There are 900 choices and a 1/900 chance of getting the right number.
E(X)=674(1/900)-1(899/900). It is 674, because a dollar has already been spent.
0.7489-0.9989=-$0.25

-----
Random "winnings".... -1......674
Probabilities::......899/900...1/900
------
Expected "winnings" = (-899 + 674)/900 = -225/900 = -25 cents
