I mentioned to a colleague that I’d bought two lottery tickets for last weeks Euromillions draw instead of my usual 1 to double my chance at winning. He said “Yeah, that’s not how it works.” I’m sure he is right – but why?
It *absolutely does* double your chances of getting a winning ticket! Your problem is that two times “next to no chance in hell of winning” still gets you “next to no chance in hell of winning.”
