Should You Play VIP Cashword Right Now?

VIP Cashword is a $10 scratch-off. The ROI is -26.1%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $7.39 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds have improved by 60.0% since launch — a dramatic shift in your favor. Among the 29 active $10 games in Michigan, VIP Cashword ranks #28 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider 25 Days of Winning ($8.04 EV) and 50X ($8.00 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one VIP Cashword ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x WILD WIN$ ($5). This combination delivers $7.47 in expected value compared to $7.39 for the single ticket — a 1.1% improvement. It also gives you a 47.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 28.8% with the single ticket.
