Should You Play PAYDAY Multiplier Right Now?

PAYDAY Multiplier is a $2 scratch-off that has been on the market for 47 weeks. The ROI is -40.5%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.19 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 4 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -18.5% change since launch. Among the 7 active $2 games in Kentucky, PAYDAY Multiplier ranks #5 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Jefferson ($1.96 EV) and Wild Cash 20X ($1.23 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one PAYDAY Multiplier ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1). This combination delivers $1.22 in expected value compared to $1.19 for the single ticket — a 2.7% improvement. It also gives you a 37.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 21.5% with the single ticket.
