Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one $1,000,000 BONUS WINS ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Bingo ($2) + 1x $10,000 SILVER STRIKE ($1). This combination delivers $4.95 in expected value compared to $3.54 for the single ticket — a 40.1% improvement. It also gives you a 53.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.8% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
