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

ага, то есть фикс - в данном случае ПРИПИСКА?

Не обязательно ПРИписка (x=y+m), может быть и НЕДОписка (x=y-n). В любом случае, изменение цифры по сравнению с истинной (y).
