Tim,
As has been said before, "Lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math."
In the Illinois Lotto version (that was going to end forever all of
our problems with funding education), mathematically speaking the best
way to increase your winnings is to play the same number twice so you
will get 2/x of the winnings rather than 1/(x-1). If that doesn't cure
you...
