"We are now proud to present this book which aims to be a practical reference guide and catalogue for the lottery ticket collectors from the beginnings of Republican era till the end of 2014. In preparing this book, we did our best to compile each ticket as many as possible in their clear visible forms. Doubtless to say, we are always open to your valuable critique and input which wil be taken into account in next editions.
