@Joe_0237 >if this were not the case the lottery would loose money. The more you buy the worse you loose.
Indeed.

I'd just interject for a moment, the correct spelling is "lose" - loose is where something isn't screwed tightly for example.

>having one ticket is still mathematically more likely to win than having no ticket.
Maybe, but having one ticket is so close to 0 that it's hard to tell the difference.

The only reason why anyone wins a lottery is the forcing effect that someone usually needs to win (in certain lotteries where there doesn't have to be a winner, it's fairly common for everyone to lose the jackpot multiple times until finally someone wins).
