LoTTERIEs-IheIr Chhnces.-A palnSl0king
writer in the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and SEN
mel, on public grounds, has undertaken to inves.
tigate some of the magnificent schemes" which
are1daily thrust before the public. He has un.
tlertaken to examine some of them indetail and
the following are his deductions: There are $40
prizes, of which 4s2 are direct, % approximate,
and6,O0 contingent. There are &C, 600 numbers.
The chance of drawing direct prize is 1872 to
10000, or as one to one hundred and three. Ia
king the approximate with these, the chance is
90 to 10000, or us one to ninety eight The
chance of drawing twenty dollar prize is one to
ten. The odds, twill be seen, are enormous. But
further inspection will make the illustration Of
the subject even more impressive. The $4,000
numbers arc the representatives of $500, 00o.-
Now, the prizes to be drawn make 1920, 600, and
if any one were to buy all the tickets, he would
lose by the operation the handsome sum of
$4,000, Besides, all the tickets are not sold;
the proprictors have still further advantages
Their, side of the game is a sure one, aud where
they draw one of these lotteries every week,
were they to sell all the tickets, nine millions of
dollars would annually fall into the hands Of the
managers.
