It's a moot question because there is no way that I would do it but .......
Just spent another£10 on tickets for the EuroMillions draw. I only do this when the jackpot gets silly big otherwise I don't gamble at all.
But it occurred to me that this was the third draw in a row that I had spent £10 and asked myself "what if it ran for ten draws before it was won" and I concluded that I would spend the lots of £10 (£100 in total) - I wouldn't chicken out before it was won.
I realised that in that time the jackpot has risen for £91M to £112M a significant increase but I would have been over the moon had I won the £91M.
This spurned my question
Would my chances of winning have been better is
And ignore the fact that we don't know how long it will run for before it is won.
Cheers,
Nigel

This spurned my question
Would my chances of winning have been better is
- Spent the whole £100 for 40 tickets on the first draw
- Spent £10 for 4 tickets in each of the ten draws
- Makes no difference, its the same
And ignore the fact that we don't know how long it will run for before it is won.
