Harvard College appears to have seen the "misery of adventurers drawing
blanks which were worth nothing," and remedied the matter in 1811,
according to the following advertisement from the "Salem Gazette."

Look on this!

THE serious evil which has fallen upon a great many
adventurers, by purchasing Tickets in former lotteries, and
drawing blanks which were worth nothing; appears now to be
remedied.--The managers of the Fifth Class of Harvard College
Lottery, have in their wisdom taken the misery of this evil
into consideration and have given us a scheme preferable to
any former one; by which it seems that from 20,000 to 50,000
dollars will be distributed among persons whose tickets are
drawn blanks in this lottery, which commences drawing in a
few days; and the greater part of the Tickets are now sold.
