As the compiler of these records, the amount is not a typo. <g> There were two types of lots parceled out in the 1832 Lottery. There was a 'land' lot that was 160 acres. There was a 'gold' lot that was 40 acres. The 'gold' lots were in the belt where gold was known to be. Those lots brought prices of $10 to many thousands. I do not remember the particular lot that you mention, but many of these lots were sold because they 'thought' there might be gold on them. A. A. (or Albert Alexander) Winn bought and sold many lots in Cherokee County Georgia. He must have been the rich Winn I keep hearing about. <g> Mine were the poor ones. Or at least by time it got down to me, all the funds had been depleated. I had an ancestor who sopposedly owned a gold mine in Cherokee County. Records show that my ancestors did hold and sell property that later maps show a mine on the property. This ancestor was Thomas Marion Wynn. Who I believe was the son of Thomas and Mary Echols Wynn of Wilkes County Georgia. Thanks for mentioning my books, and hope that they have helped you in your search.
