hi, ok, you have jackpot reach crazy level, and you want to spent $50 on tickets. random tickets issued by corporation we will skip from this discussion.
to sit and fill 50 own tickets is quite boring. to use full wheel like 6-from-8 or 6-from-9 (lotto649 game) not very efficient. use abbreviated wheel fitting budget - better idea. using "keyed" system, when you lock some numbers and make combo with other numbers is another way. take any game, 3 numbers not that hard to guess sooner or later, so if you "fix" 3 numbers, all you need to match another 2-3-4 numbers depends on lottery (MM&PB, lotto649, lottomax). so combo 3-from-3 + 2-from-10 will cost $45. if you create pool of co-workers and friends, you can play for example 2-from-20, cost only $190, and wait for 3 numbers to come. once they come, 2-from-20 give you good chance to have a second prize in MM/PB $1,000,000. another example - sport lotteries, where all events on ticket has to be correct. to guess 6 gamers in proline quite hard, but make combo 3-from-4 + 3-from-4 cost only $16, while giving you a chance to have 1 wrong game in each group and still cash money. can be different variations of play - 2-from-3 + 2-from-3+1-from-5 for $45. depends how close you can hit 3-from-5, 2-from-4, etc, you can use this for any game, including keno, where repeated numbers very common. hth, prtt
