The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbizb, and the chances' are in favor of the investor drawing a LA.BQH Pbizb, as there are 220 i-abgb Phizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Pbizb or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Rbad This.—ln Boat'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 Morse or Cash Prize in any of the Morse Consultations. The marbles are replaced for each Drawing of the Cash PfilZßfl, which give the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any harse consultations. This Eleventh Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be for* warded immediately after tbe drawing.
