Instead of buying one Arizona Treasure Hunt ($3) ticket, consider buying 1x Frida Kahlo® Viva La Vida ($2) + 1x 10X The Cash ($1). This combination delivers $1.81 in expected value compared to $1.79 for the single ticket — a 1.5% improvement. It also gives you a 40.8% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.3% with the single ticket.
