Should You Play $500 Loaded Right Now?

$500 Loaded is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 26 weeks. The ROI is -40.7%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.96 in prize value. Among the 22 active $5 games in MS, $500 Loaded ranks #22 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one $500 Loaded ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x Bingo Night ($3) + 1x Cash Grab ($2). This combination delivers $3.31 in expected value compared to $2.96 for the single ticket — a 11.6% improvement. It also gives you a 41.2% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.3% with the single ticket.
