Should You Play Neon 7 Right Now?

Neon 7 is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 27 weeks. The ROI is -46.2%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.69 in prize value. There are 9 of the original 20 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -5.7% change since launch. Among the 9 active $5 games in New Mexico, Neon 7 ranks #4 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Money Rush ($3.30 EV) and Fiery 5s ($2.87 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Neon 7 ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x Lucky Numbers ($3) + 1x Cherry Twist ($2). This combination delivers $2.76 in expected value compared to $2.69 for the single ticket — a 2.4% improvement. It also gives you a 43.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.1% with the single ticket.
