At what point is it worthwhile to just buy one of each possibility? Side note, looking for an investor to invest a few hundred million. Gaurenteed payout. Lol obviously a duplicate winner would mess that over, but cool concept.
If there are a few winners, you lose

buying one of each would cost approximately $604 million
So if there was a guarantee that there was only one winner, which is obviously not possible, and you didn't take the lump sum, it would be quite a profitable investment. Not sure if its possible to print that many tickets though

To coordinate something like that at this point is impossible

Any binding contracts being signed so you don't walk off with our money and our tickets?

In a world with no income tax, you show positive expected value up until ~260 million other entries. In our world, you're garunteed to lose.
Risk is opportunity
