    If you dont have a 66 million dollar bankroll its -EV to buy a $1 ticket

    LOL.
    It isn't -EV but you would technically be overbetting.

    I thought overbetting was -ev. In this case the minimum bet is $1 in which your overbetting. Wouldnt that lead to depleting your bankroll?

    If you overbet +EV by a big enough margin it will result in -EG (negative expected growth).

    Well I bought the same 2 tickets for the next 10 drawings, so I am good to go tonight for the 40 million payday.

    If the powerball is not a 6 or 9, then I am screwed.
