Instead of buying one Lucky Numbers ($5) ticket, consider buying 5x $10,000 GOLD RUSH MULTIPLIER ($1). This combination delivers $3.97 in expected value compared to $3.34 for the single ticket — a 18.8% improvement. It also gives you a 70.2% chance of winning at least one prize versus 25.1% with the single ticket.
