Default Re: The lottery, The odds, and You

Once again, this calculation is not too meaningful except for giving the upper bound on how much you'd pay for this ticket. To calculate how much you should pay for this ticket, you need to build your utility function and calculate the certainty equivalent. I'd be surprised if you found that CE>$0.1.
