Postcards from Coney Island 1937

Grandma in Coney Island at 17 years old (the girl on the left)

Table Lotto Service?

 

Found amongst my grandma's photos.  I'm not sure what year this is from (seeing as how it was for a Sonny Dunham performance I'm going to guess the 1940's/50s) but the cover charge cracks me up.  I wish some of the places I go had covers like that!  I also find it weird that someone would need to play their lottery number while out to dinner, but when inspiration strikes...unless it's a reference to a song request?
