Default Re: Lottery at the +EV Point

Yeah. This is a very good point actually.


Everyone goes hyper-spaz when the powerball passes $100-mil (the lump pay-out....not the announced figure) as if playing it when you would ONLY win $40-mil is somehow a waste of time.


To me...winning $100-mil would only be marignally better than winning $40-mil.
I certainly would not be more than twice as excited or happy with $100-mil.

In fact, the thrill of winning $10-mil for me would be difficult to exceed.
