Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one $1,000,000 Gold ($20) ticket, consider buying 2x 100X 2nd Edition ($10). This combination delivers $17.82 in expected value compared to $14.64 for the single ticket — a 21.7% improvement. It also gives you a 48.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 31.3% with the single ticket.
