The venders of lottery tickets possess an immense advantage over the buyer, which is mostly in the extreme improbability of a prize of any considerable amount being drawn.  The numbers 1 to 78 are capable of making 76076 combinations on what I may term the increasing ratio—­that is, the second larger than the first, and the third larger than the second, in arithmetical progression; as, 5, 10, 15, &c.
