Re: Lottery at the +EV Point
Ok, maybe this is wrong, but I think the odds of hitting you guys are using is wrong.
You have to pick 5 numbers from a field of 52 and the power ball # from a field of 52.
Possible combinations
(52*51*50*49*58)(52)=16,217,510,400
So your chances of your number being drawing is about 1/16.2 Billion
So the jackpot would have to well exceed $16 BILLION for the lottery to be +EV
