"LUCKY" CAR NUMBERS RAISE $1.8 MILLION FOR CHARITY
More than $1.8 million has been raised so far for charity through
the sale of "lucky" car numbers.
And it is hoped that the $2 million mark may be reached this
Saturday (October 6) when another 20 of the special car registration plates
will be put up for auction in the City Hall Theatre at 11 a.m.
Since the scheme started in August last year, 258 car numbers
have been sold at a total cost of $1,800,550. The highest amount paid for
a single number (IK 2) was $110,000.
Proceeds of the auctions go to the Government Lotteries Fund for
charity purposes, after expenses have been deducted.
As before, successful bidders in Saturday's auction will have to
pay in cash or by cheque immediately after the bidding. The "lucky" numbers
will be assigned only to a vehicle registered in the name of the successful
bidder within 12 months of the auction.
The latest registration plates to be auctioned are:
