In the lottery, you pick 5 different numbers from 1 to 56, & a sixth number from 1 to 46, which could be a duplicate of one of the first five. This works out to:
56C5 * 46 = 3819816 * 46 = 175,711,536
that's all it takes to buy every combination. if the payout after taxes is over the investment that GUARANTEES a win and a few other smaller payouts as well. so $640m is well sufficient with a lump sum payout of $374m to cover the $176m investment
the risk is in having to share it
when i say the odds of wining are 1 in 175,711,536 that means the odds of losing are 175,711,535 in 175,711,536. technically according to the laws of math, your chances of losing can only decrease the more tickets you buy.
