Total amount, £3,000: 240 money prizes. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grames is guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, asd the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a largo prize, as there are 160 large prizes to 80 Small ones.

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 tions, 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. , This Hamburg Drawing is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fair ! est principle possible, s; as to give entire public satisfaction.
