This issue of Loterie Nationale was created to bring awareness in favour of the fight against the cold of January 1941.
The Loterie Nationale was created in France in May 1933. Its dividends were slated for a retirement fund in favour of the war veterans. Beginning in 1952 the Loterie Nationale faced a tough competition from the PMU (horse races). The last drawing of the Loterie Nationale took place in December 1990, when it is was replaced by the more and more popular Loto. This poster was done for the drawing in favour of the fight against the cold of January 1941.
