Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Lincoln ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Blowout Bonanza ($2) + 1x It's Intermission Time! ($1). This combination delivers $3.66 in expected value compared to $3.52 for the single ticket — a 4.1% improvement. It also gives you a 65.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.2% with the single ticket.
