1 ticket gets you in the game, any more tickets per game is a waste of money.
Not mathematically, and not if you have the disposable income for multiple tickets not to be a problem for you.

Agreed but practically...
What you have better luck with?
Your chances of winning an Academy Award are a relatively small 1 in 11,500, but that's still almost 4,000 times more likely than winning the lottery.
I mean... That's not going to happen...

Meanwhile, the odds of being eaten by a shark are around one in 3.7m, according to National Geographic. So, again, you’re far more likely to be eaten by a shark before you win the main prize.
So even if you buy 2 or 3 or 10 tickets you're more likely to be eaten by a shark. The stats may seem to get better but in real life terms, there is no difference. 1 ticket gets you in the game, any more tickets per game is a waste of money.
