Default Re: Lottery at the +EV Point

One thing to remember when discussing whether or not playing a game with a large progressive jackpot is +EV is that at some point in time money will have a diminishing marginal utility for you.

$240 million is probably not 240 times more valuable to you than $1 million would be.

$240 million is not 240 million times better than one dollar. This will screw up your calculations.

(I didn't see that anyone already mentioned this concept, but I only skimmed.)
