Mathematically speaking, the difference between buying 1 ticket
and 5 tickets is not worth the extra $8.
(Of course, mathematically speaking, the ROI on even one ticket is
so close to zero that no statistician would consider it worth buying
even one.)
But if it makes you happy, go ahead and buy more. My husband does.
We don't buy tickets very often; just often enough to give our
"what I'd do with the money" fantasies a little more immediacy.
