Beside her is Miss Elizabeth Mary Dorey, the loser ( who takes larger amount ) Two maids are short - listed to throw dice and the one with the highest score gets the cash ; another local charity fund is used for the consolation prize and because this charity has performed better in terms of earnings over the years, the runner - up gets more money than the winner.
