The lottery is +EV

Good luck trying to avoid the taxes on a $120 million jackpot.

Hitting powerball is 120million:1. When the prize is over 120 million it is +EV if u assume that only 1 person will hit. Being +EV is not very exciting alone, especially when its absolute value is $.0000000000000001.
