Math peeps: Does doing this give you a mathematical edge?

You go to the grocery store to buy lotto scratch cards. You have $20 to spend. The scratch cards are $2 each. The display contains a selection of 10 different 'games' each costing $2 with the same odds of winning per ticket...

Do you chose one each of scratch cards 1 thru 10 in the display, or chose one of the scratch cards at random and purchase 10 in a row of that particular one?

Does buying 10 the same in a strip actually increase winning odds over purchasing 10 different games from the display, or this just an old wives tale?
