Old Lottery



This was a standard kiosk for the Romanian National Lottery during the communism era. The shot was taken in the city of Felix Baths...

And speaking about communism, let's have a laugh from that era:

Q: What is KGB?
A: It's the heart of the Communist Party, which beats, and beats, and beats...

And another one:

Two convicts were having a conversation:
"John, how many years you got?" asks the first one.
"15 years", answers John.
"What for? What did you do?"
"Nothing!" says John.
"You're lying! For nothing you get only 5 years!"
