Loterie du Lingot d Or Nugget Brings Charity to Burgundy Village
A Burgundian vine-dresser won the Loterie du Lingot d Or prize valued at 18,000 francs and gave 2,000 francs to build a new village church. He then traveled to Paris with his family, later returning to accept a church role as sexton and beadle, living modestly after his munificent gift. The tale sits among anecdotes from Australia and other period sketches, including vignettes about dog behavior, social judgments, and scientific talk on microphones and cocoa products.
