Please read the rules of the forum at https://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/threads/read-before-posting.46556/
You are expected to post some work, and then we will reply. You could start by finding the probability of winning each of the 4 prizes.
To find the expected value, you will need to compute the probability of each prize times its dollar value. Submit some work and someone from the forum will help you continue from there.
