SKEE-BALL® is a $3 scratch-off that has been on the market for 47 weeks. The ROI is -52.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.42 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 7 active $3 games in New Mexico, SKEE-BALL® ranks #5 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one SKEE-BALL® ($3) ticket, consider buying 1x Cherry Twist ($2) + 1x Dinero Loco ($1). This combination delivers $1.61 in expected value compared to $1.42 for the single ticket — a 13.4% improvement. It also gives you a 40.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.0% with the single ticket.
