Original WWII Dutch Winterhulp Nederland lottery ticket with envelope

This lottery ticket from the Winterhulp Nederland lottery of 1941 is a remarkable piece of Dutch history from the Second World War.The ticket, priced at 50 cents, was issued in support of the Winterhulp organization, a National Socialist institution that organized charitable actions during the occupation.The ticket features elegant graphic printing with clover motifs and the text 'Voor het Volk – Door het Volk' ('For the People – By the People').On the back it states that a total of 6,000,000 tickets were issued, with 885,000 prizesamounting to a total value of ƒ 1,000,000.This particular ticket (Series B, number 616536) unfortunately states 'Niets gewonnen' ('Nothing won').What makes this example special is that it is still complete with the original envelope, bearing the red Winterhulp Nederland seal and official payment instructions.Article number: 16526
