Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Hi or Lo ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Scratch and Match ($2) + 1x Quick $25's ($1). This combination delivers $3.87 in expected value compared to $3.30 for the single ticket — a 17.3% improvement. It also gives you a 53.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.0% with the single ticket.
