Queen, king, ace = nothing

Even number = $2

Odd number = $5

There are 5 even numbers or 20

There are 5 odd numbers or 20

There are 4 queens, 4 kings and 4 aces

In total there are 52 cards

Probability to get an even number = 20/52 = 0.38

Probability to gel an odd number = 20/52 = 0.38

Probability to win something = 40/52 = 0.77 The probability to win money is high because there are more cards with numbers that cards with queens, etc.

Considering this, the price of a ticket must be $1.50
