Expected return

Counting only prizes you have a realistic chance of hitting, this game returns about $3.07 per $5 ticket — 61% of what you pay. Like every scratch game, that is a loss on average.

A further $921,000 sits in 10 remaining prizes so rare that your chance of reaching one is about 1 in 587,845 per ticket — 5% of everything left in this game.

Based on roughly 5,878,450 tickets estimated to remain unsold. Scratch outcomes are fixed at printing; nothing here predicts an individual ticket.
