I use a sophisticated formula predicated on how many squirrels I can shoot out of my walnut trees from my office window in a week and how many shots it takes to do it.

I don't recommend this system for city folks.

Heck I'm even cheaper, I just use a computer program I wrote with a RNG that can be set for any pool size that checks the combination picked with previous drawings to see what it has done previously. When I really want to be cheap and play only a minimum amount of combinations, it can make sure none of the numbers are used more than once or twice or what ever else I choose. I don't even have to waste money on cards or time cutting up a piece of paper and writing numbers on the pieces.

I guess I'm too cheap cheap to spend any money on anything. I'd just cut up 75 pieces of paper, number them, put them in a bowl, and start drawing.

Most toy stores sell Bingo games that include a tumbler to mix the 75 balls which seem much easier than trying to make a deck of 52 into more numbers..

Does the applied mathematical formula here owe anything to the Si Stebbins Card Stack

Tarot cards have 78, kill 2 birds with one stone.

Do a number pick, read your Tarot, than decide if you really need to play.

I have 59 pennies that I wrapped in masking tape and numbered. I use them occasionally, especially when I buy the tics for the work pool. I use them mostly when I want to play as many numbers as I can without repeats. I haven't gotten around to adding more to get 75. Not sure I ever will. QP's probably would work just as well when you consider all the combinations to choose from.
