Malta 1957 Lottery Winner

Hi all, bought this item at about £1 last year but only recently realised this person won £10,000 back in '57. Does anyone have any info on the malta lottery or who won this prize? Also, is there any value to collectors or is it literally a lot of numbers on an old bit of paper? Regards, Tom.

If there's anything on the form that mentions that one would have to send in a payment to receive the prize then it's a scam.

This is just a list of the winning numbers.Maybe Mrs Harris was a winner.
The gaming authority(S. Zammit) sent it(or Dammit !)
I guess people collect lottery tickets like the one below
selling buy now for 15 euros(1957)
Frankly I would prefer a winning ticket...

Great, thanks for the info.

A cinderella stamp promoting the Malta Government Lottery was produced in the late 1940s (the earliest use I've seen is 1946). It depicts the unofficial pre-independence flag of Malta, with the George Cross on a blue canton. It is inscribed "Buy a Malta Govt Lottery Ticket". Here's an example of the cinderella used on cover:



I'm also aware of another version of the cinderella, but it is imperforate, the text is in blue, and it is additionally inscribed for the Christmas 1949 draw.



The original perforated cinderella is quite common and it is inexpensive, but I've only seen two copies of the imperforate one so far (although undoubtedly there are more out there). It would be interesting to see if there are other similar ones for different draws.
