Theoretically, it's possible. You have to take into account the sheer volume of tickets you'd have to buy, and the people who buy the tickets would have to fill out the 5-sheet thing for each 5 numbers you buy. That's 35,200,000 $5 purchases. Since you have to pay in cash, where are all these 5 dollar bills coming from? Plus there's no guarantee someone else won't also win, and there goes your "investment".
