Comment Useful gain (Score 2) 480

3, 33 or 333 millions. Would that make any difference? I don't think so.
It you want to calculate the expected gain then you should only consider the useful gain.
For me, 1 or 2 millions would be enough for the rest of my life so if I had to choose a lottery, I would pick one that maximize the probability to gain that amount. Any lottery with a smaller maximal gain (e.g. a few millions) but a higher probability is a better choice.
