Ways to stay anonymous:

1. Don't cash the ticket.  Instead, frame it with one of the numbers obscured, and hang it in your office. 
2. Give it to someone you can trust, like me to cash in.

What happens if one ticket wins 1M? Do you still need to pay maximum IRS deduction even thou its fourty people?
You pay tax on any winnings over $600.

Doesn't need to be for me.

Just a waste of yiddishe gelt. Buying 1 ticket or 40 tickets doesn't change the odds from being statistically insignificant and it shows a lack of emunah that would be most useful in a case like this.

it does however significantly increase the odds of winning a smaller prize.

Also These type of Lotteries are meant for entertainment.  in which case this has been very entertaining and for $2 thats a steal.

So now you're more likely to win back a $4 prize for which you'll give back 10 cents to everyone?

You would get the same dreams of grandeur with 1 ticket as with 40 tickets, except you saved $78 from being thrown away.
I'd argue your "odds" would be better if you donated the $78 difference to a worthy charity rather than state coffers and used $2 for a single ticket.

You do realize that a $100 prize is 1 in 15K, yes?
And that even if you win that that's a whopping $2.50 refund per person...

So it's logical to spend an extra $78 to have a 1 in 375 chance of making a $22 profit?

So it's logical
There is nothing logical about the lottery. It's about the dreams.......
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Do you guys really not get it or are you messing with me?

$2 buys the same dream that $80 buys. Nobody is playing PB to win the $4 or the $100 prize.

They say not to pick your own tickets like using birthdays and anneversaries and ect. Because  those numbers add up to 1-32 and the numbers range 1-69 and even though u might use numbers 32-69 by your year you were born, you would only use a big number once or twice saying its annerversary  or birthday .so the other 3 numbers your leaving out the chance for it to be 1-69 .
+1. Higher numbers have less of a chance of splitting pots because of human sentimentality.
