Suppose there is a lottery ticket that costs $20.


It has a 0.5 probability of winning $2, a 0.25 probability of winning $4, a 0.125 probability of winning $8, and so on, continuing infinitely.
Theoretically, the expected return from buying this lottery ticket is positive infinity.
Would you buy this lottery ticket?
