Fourth Grand Drawing is now Open THE Three Preyinus Drawings were filled a week prior to the advertised date of closing.

The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there arc 160 large prizes against 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. 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, The large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the Horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3OOO is fairly proportioned into 240 Prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle possible, so as to give entire public satisfaction. This Fourth Grand Drawing for £3OOO 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.
