Calculate the average odds of winning the jackpot among those 10 lotteries, then compare those average odds with the odds of that specific lottery that you intend to spend 100 on (assuming you don't care about the jackpot prize value but only intend to win). If not all tickets cost the same, things get complicated. You can also just post the jackpot odds of those 10 lotteries and I or whoever reads this will do it for you.

No problem, one tip I like to stress is to count the number of digits that make up the lines you play.

In a 5-39 matrix around 75% of all draws will have either 5 or 6 different digits. This is a fact and

is a product of the matrix. If 75% of all lines in the matrix have 5 or 6 different digits than so will

the drawings +/- a small deviation normally less than 1%.

Example.

1-15-23-34-35 has 5 different digits 1-2-3-4-5

12-18-24-33-37 has 6 different digits 1-2-3-4-7-8

Playing one line for 10 games gives you the best cost to coverage ratio. A few years back I went

over this in great detail showing why it's so. The difference is very small so it's not really worth

basing your play on that alone. In a nutshell the more lines you play the better the overall odds.

If playing more than one line then go for as much coverage as your budget allows. One simple

method to do this is to play all the numbers in the fewest lines possible. A 5-39 can be covered... [ More ]

thanks, interesting, but a simpler answer would be nicer.

Hi

How can you work out which of these two situations give you better odds of winning the jackpot...

10 a time on 10 lotteries

or

100 on one lottery.

Is there a stats expert around :-)

So its the same bet, but one of the options gets you into 10 lotteries, but the other option gets 10 times more tickets on one lottery.
