This problem comes from a game I saw in a restaurant while visiting Montana recently.
A game costs 50 cents to play. You are given 6 dice and roll them all at once. If you get at least 5 of the same value, you win the jackpot. If you don't, your 50 cents is added to the jackpot. How big should the jackpot be in order for this to be a good bet?
