Seamstresses, 1940s (photo)

Winner of the money lottery. It went down like a bomb in one of Ahremarks' large sewing halls in Borås when four seamstresses were suddenly informed that they had won 100,000 kroner. The four lucky ones are Iris Svensson, Ruth Thunström, Märtha Karlsson and Alfhild Pettersson. The winnings will, among other things, go towards travel. All four happy winners also dream of their own villa. Here at the workplace where they display the winning coupon. A so-called sewing tip. A seamstress's tip is otherwise a saying where someone tries to predict results or make predictions in subjects they lack knowledge in. Much like you can imagine that a seamstress doesn't know anything about football. You simply fill in the tip coupon completely randomly but still manage to get a big win. No truth in the seamstress tip has been confirmed, but there are reports of seamstresses who won money from the tip in the 1920s and 1930s. Sweden 1945.
