Everyone realizes the risk is that if someone else wins you get half the pot and if three people do you get 1/3rd and so forth. Large lotteries tend to have large sales and are more likely to have split winnings.

Didn’t Voltaire do this?
stefan mandel won a bunch of jackpots in australia and the us during the 1970s and 80s doing the same thing, buying all the numbers.
Great, even the lottery is P2W
My coworkers and I had a fun lunch calculating minimum purchase amounts to guarantee or significantly increase winning chances for some smaller local lotteries. There’s a surprising amount of chances to do this especially if you pool your money and don’t have to wait for receipts to be printed. There was one local lottery for ~11m and would only require ~600k to be most likely to win based on the average ticket sales of that specific one.
They won $96ish million, took the lump payout of $57 million.
Wonder what they're gonna do with their $23 million.
Hookers and blow
