Grand Distribution of Money Prizes '.XT7ILL take place similar to the Hamburg - TT ■ principle of drawings. Nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in N.Z., i and the system that will be carried out in ; ;'tKii and future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Morse Consultations, as. people who have j , ■ frequently tried in the numerous horse consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in - ' this drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the Tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th February. This Grand Drawing will consist of 160 . Money Przes, amounting in all to £2000, j •übscribed by 4000 Members at 10a. each. j • The various Money Prizes will be Distributed as follows :—1 £300 Prize, 1 £150 Prize, I £100 Prize, 2 £50 Prizes, 5 £20 Prizes, 1100 £10 Prizes, 50 £5 Prizes. The grand principle of thia and future drawings will be that any investor purchasing 25 Tickets must secure a prize—in fact, guaranteed one, as a prize will be drawn from v the 160 Prizes to every number up to the ,4000. . ' f . Any investor of £1, the chances, will be only 12 to .1 against him, and any investor of - ' £2, it will only be 6to 1 against him getting a Prize, and the head pbize or any other may drawn by any investor of 10s. ...;. . Th» Drawing is on the most novel, and ' will be conducted on the fairest, principle „• possible, and > investors will'find it to their . advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in preference to any of the numerous horse consultations, where ■ the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 20,000 to 1 againtt getting a prize at all. ' ' The Drawing will take place under the immediate supervision of cix gentlemen, and two youths will draw the Numbers and Prizes, and the Prizes will all be paid, over within 24 hour! after I the" drawing,' or immediately - after the' winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent, for working expenses. Investors should apply at f once"; and investors only may know after the drawing . who the prize*take» are, by forwarding a stamped -envelope already addressed, thus insuring perfect faith and fidelity to all investors. These Drawings for £2000 are to take place *' every two months j this present one to close ... on 28th'February, and the following one to open on Ist March.
