Dunedin. npoETING X B W S 11 I GRAND DISTRIBUTION of MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to tho HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in New Zealand, and tho system that will bo carried out in this and in future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a prize in any of tho Horso Consul tations, as people who have frequently tried in tho Numerous Horso Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial In this drawing may convince the most scovitical, as tho drawing will take place as soon as the tiekclsuro applied for, or not later than 28th FEBRUARY. This GRAND DRAWING will consist of lfiO Money Prizes amounting in nil lo £i,OIPO, sub scribed by 4,000 members ill 10s each. The various Money Prizes will bo distributed as fol lows:—One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £50 prizes live t'JO prizes, one hundred £10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. The Grand Principle of this and future draw ings will be that any Investor purchasing 2.5 tickets must secure a prize, in fact in f/iiaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn fffvi the 100 prizesto every 2.5 numbers mm to the 4,000. Any Investor of £1 tho chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, and any Investor of £2 the chances will be 0 to 1 againsthim getting a prize, and tho Head Prize or any other may bo drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conducted on the Fairest Principle possi ble, and Investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in pre ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prize at all. The Drawing will take place under the Immo diatc Supervision of Six Ucntlemcn, and Iwo Youths will draw tho numbers and prizes, and the prizes will all be paid over within 24 hours after the drawing or immediately after the winning numbers arc forwarded, deducting the usual Iff per cent, for working expenses.
