Should You Play Creepy Cash Right Now?

Creepy Cash is a $2 scratch-off that has been on the market for 27 weeks. The ROI is -49.5%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.01 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 20 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -66.5% change since launch. Among the 9 active $2 games in New Mexico, Creepy Cash ranks #7 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Bingo Extra ($1.62 EV) and Betty Boop™ ($1.20 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Creepy Cash ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x Merry Money ($1). This combination delivers $1.29 in expected value compared to $1.01 for the single ticket — a 28.1% improvement. It also gives you a 44.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.2% with the single ticket.
