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?

He’s wrong, you are right. As long as the entries on each ticket are unique.
If the lottery was drawing a single number between 1 and 10, and each ticket lets you pick 1 number.
1 ticket would give you a 1 in 10 chances of winning.
2 unique tickets would give you 2 in 10 chances of winning.
Wow, some of the examples others have used are ridiculously complicated…and wrong, lol!
