The honest part
Buying more tickets improves your odds only in a straight line: 100 tickets are exactly 100 times better than 1 — and still leave you with about a 3.42e-5% chance. No strategy, pattern or past result changes which combination comes up. Covering every Powerball combination would cost $584,402,676.
