ircumstance 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.
