Delaware State Lotteries Letter, 1860 February 1
This letter from the Smallwood and Company on behalf of the Delaware state Lotteries is a promotional offering for a “grand scheme,” in which potential lottery players may take advantage of a new ticket bundle sale. The letter makes specific note of a special deal in which lottery players can purchase a bundle of 26 tickets for only $20.00 at a value of $32.50. The letter goes on to guarantee the success of the bundle stating that if the tickets should fail to win the lowest prize amount, that another ticket bundle will be shipped to the buyer. The “grand capital,” that players may win for their risk is a sum of forty thousand dollars.
