Punch Board Chance Preceded Lottery

Who knew that in the 1940’s and ‘50’s you could do some small time gambling at most country stores in this area? A “punch board” would be positioned near the cash register. You could pay 5 cents to punch a piece of paper from one of the hundreds of sealed holes in the board (actually thick cardboard). Colorful text promised a chance to win up to $5.00. The board in the picture below displayed some of the potential winnings. They were not exactly legal, but I think punch boards finally faded away more from lack of interest than from any law enforcement crack-down.
