Presuming this is a numbers lottery, there’s a special exception- in a numbers lottery, it’s possible for multiple tickets to win, in which case the jackpot is split equally among the winning tickets.
If one of your tickets has the winning number but another person also has the winning number, you only get half the jackpot.
BUT, if you buy all 10 tickets with the same number and there is only one other winner so you take (10/11) * 100% of the jackpot.
If no one else wins, you would take all the jackpot regardless and the other 9 tickets are worthless.
The only reason to put down the same number on multiple tickets would be if you KNEW the lottery outcome ahead of time (cheating) and suspected someone else might also win and you’d take more of a share. This would be very apparent that it is SUPER suspect behavior if you win. Because unless you were cheating and knew this number would win, statistically it is a loss to do this.
