Tke grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, and the chances are in favour of the investor drawing a large prize, a 9 there are 220 large prizes to 100 small oneß. To an investor ot £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. Read this Oarefullt. — In Boaz'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 eacb, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives .133 nominations, so that the odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawing a horse. Now take tbe Cash Prizes drawn at the same time, and calculate the odds ; you will find in each of tbe Ca-h awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Prize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Cash Prizes, which gives 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 Qf 105. , , , This Fifth 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 alter the drawing.
