I was a casino craps dealer, boxman, floorman, pitboss, and surveillance over a period of 7 years and we used to have a saying.

The dice don't have a memory.

But you can tell your friend that with each ticket they buy that has different numbers, thier odds increase slightly. Actually they'd double if they purchased 2 tickets instead of 1, but they'd still have a 1 in a million shot if they were lucky.
