Should You Play Bonus Money Right Now?

Bonus Money is a $5 scratch-off. The ROI is -27.1%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.64 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -24.3% change since launch. Among the 39 active $5 games in Michigan, Bonus Money ranks #5 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider WILD WIN$ ($3.74 EV) and $3,000,000 Payout ($3.71 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Bonus Money ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Blowout Bonanza ($2) + 1x Let Freedom Ring ($1). This combination delivers $3.65 in expected value compared to $3.64 for the single ticket — a 0.2% improvement. It also gives you a 65.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.5% with the single ticket.
