The lottery is split between everyone who holds the winning tickets. If you own two winning tickets and no one else does, the second ticket would essentially be a waste.

rc: this question clearly stated that there was no one else to split it with.

- however, if there were other winners with those numbers, you would get 2 portions instead of just one.

Its the same as playing bingo. if you have two winning cards and you are the only winner, you win the total game prize and is not doubled.

Hold on there Babalooie...the second ticket is definitely a waste to buy...but if you've already bought it you better hold onto it because then it's definitely not a waste. The lottery knows there are two winning tickets so you'd better produce both or you only get half.

- The lottery may know there are 2 winning tickets, but if only one of them claims the prize then the full jackpot will be awarded to that ticketholder. So whether the holder destroys the second ticket or claims on both tickets it makes no material difference; he will receive the whole jackpot in either case, it is just a question whether it comes in one big cheque or two half-size cheques.

- Not in the US. If only one winner claims the prize and there are two - then the remaining winnings go back to the state.
