Question
An organization is raising money for charity. They decide on having a raffle so there is a chance to win something while supporting a good cause. Raffle tickets are being sold at $20 per ticket. 500 tickets are being sold and one winner gets $400.
Expected value of the raffle is : -20 (500/500)+(400)(20/500)= -$4
This is not a fair game because the EV is negative, but because it is a raffle benefitting charity, that is understandable
