摘要翻译:
我们报告了一个关于彩票的新结果--一个资金充足的辛迪加有一个纯粹机械的策略,在一个不接受和不结转池的等概率彩票中获得10%~25%的预期收益。我们证明了辛迪加和其他参与者之间的博弈中的最优策略(纳什均衡)由每张彩票中的一张(“特朗普彩票”)下注组成,并将该结果推广到非等概率彩票中的比例彩票选择。该策略可以调整,以适应彩票税和结转池。这个策略的成功不需要“非理性”--它只需要一大群非辛迪加投注者各自独立地选择几张票。

英文摘要:
We report a new result on lotteries --- that a well-funded syndicate has a purely mechanical strategy to achieve expected returns of 10\% to 25\% in an equiprobable lottery with no take and no carryover pool. We prove that an optimal strategy (Nash equilibrium) in a game between the syndicate and other players consists of betting one of each ticket (the "trump ticket"), and extend that result to proportional ticket selection in non-equiprobable lotteries. The strategy can be adjusted to accommodate lottery taxes and carryover pools. No "irrationality" need be involved for the strategy to succeed --- it requires only that a large group of non-syndicate bettors each choose a few tickets independently.
