It pays per ticket. The reason to buy more than one is in case somebody else also wins. If you buy one ticket and somebody else wins, you get 50%. If you buy two, you get 66%.
But you’re right, it would definitely look bad. So you can’t buy 50. But I think you could buy two or three and just say that was your lucky ritual.
1 ticket because of sort of an inverse concept of bankroll management. There’s probably ways for them to claw back the money with a presumption of guilt rather than proof of guilt. Risking not getting any of the money is just extemely bad strategy
This is interesting. I was originally going to say as many as possible to reduce the amount of a split you would have to pay out, but then I though, jesus its 1.3 billion. Do I really need to fuck someone over for 1.2 billion when I could have 600 mil and NOT fuck someone over? How much do I really need?
Actually the lottery wants you to functionally buy duplicate tickets. As you probaly know there are additional non-jackpot prizes in the lottery (if you miss by one number for example, you get 20k). Most states offer an optional “megaplier” you can purchase that would give you a multiple (usually 2x natch) of these prizes. You are literally buying a duplicate ticket that is ineligible for the jackpot. A quick check of the distributed prizes suggests that around 20-25% of tickets take this option. I wouldn’t worry too much about your multiple ticket strategy raising eyebrows.
People love to talk shit about generation Z but i can fucking guarantee you that they are least horrible generation and that their parents are just as addicted to their stupid phones.
