I amazes me that people still don't understand probability and odds in very simple forms.

But 1 ticket. Save the rest for something else.
Buying 10 tickets instead of 1 ticket does increase your odds. Each ticket has the same odds but overall your chances improved.

But, This ^^^^, infinitesimal. Just buy one and hope. Dont spend "real" money on these odds.


Was in a gas station getting some water and these people who looked like they didn't have a ****ing nickel were buying $10-$20 worth of tickets.
