| − | Apparently an adaptation of a French work ''[[Les Billets de Loterie]]'' by an anonymous author. However, there is a suggestion by Loos[https://books.google.co.za/books?id=SLIEAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA84&lpg=PA84&dq=Les+billets+de+loterie+une+comedie+en+deux+actes&source=bl&ots=-cCzrsQkVQ&sig=r6ZfS0xDmiRk4zTvGWgO5ymCdHw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=mchSVcikK4KzUY7ageAM&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Les%20billets%20de%20loterie%20une%20comedie%20en%20deux%20actes&f=false] that the French work may in its turn have been based on a German play.
