All others with three of the drawn numbers on, (being 110) each 300
Those 66 tickets having on them the 1st and 2d drawn numbers, each 100 Those 66 tickets having on them the 2d and 3d, each 80 Those 66 tickets having on them the 3d and 4th, each 50 Those 66 tickets having on them the 4th and 5th, each 40 Those 132 tickets having on them the 5th and 6th, or 6th and 7th, each 30 All others with two of the drawn numbers on, (being 3960,) each 20 And all tickets having one, only, of the drawn numbers on, each,

Now, let us spend a few moments in examining this bill, and we shall see how much truth there is in it.  It says, that the ticket having on it the three first drawn numbers will be entitled to the capital prize of $30,000.  Now, in the whole scheme before us, there is no such ticket.  The combination, 20, 51, 61, is not to be found in this arrangement.  Consequently, there was no ticket whose numbers entitled it to this prize.  Next, the bill says, the ticket having the fourth, fifth, and sixth drawn numbers, which would have been 24, 74, 77, would be entitled to a prize of $10,000.  There is no such ticket in the combination.  Consequently this also is false.  Now, it is evident that the dealers, in publishing this bill, mean to impress the public with the idea, that tickets, containing the necessary numbers to draw these prizes, are in the lottery, and that somebody must, of course, draw them; but it is all false, and a very little investigation will convince any one, that a greater system of deception can hardly exist.  Bear in mind, that the bill says these prizes were drawn.  The third prize was $5,000, and the ticket which contained the seventh, eighth, and ninth numbers was to draw this prize.  These numbers are 36, 46, 69.  There is no such combination
