John Evelyn's Diary has this little episode about lotteries, too:

To London to see the event of the lottery which his Majesty had
permitted Sir Arthur Slingsby to set up for one day in the Banqueting
House at White-hall. I gaining only a trifle, as well as did the
King, Queene-consort and Queene-mother for neere 30 lotts; which was
thought to be contrived very unhandsomely by the master of it, who
was, in truth, a meer shark.
