GOOD FORTUNE IN THE LOTTERY
REALIZED.
Boston, May 12, 1791.
ON Monday laſt, Meſſrs. Edward Eſty and Oliver Johnſon, of Weſtmoreland in the State of New-hampſhire, produced the ticket No. 6052, which drew the higheſt prize (TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS) in the Semi-annual Lottery, to Mr. JOHN KNEELAND, (the Manager who ſigned that number, and whoſe tickets have been remarkable for drawing the higheſt prizes) who gave them a check on the Bank for their money, which they received the next day.
A circumſtance relating to the purchaſe of this ticket may be worth relating. The owners of it were at Charleſtown, late on the Saturday evening preceding the drawing of the lottery, and had mounted their horſes to go on their way home, before they recollected wanting a ticket. Mr. Bridge (who ſold tickets in Charleſtown) happened to be then up, at his houſe—and went to his ſtore, in the dark, and from his deſk took the fortunate number, and sold it to the above fortunate perſons.
