Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one $100,000 Jackpot ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Jefferson ($2) + 1x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1). This combination delivers $4.40 in expected value compared to $3.43 for the single ticket — a 28.5% improvement. It also gives you a 50.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.2% with the single ticket.
