4     of    100          are     400
5     of     50          are     250

1655 Prizes, amounting to          9000 Dollars.
3345 Blanks.
——­
5000 Tickets, at Two Dollars each 10000
To be paid in Prizes,      9000
——­
1000 Dollars.

Remains to be applied for the Purpose aforesaid.

Two Blanks only to one PRIZE.

THE Bridge aforesaid is already built, and upon a Settlement of the Accounts, and Demands relative thereto, the Managers of the former Lottery for that Purpose, were found to be greatly in Debt:  The Charges of building the Bridge, and prosecuting the Lottery, amounting to much more than what was allowed to be raised by the former Act of the General Court—­therefore the present Lottery is allowed.

AND since the said Bridge so well answers the Expectation of the Public, and the Travelling that Way thereby is rendered much more easy and pleasant; the Managers doubt not there will be a great Demand of the Tickets, from a Principle of encouraging and promoting a Work of such general Utility, if there were no other Inducement.  But when they consider how much this Scheme is calculated in Favour of the Adventurers, there being many Prizes of great Value, and but two Blanks to a Prize; they doubt not of a very speedy Sale of the Tickets.

Tickets purchas’d at Boston, if fortunate, will be paid off there.  Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place of Drawing; and as soon as finished, the Prizes will be published in the Boston Gazette and Country Journal. Gold as well as Silver will be received for Tickets; and the Prizes paid off accordingly.  Prizes not demanded in Twelve Months after Drawing, will be considered as given to the common Stock for building and maintaining the said Bridge, and will be so applied.

Tickets are to be Sold by the Managers in Newbury, by
Ebenezer Storer, Esq., and Son; Mr. Timothy Newell; William
& James Jackson, and the Printers hereof in Boston.
