The four Prizes of 20,0001. being fixed for an early period of the drawing, when the firil 3000 Tickets will receive 01. each, betides any other Prize that may be drawn to them, has induced many to purchafe Tickets, in order to keep them for the &ft two or three days, ' when, if drawn, they could not fail to be Prizes; but if undrawn, they would fell for as much as they coll.
