Should You Play Jurassic Park Right Now?

Jurassic Park is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 28 weeks. The ROI is -46.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.70 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 22 active $5 games in North Carolina, Jurassic Park ranks #22 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider 5 Times Lucky ($3.63 EV) and $400,000 Jackpot ($3.55 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Jurassic Park ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x 10X The Cash ($2) + 1x Lucky 7s ($1). This combination delivers $3.24 in expected value compared to $2.70 for the single ticket — a 20.1% improvement. It also gives you a 51.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.4% with the single ticket.
