Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Double Cash Doubler ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x One-Word Crossword ($3) + 1x MONOPOLY ($2). This combination delivers $3.89 in expected value compared to $3.79 for the single ticket — a 2.7% improvement. It also gives you a 40.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.9% with the single ticket.
