Instead of buying one Ultimate Blowout ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x 20X the Cash ($5). This combination delivers $10.49 in expected value compared to $7.36 for the single ticket — a 42.5% improvement. It also gives you a 46.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 11.6% with the single ticket.
