Instead of buying one MORE MONEY ($5) ticket, consider buying 5x INSTANT TAKE 5 ($1). This combination delivers $4.66 in expected value compared to $2.85 for the single ticket — a 63.4% improvement. It also gives you a 69.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 22.6% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
