Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratia. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 programmes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prise, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an 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 an investor of 10s. Head this.—ln Boas’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the I enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or cash prize in any of the hone consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the cash prizes,: which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without their written consent This 11th grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the super vision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
