Can We Hit the Lotto Again?

[Redd]

Wouldn't we need to facor in the total investment return that one could obtain with their winnings as well? If I could lock $300 million at, say, 5% P.A., that's $15 million a year before any compounding. Over the winner's lifetime (at 5%, the winnings could double about 3 times in ~45 years?) the return would allow the principal to be much smaller (with these fudged numbers, about 1/8th) and still be +EV.
