Why is a single 70% chance different to Ten 7% chances

Like. I know they are different and that one is less likely. But could someone explain this in a way that I can explain it to my partner? I know it is true but cannot remember anything about why and how to explain my point.

Think of it like raffle tickets.

In the first scenario, there are 100 raffle tickets and you own 70 of them.

In the second scenario, there are ten individual raffles. Each raffle still has 100 tickets, of which you own 7. At the end of the day, you still have 70 tickets, but there are 1000 tickets total.
