Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Money Train ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Jefferson ($2) + 1x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1). This combination delivers $4.40 in expected value compared to $3.49 for the single ticket — a 26.2% improvement. It also gives you a 50.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 25.7% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
