Nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in N.Z., and the system that will be carried out in this and future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Morse Consultations , as people who have 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, subscribed by 40U0 Members at 10a. each. The various Money Prizes will be Distributed as follows :—1 £300 Prize, 1 £150 Prize, 1 £100 Prize, 2 £50 Prizes, 5 £20 Prizes, 100 £10 Prizes, 50 £5 Prizes. The grand principle of this and future drawings, will be that any investor purchasing 25 Tickets must secure a prize—ia fact, guaranteed one, us a prize will be drawn from the 160 Prizes to ever/ number up to the 4000. Any investor of £1, the chances will be only 12 to 1 against him, and any investor of £2 it will only be 6 to 1 against him getting a Prize, and the head pbizb or any other may drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will bo conducted on the fairest, principle possible, and investors will find it to their advantage to (peculate a trifle in this drawing in preference to any of the numerous horse coniultations, 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 immediate supervision of six gentlemen, and two youths will draw the Numbers and Prizes, and the Prizes will ail be paid over within 24 hours after the drawing, or immediately after the winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent, for working expenses. Investors should apply at once; and investors only may know after the drawing who the prize-takers 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 ; this present ogp to close on 28th February, and the following ono to open on Ist March. Prizes paid over within 24 hours after drawing. One Prize must come to every 25 Tickets. Notice. —Name and Address of applicant must be plainly written. Country Cheques marked correct by Bank, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange.
