yet another retard uses +EV in a -EV fashion....

maybe I'm just not getting the concept...
posted odds from Mega-Millions website:
odds of hitting 5 numbers +1 mega-ball (Jackpot) = 1 in 175,711,536
current jackpot: 200,000,000 ++
If you were to purchase 1 ticket, for $1, then it is +EV, no?
If you are splitting shares like the OP, then it isn't?
Either way, the implied odds are worth the gamboool.

taxes make it -EV?
