Instead of buying one CASHWORD GOLD ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x MONEY MADNESS ($5). This combination delivers $6.92 in expected value compared to $5.70 for the single ticket — a 21.3% improvement. It also gives you a 41.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.2% with the single ticket.
