The statement that the Lottery Committee was set up for the town planning of Calcutta is correct. The Lottery Committee was established in 1817 to oversee the lottery system for financing the development and town planning of Calcutta (now Kolkata).

The statement that it was chaired by Lord Lottery is incorrect. The committee was not chaired by someone referred to as "Lord Lottery." The Lottery Committee was chaired by Lord Hastings, who was the Governor-General of India at that time.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only.
