Stop there! The unconditional weaned from their favorite pastime because of the pandemic, will be able to give it to their heart again in the hope, often disappointed but always maintained, of bringing back the jackpot. Next meeting, this November 11 in the afternoon.
Often in the cold winter, we heard near the halls of parties or cafes a cry both familiar and a bearer of joy. Yes, the famous: “Quine !” followed by the traditional, “Do not stand out “.
An exclamation whose history is lost in the mists of time, particularly in the heart of the blanquetière city.
A thousand-year-old game
If we find traces of the lottery in China, there are more than two thousand years, the word loto is however of Italian origin “loto” translation “sort”, practiced in the remote times of our civilization. Closer to home, the lotos embellished the Limousin evenings as well as the surrounding villages.
Unfortunately, the health crisis caused an interruption in the holding of these demonstrations. However, the fall of 2021 saw the resurgence of this popular game of chance. Under understandable health standards, the lotos are reorganizing on the territory.
From time immemorial, individuals have been attracted to games of chance, an interest in winning, of course, but above all good entertainment with the family or in groups. Moments of uncertainty, liberating expression or disappointment, so many feelings experienced by all the participants.
The Lyre Lotto
Sports clubs, cultural associations… Lotos, also qualified as a “rifle” among our Catalan neighbors, represent for many associations a financial contribution often necessary to perpetuate their activities.
This Thursday 11 November the Lyre limouxine organizes its traditional lottery. In this regard, the city halls will open their doors from 1:30 p.m. (health pass required). The organizers are offering 15 quines, 3 full boxes as well as double quines. Vouchers, travel vouchers, wine cellar and a trip to the Costa Brava are among the lots offered.
In the midst of other activities, the lotos are an integral part of the local festive heritage. The enthusiasm that accompanies their return is a concrete sign.
