I like to think of it as division: you have: very_small_chance / 0.0 = infinity ( I KNOW it’s not infinity, it’s undefined); so 1 ticket is infinitely better than no ticket.
Similarly, I think of the 2nd ticket as the most cost-effective way to double your odds. Diminishing returns after that…
Maybe I’m saying the same thing as you?
