Total annual profits. ..........sl3, 232, 800
This is the estimated clear profit OF
the comapny annually, as the daily
drawings held are expected to, and I'M
doubleday do, pay all expenses of the
company.
1.-The daily drawings held each day at
p. NJ. are even more perniclous in their
effects than the regular lottery draw
ings. The mode of conducting these Is
as follows:
'Seventy-eigh numbers from | to IS
are placed in wheel, each number en-
closed in tube. Out of this number
thirteen are drawn by blindfolded
boy, and the numbers are entered on a
black board in the order in which drawn.
The tickets for this drawing are sold at
% cents each for one-fourth ticket, and
the purchaser is permitted to select and
have entered upon the ticket when
purchased any three of the numbers
from to rs. Ii the first three num-
beers drawn from the wheel correspond
with the three number on the ticket
and are drawn in the order in which
they appear on the ticket, prize OF
50. 900 is paid something that has never
vet happened in the history of the COM
pany and would not likely happen II
conducted for tho next hundred years.
If, however, of the thirteen numbers
drawn out of the wheel three of them
happen to correspond with the three
numbers on our ticket, aprize OF about
1886 is given. BY paying an extra 20 cts.
on ticket you can put what is called a
gig and saddle on it, and then in the
event that two of the numbers on your
| ticket correspond with any two of the
| thirteen numbers drawn from the wheel
prize of 81 45 is paid There are sun
dry other ways of betting on this
scheme, but these are the most common
because the most simple.
'By mathematical calculation it is

prize is one in 81, 625, and when you win
it, You only get 81, 275. 40 for 81, as
against Sl5, 900 for 81 in the monthly,
with chance of one in 100, 900.
