Should I buy 2 tickets to one raffle, or 1 ticket each for 2 different raffles to have better chance to win?

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Hi, I’ve found some answers while searching the internet to this question, but they’ve been too mathematical or not exactly related to this specific question.

I have the opportunity to buy tickets in 2 different raffles for a car I’d love to have. The tickets are expensive, so I want to only buy 2 tickets.

The raffles each will only sell a maximum of 1,000 tickets. Both still have tickets for sale, but I don’t know how many they have sold – just less than 1,000.

Because of the time frame, both raffles will probably not meet their goal of 1,000 tickets sold – so each raffle will likely have different amounts of tickets sold. Example: 1 raffle sold 893 tickets, the other 980 tickets – so different odds.

Would I have a better chance of winning one of these raffles if I either 1) bought 1 ticket to each; or 2) bought 2 tickets for one.

I only want to buy 2 tickets total.

Thanks to you math heads out there – please make it simple – at least your conclusion. :-)
