Instead of buying one HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x $10,000 GOLD RUSH MULTIPLIER ($1). This combination delivers $1.60 in expected value compared to $1.28 for the single ticket — a 24.4% improvement. It also gives you a 38.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 22.9% with the single ticket.
