> If you have more money you can buy more tickets which leads to higher—or even certain—odds.

I don't think there are any lotteries with that feature. You can guarantee that you win, but you still won't have certain odds because the payout isn't guaranteed.

It’s in the link I posted.

  • Did you try reading the only other sentence in my comment?

    • No need to get upset. I replied earnestly, I thought you might’ve skipped it.

      The point I was making is that with more money you increase your chances to win. The fact that you may have to split the winnings isn’t relevant, you still won. I was explicitly responding to the “the lottery doesn't care about your current circumstance and everyone has an equal (equally small) chance” remark.
