Odds of winning the Euro lottery are 1 in 139,838,160, but each ticket costs £2.50, so you'll need a jackpot of around £350m to get a +ROI, and you'll need to buy 140 million tickets to guarantee a profit.
Actually that's not quite right, there's tons of smaller prizes that add up. That said, it's a HUGE amount of work to sort the winning tickets from the losing ones, and to cash them in. It could take six months to find the winning ticket, and that's how long you've got to claim the prize.
Totally impractical. If a Russian has won it a dozen times, I'd call bullshit and say he cheated. No idea what the odds and prizes are for Russia's lottery, but it's just not happening.
