of the handle

[gleb.livejournal.com]

The winning lottery number was the last three digits of the handle at a particular racetrack on that day, which was published in the newspaper, so everybody knew if he or she had won.

кто-то может пояснить??

UPD: есть дальше такой контекст: I don't fix the handle the way Weinberg does with his phonus-balonus racetracks in Timbuktu

Handle — The money wagered on a given race day.

То есть сумму ставок за каждый день печатали в газете, и последние 3 цифры этой суммы использовались в лотерее.
