What is the better bet?

I didn't want to derail the other current Lotto thread so have started this thread to ask . . . What is the better bet?


One attempt at winning with 3,838,380 to one odds for the attempt, or ten attempts at winning with 38,383,800 to one odds for each attempt?


Or are they both the same?
