Inclusion probabilities — they always sum to the expected sample size

Consider a population of 50 units, {1,2,3,…,50}\{1,2,3,\dots,50\} and suppose that 50 possible samples are listed as {1}\{1\}, {1,2}\{1,2\}, {1,2,3}\{1,2,3\}, …, {1,2,3,…,50}\{1,2,3,\dots,50\}. One of these samples is choosen at random. Let πi\pi_i be the probability that unit ii of the population is in the selected sample. Then which of the following is necessarily true?
