Four Numbers - Expected Value
According to the Michigan Lottery the best odds of winning are when you pick four numbers. If all four numbers come up then you win $72 for each dollar you bet. If three numbers come up then you win $5 for each dollar you bet. If two numbers come up then you win $1 for every dollar you bet (net winnings are zero). Otherwise, you lose the money you bet.
Fill out the following table, assuming a $1 bet. Enter your probabilities as decimals, entering all the digits you see on your calculator.
