Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Play Oh! ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x Taste Of La ($3) + 1x Say It Louisiana ($2). This combination delivers $3.55 in expected value compared to $3.50 for the single ticket — a 1.3% improvement. It also gives you a 41.8% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.1% with the single ticket.
