Meaning
The lump sum a member receives when their turn comes around in a pardna savings scheme — the whole pool of everyone's hands for that period, paid out to one person. Getting your draw is the payoff for all the weeks of throwing your hand: a big sum in your hand at once, timed by where your turn falls in the order. People plan the timing of their draw around a big need like Christmas, rent, or school.
