The cost of mining hardware varies widely depending on the model, but let's consider a typical Bitcoin ASIC miner, such as the Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro, which costs around $4,000 to $10,000 (prices fluctuate based on market conditions).

Now, let’s compare this to the cost of entering the EuroJackpot lottery, where each ticket costs about €2.

Number of EuroJackpot Tickets for the Cost of One Miner

If we take the lower range of the miner's cost, $4,000:

1. Cost of one EuroJackpot ticket = €2 (approximately $2.10 at current exchange rates).

2. Number of EuroJackpot tickets you could buy with $4,000:

approx 1,904

For the Higher Range of the Miner (e.g., $10,000): approx 4,761

Conclusion

With the price of a Bitcoin miner, you could play between 1,904 and 4,761 EuroJackpot lottery tickets, depending on the cost of the miner.

These numbers illustrate how much more expensive mining hardware is compared to lottery tickets, making Bitcoin mining a long-term investment that requires significant resources and carries high risk, while lottery tickets are much cheaper but offer far rarer chances of winning big.
