Instead of buying one Electric 50s ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Blowout Bonanza ($2) + 1x It's Intermission Time! ($1). This combination delivers $3.66 in expected value compared to $3.51 for the single ticket — a 4.3% improvement. It also gives you a 65.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.5% with the single ticket.
