The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is th»t a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbize, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a urge Pbize, as there are 220 lAßas 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 Pbize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. Read this Cabebtcly.—En J}oaz's Grand 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 10s each, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives 133 nominations, so I hut the odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawing a horse. Now I ake the Cash Phizes drawn at the same time, and calculate tbe odds ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Pbizs. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced fcfc each Drawing of the Cabh Pbizes, which give 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 have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. This Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take placj under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
