If someone buys a ticket in a lottery and that ticket wins another ticket (in the same lottery), does the recipient have two chances at winning the jackpot or one?

Does a second chance ticket have any value?

That depends on if the new ticket is for the same drawing, and how the drawing is determined. If it is a match the winning numbers game then you have another chance to win, but your odds stay exactly the same. There is also the event called "second chance drawing", if thats what you mean then The second chance is usually a raffle for a much smaller prize, but fewer people tend to send the ticket back for the second chance drawing. So the chance of winning the second chance drawing is much higher than winning the original jackpot. Usually the ticket must be mailed in to the lottery office to be entered into the raffle.
