Renta de loteria de la isla de Cuba (1812-1844): a Mexican rulebook, a four-peso ticket cut into eighths, and a charity line of 3,600 pesos

The Havana state lottery, ordered by royal order of 28 April 1810 and run from 1812 under the reglamento of the Mexico lottery of 1769 - one Indies institution governed by another's rulebook. Its ordinance of 1836 divided the four-peso ticket into eighths so that small purses could play, locked the draw behind three keys held by three officers, and left, in the accounts it prints, 3,600 pesos a year for the poorhouse.
