Hi Ruth
We do not put the toonies in the drum to be drawn from. When toonies come in we peel the stickers off and put those stickers on the data sheet that has that number-the stickers cover the numbers. When someone registered a number, that number is written on a wooden token which is placed in the drum. It remains there for every draw. When we pull a token from the drum we then look to the sheets to see if a sticker is covering the number. If there is it was played. If there is no sticker it was not.
I hope that helps answer your question.
