Do you agree with the saying "It only takes one to win" ?

Yup. Simple probability dictates that having more tickets means you have a greater chance of having a ticket number that you own be the one that’s pulled.

“It only takes one to win” is a marketing phrase used to get your donation into the raffle. Well, it’s also a true slogan. It does only take one raffle ticket to win, but that’s because of the nature of raffles. It’s stating the obvious in a way to make you excited.

Personally, I never participate in raffles. I’ll take one sure dollar over two maybe dollars anyday.

I have had my fair share of luck (THANK GOD) lately and I usually buy about Ten tickets and win something. I just can’t see how one ticket would suffice.

I knew a woman who used to win a ton of raffles with just one ticket in the pot. She had a trick though – she made her ticket feel different so that the puller would feel it, think “what the hell is this?” and pull hers out. She used to crumple them up then uncrumple them, paint on them then bend them to crack the paint, put fuzz on them… whatever she wanted.

It’s a true truism, which is a rare thing itself. Your disagreement isn’t with precisely what the saying says. Your saying is true too – they aren’t about the same thing.

“It only takes one to win.” – true
“Your chances are greater with more.” – true

@zaku great answer. I wanted some input because there are many ways to view this question

thanks

No someone has helped you along the way.

@gambit where you referring to me? I meant Thank GOD in like FINALLY I WIN SOMETHING :)

I thought it was “you can’t win if you don’t play.”? I refuse to gamble.

I gambled $10 and won $65. I’m all for winning. Losing sucks. Don’t lose.

I think Zaku summed things up nicely here.

@Emdean1 – hi Emdean1, I dindn’t read all of the question so I had a pretty lame answer. Sorry. (I hate when I do that).

Not in most scenarios, but sometimes, yes.
