Meaning
To take part in a pardna savings scheme by paying in your regular contribution — 'throwing' your hand into the common fund each week or fortnight. To throw partner is a disciplined way of saving: the obligation to pay your hand keeps you putting money aside, and in return you wait your turn for the big draw. You can throw one hand or several, and throwing a bigger hand means a bigger payout.
