‎First edition of Euler first work on the probability in lottery. He examines the Genoise Lottery, which was the first number lottery. As the name implies he asks for the probability that various sequences of numbers to be drawn.""In the lottery here considered 90 tickets are numbered consecutevily from 1-90, and 5 tickets are drawn at random. The question may be asked, what is the chance that two or moree consecutive numbers should occur in drawing ? Such a result is called a sequence"" thus, for example, if the numbers drawn are 4,5,6,27,28, there is a sequence of three and also of two. Euler considers the question generally."" (Todhnuter).‎
