It was found that Mr. Sewall had one-tenth of ticket No. 40,789, which drew the sec ond capital prize of fl 00,000 in the com pany's drawing of January 15th. Mr, Sewall said: "I was asked incidentally by a friend to purchase n ticket in this drawing. I did so, paying one dollar for the same, and gave the matter no further thought until, to my great sur prise, I was notified that my ticket had drawn a prize. I received my money through the Adams Express company, five days after the date of the drawing. The $10,000 was handed me without question and without the slightest in convenience or annoyance to me. The one dollar which I paid for the ticket is the first and only money I have ever in vested in tho lottery." Mr. Sewall has already invested the proceeds of his lucky draw in Cook county (111.) bonds, an investment which is regarded as perfectly safe, and which will bring him a comfortable income.
