The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 programmes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are' in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an ln'veaior oi £2 the , chance* are only 8 to 1 against biin drawing a prize, an A ibe Head Prize ( or any otlier may be drawn by any j investor of 10s. Read this. — In Boaz's Grand Hamburg Drawiugs the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against, an investor of 108 drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or Cash Prizes 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 consultation ; and this Company would not 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 re T questing- the. company.' not on any account to make tbeir names public. This. Sixth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight, gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. . . .
