The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 proI grames is guaranteed a prize, aad the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are L2O large prizes to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. Read this carefully. Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note some of the horse consultations on the Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10a, equal to LIO,OOO. The Cup gives 133 nominations, so that the odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawing a horte. Now take the cash prizes drawn j at the same time, and calculate the odds ; you will find in each of the cash awards I that the odds vary from 200 to 5,000 to 1 against an investor drawing a cash prize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised ta be replaced for each drawing ot the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. The Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultation ; and the Company would not presume to tell the public that they hare a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. This fifth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
