Preparations for the Tissue Box Raffle are complete, and before the lottery draw begins they place the winning lot inside the box together, but the chairman is last to withdraw his hand. The chairman is also first to draw a lot, and takes a long time with his selection, but he draws a blank. Kaiji takes his turn, but he cannot find his duplicate winning lot on the inside edge of the box where he had placed it earlier. He draws a blank and realizes that he has only a 50-50 chance of winning.
