The Cash prize is about equal to 1/2 the 'listed' Annuity prize. So, you win about $175M. After taxes, depending on the state, is a maximun of $114M. The Odds for winning are 146M to 1. So, the reward/risk ratio is still under 1.

The prize needs to be at least $450M for the reward/risk ratio hit 1

I'm waiting til next week...or the week after next...
