Winning with Just One Lottery Ticket? Yes, You Can!

[00:01] all are having a great day. I'm going to do a challenge today. I've not done one in a while, but I was at the Murphy Express last week. I was cashing in some "How'd you do?" I said, "I did pretty good." He goes, "You know, I never win

[00:13] on lottery tickets, but of course, I only ever buy one ticket." I said, "You seemed a little skeptical. And I thought, you know what? That sounds like a really good challenge. So, today, I'm going to 10 different stores and buying

[00:25] a single $20 ticket from each store. So, a $200 session. Uh odds on $20 tickets should be able to get at least two wins out of 10. Hopefully, we do better.

[00:37] Hopefully, not worse. Uh I'm actually on 1187 right now. I'm headed towards Crowley. I'm going to stop at the Kroger grocery store to cash that video, go check it out. Generally, if I get a big win, I'll stop at a

[00:50] because they have a lot of cash on hand. So, we'll make that our first stop. Store number one. Can you give me one number six when you're done? One number number six when you're done? One number six? Yeah.

[01:03] How you doing? Uh could I get one number 27?

[02:34] boost to get us through the rest of this challenge. This is going to be these tickets back and see how we do. All right, I am back. Hopefully, I did not pick 10 duds. Uh but, let's stay positive and find a nice big win. So, I

[18:37] always fun to me to see math in action and this is what happened today. This buy a single ticket and get a win. Now, whether or not it's break even, better jackpot, that's when the luck comes into play. But when we look at these tickets,

[18:50] we look at overall odds and that's exactly what they mean, overall. Now, on pertain to this particular game, in four that you'll get a win. And that's exactly what we did. We bought 10

[19:02] tickets and we got two wins. Not to say that you can't get back-to-back or back-to-back to wins or six losers in a row, it just means overall and that's of fun. Well, I hope you found this informative, and I hope you enjoyed this
