use to get such sharp, clear scans and those colours. Wow ! They are bloody amazing. Which image host do you use for uploading?
Those are just about the best scans I've seen on any forum.

hahaha. I find that very funny, as I am totally inept at imaging. was given a used scanner (Epson Perfection V100 Photo)
last week. set the options first time - 300dpi, original size, backlight correction and dust removal. all the other setting
are the factory defaults. saves the scans as a .jpg, and I leave them alone. as for the hosting, I have my own domain/website,
and upload them via FTP to a isolated folder for use. I have unlimited bandwidth & storage, so it's no problem to dump as much
as I want into it.

The top Lottery ticket has one of my favourite
pieces of sculpture, "The Marsellaise of Francois Rude.



It resides on the side of the Arc de Triomphe.

A Cinderella of the Marsellaise:


It is locate at the "E" on the Right Hand Side Pillar :


Here is the real thing, Is it not absolutely beautiful!

yes rod222, I agree that it is a beautiful and very powerful sculpture. I wonder how many times it has been on French stamps. (I don't have a French catalog and probably wouldn't plow through it anyway)

I don't recall any Rohumpy, but stamps
always have something hidden away :)

Most readers (of my age anyhows) will know
"The Marseillaise" rather intimately, at least
the opening bars....

The hit Beatles single of 1967, "All You Need is Love", used the opening bars of "La Marseillaise" as an introduction.

...or the scene in Rick's, in Casablanca, where the patrons drown out the German officers by singing it.

Really?! must be time for a revisit.

I would revisit...but if you just can't wait, here it is, slightly out of context.

(There is a bit of material on both ends, which works well enough for anyone familiar with the movie.)

How good is the internet!
instant access to random information.
brilliant Collin.

My word! Ms Bacall was one beautiful lassie, was she not?

Ms. Bacall was one beautiful lassie...Ingrid Bergman was no slouch either.

So, I was going through some French Morocco, and who should I run into, but Republic, herself...



The sculptor, Rude, is given credit as a part of the design credits.

Thanks very much for this clip Cjd. It's great to see it again.

It's a moving scene and must have been very powerful for audiences back in 1942.
