in the market at a considerable advance: the vain hope of
gaining some of the great prizes is the cause of this demand.
In order to have a better chance for some of the large
prizes, some people purchase several tickets, and others
small shares in a still greater number. There is not,
however, a more certain proposition in mathematics, than that
the more tickets you adventure upon, the more likely you are
to be a loser. Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery
and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your
tickets, the nearer you approach to this certainty.

The above is surely a just account of the nature and
principles of a Lottery; yet it does not destroy the fact,
that, distributed as the tickets always are among thousands,
there must be some gainers, and that, in spite of
mathematics, there is a lucky number, which must draw the
capital prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery (without any
deduction) of 12000 dollars. Both the _Historical Dictionary_
and Lottery _Tickets_ may be had at Cushing & Appleton's old
stand, one door west of Central Building;--where BANK BILLS
are exchanged.
