• Answer:

  Seriously? The best way to cut your losses is to buy the least amount of tickets possible. You buy zero tickets, you get zero losses. Buy one ticket, and you only lose $1. You want to spend $35 so you'll have an approximately 50/50 shot of winning a prize, when most likely that prize is $7 or less, go right ahead. If you want to take a shot at the huge dollars, that's your option, but don't pretend there is a "cut your losses" strategy, that's not what the powerball is for.
