GETTING FORTUNES BY LOTTERY


A PennsyIsania paper has taken
some pains for the purpose Of showing
how near man may come to drawing
q prize by buying lottery ticket
First, il saws. there are upwards Of Sc.
venty numbers used in making out the
tickets, and there are three number,
on each ticket; now the question is,
how many different tickets can be
made; II but len figures we're used,
instead of seventy. there could be is
sued S.626. 800 tickets, each different
frm-the other; and If twelve figures
were used, instead Of seventy. there
could be issued 479, GOO. 500 tickets; So
man, in the first instance. where there
are ten numbers. would stand one chance
out Of s. .628. .800chsnces. aud in the last
instance. where there are iwelve num-
bers 10 change by. he would stand but
one chance out Of 479. 900. 600. aud IL
the whole seventy figures. be used, aud
if as many different tickets were issu-
ed as could be formed By the permuta-
tion Of these numbers. il is probable
that there would be enough 10 more
than carpet the whole territory of the
United States. of course very few are
printed. compared to what might be
printed. yetthere isjust as good chance
Of the prize to fall to an imprinted tick
etas printed one. If il does so, as no
one can claim the money, it remains
with those making the lottery. There
are. in such a case. thousands Of chances
in favor Of the lottery makers. Again,
if lotteries were fairly conducted there
would be hundreds of thousands each
month receiving fortune by the high
prizes alone and each year there could
be named from one thousand to ten
thousand persons thus favored by for
tune. In this We have only been
speaking of one single prize in each
lottery, and as there are many impor-
tant ones in each. the fortunate persons
ought greatly to exceed ten thousand
annually. Yet, how seldom do you
hear that even a 81 900 prize is drawn:
Still all the prizes of every lottery
fall ON some one at each drawing.
Who gets themi Where do the fa-
vored ones live and how does il hap
pen that their names are not paraded
before the public each week ? II is
simply because no Que holds ticket
entitled to the prize. and Of course the
money remains with the maker Of the
lottery.
