50. She would need a completely devastating, unprecedented blowout victory
to net 30 delegates over Obama in PA, and she's not going to get one. The possibility of her carrying any state by that kind of margin was neutralized in February by her own shitty campaign strategy. You can't get your ass handed to you by blowout margins in 12 consecutive contests and then start winning by 20-point margins. The stink of "loser" is too hard to wash off at that point. And more significantly, it puts you out of the reach of many, many delegates. Her campaign's strategy of not targeting small, Republican or caucus states is what's killing her, and there's no way to undo that loss of delegates.

Even if she did somehow gain 30 delegates over Obama, it still wouldn't be enough to inflict the kind of damage she needs to inflict on him. It's too late.
