Problem Statement

In the Intergalactic Lottery, 77 numbers are drawn out of 5555. R2-D2 and C-3PO decide that they want to win this lottery, so they fill out lottery tickets separately such that for each possible draw one of them does have a winning ticket for that draw. Prove that one of them has 77 tickets with all different numbers.
