Also, with taxes and the possibility of split jackpot, I think it has to be well over 300 million or something to get to +ev.

When I win that, I'm moving pretty much instantly. 300 million bucks would make me quite the attractive target where I live...Hell $300 dollars would.

ignoring the possibility of there being >1 winner, it is +EV to buy a ticket now (odds are 1:175M or something).
