Dans les marchés aux puces, certains artisans sont invités à déposer une de leurs créations sur une table désignée à cet effet. Sur cette table, on dépose une boîte de conserve vis-à-vis chaque objet. Les gens intéressés à un objet peuvent se procurer un billet de tirage à un coût minime (50 cents, par exemple) et le déposer dans la boîte qui est vis-à-vis l’objet convoité. Ensuite, on procède au tirage : le gagnant remporte l’objet et l’artisan amasse l’argent recueilli par la vente de billets liée à l’objet. 1, record 2, French, - vente%20de%20billets%20de%20tirage
