Default Re: The lottery, The odds, and You

I had this thought once too josh. So I figured out how big the powerball lottery would have to get to be +EV if I assume I'm the only winner. I'm not gonna do the math right now but the answer was a couple HUNDRED BILLION. I don't think any lottery will ever be +EV.
