If you are going to enter a lottery, it makes sense to buy the cheapest possible ticket and enter as infrequently as possible.<p>Why? Because there&#x27;s no rational basis for entering a lottery. It relies entirely on magical thinking. You are effectively polling for the existence of a <i>personal luck deity</i>. There is no need to use a complicated, expensive system for this.<p>A single $1 ticket, purchased annually, will suffice (this is available in Australia).<p>In the infinitesimal chance that the magical thinkers are correct, this single purchase will be sufficient for your <i>personal luck deity</i> to respond with the appropriate riches.
