  I always have oddball ideas.  My newest idea is to buy 10 $10 tickets. And I was wondering, I know it is totally random; is it best to buy all 10 tickets from one store?; buy 1 ticket at 10 different stores in my little town; buy 1 ticket from each town/city? Also would it be better to buy tickets from a busy store or a tends to be slow store? Thank you.

  thank you.

  Well, I learned something a few weeks ago.  $10 tickets aren't the best tickets to buy in a large number.  I bought an entire roll of $10 tickets at odds of 1:2.3.  I saw 5 tickets back to back without a winner.  Be cautious when buying them.  The highest winner I got in a pack of $10 (remember I paid $300 for them) was one $30 winner.  I made back only $180 out of my $300. 

  As far as store... It doesn't matter.  Althought busy stores sell more winners they move a lot of tickets.  Your odds are the same either way you go.

  How are you going to win if you don't play?
