Buying More Tickets Does Not Increase Your Odds.
Odds are express by a ratio of losing chances to winning chances so for every extra ticket you buy, the chances of losing becomes slightly less and the chances of winning slightly increases. In the example Floyd gave buying 46 tickets each with a different mega number, the odds of each ticket are 3,819,815 to 1.
