The Times and Potowmack Packet. November 25, 1789.
Five years before in September 1784 in the Maryland Gazette there was an advertisement for the George Town Academy lottery:
Scheme of a lottery for raising $1,400 to be applied to the purchasing a house for the use of the George Town Academy.
The right education of youth is an object of such vast importance of freedom and happiness that there needs no strength of reasoning to recommend the above scheme which is meant to promote it to the patronage and encouragement of a liberal public.
Tickets may be had from Messrs. Robert Peter, William Deakins, Jr., Bernard O'Neill, Henry Townsend, John P. Boucher, Benj. Stoddert, Robt. Philips, Sam'l Davidson, Brooke Beall, and Dr. Walter Smith at George Town;
