I figured it was kind of impossible to work out the odds of that happening though, I guess you could find data on how many tickets are usually sold when the jackpots this high
I would calculate the EV as a function of the probability of someone else winning and then see where the cutoff is for net positive EV. I'd then plug in some assumptions about how many other people are playing and average tickets / person and see if it sounded reasonable.
You probably can't get an exact answer, but you can get a range of values to get a reasonable idea of whether or not you could play.
