Should You Play Lucky Match Doubler Right Now?

Lucky Match Doubler is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 13 weeks. The ROI is -32.5%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.38 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 -53.1% change since launch. Among the 10 active $5 games in South Carolina, Lucky Match Doubler ranks #7 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Hit $250 ($3.55 EV) and Sapphire Surprise ($3.54 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Lucky Match Doubler ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x LOTERIA™ ($3) + 1x Jumbo Bucks ($2). This combination delivers $3.41 in expected value compared to $3.38 for the single ticket — a 1.0% improvement. It also gives you a 42.1% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.9% with the single ticket.
