Increases in sellers' prizes, sought by the organisers of the sweepstakes, in respect of winning sweepstake tickets were approved by me with effect from the Sweepstake held on the Cambridgeshire of 6th October, 1973. The increases in the sellers' prizes were:—ticket winning £200,000, an increase from £4,000 to £20,000; ticket winning £50,000, an increase from £1,000 to £5,000; ticket winning £20,000, an increase from £600 to £2,000; ticket winning £10,000, an increase from £400 to £1,000.
