Should You Play Double Match Right Now?

Double Match is a $2 scratch-off that has been on the market for 95 weeks. The ROI is -41.8%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.16 in prize value. Among the 29 active $2 games in MS, Double Match ranks #21 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Cash Grab ($1.35 EV) and High Roller ($1.31 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Double Match ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x Rapid Refund ($1). This combination delivers $1.20 in expected value compared to $1.16 for the single ticket — a 3.0% improvement. It also gives you a 37.2% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.6% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
