The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is 'guaranteed a Prize, and the chances are in favour of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. ■To an investor of L2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and (he Head Prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read this. —ln Boaz’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a Horse or Cash Prize in any of the Horse 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 j and this Company would noi 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 course will be pursued in consequence of the company having received many letters at various times from prize winners, particularly requesting the company not on any account to make their names public. This Seventh Grand Drawing for L4OOO will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible aftei the drawing.
