The three previous drawings were filled a week prior to the advertised date of closing. The Public of New Zealand have appre ciated these Grand Hamburg Drawings, therefore the Company anticipate having their Fifth Drawing on a larger scale.

The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. The'large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse consulta- but you will observe in this Ham burg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize.
