Should You Play Wild Cherry Right Now?

Wild Cherry is a $10 scratch-off that has been on the market for 24 weeks. The ROI is -25.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $7.41 in prize value. Among the 9 active $10 games in MS, Wild Cherry ranks #9 by expected value.

Instead of buying one Wild Cherry ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x Double the Money ($5). This combination delivers $8.49 in expected value compared to $7.41 for the single ticket — a 14.6% improvement. It also gives you a 36.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 25.1% with the single ticket.
