.2145[(5 x 10 to the -62) + (5 x 10 to the -58th) + (5 x 10 to the -73rd)]

you're chances are so small, you have to start using scientific notation, to show how minute your chances of winning are.

For the record, my first big gambling win ever was a March Madness tournament in 11th grade, when I beat the whole school, so wins happen.

so basically in dollars, you're expexted value would be 1 over 10 to the 73rd power + 10 to the 62nd + 10 to the 56th.

that's a 1 with 73 zeros behind it...

which makes the 10 the 62d and 10 to the 56th obsolete (it just gobbles them up...

No actually 10 to the 58th power (which comes from your chance to win the $5000 fyi), gobbles up the other decimals..

making your EV $.00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000001

Ok that didn't work

ev = $.00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000001

Or, more specifically...

EV = $.00000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000001000100000000001
