Should You Play Bonus Money Right Now?

Bonus Money is a $5 scratch-off. The ROI is -26.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.66 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 -35.2% change since launch. Among the 37 active $5 games in Michigan, Bonus Money ranks #3 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Bonus Money ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Blowout Bonanza ($2) + 1x It's Intermission Time! ($1). This combination delivers $3.66 in expected value compared to $3.66 for the single ticket — a 0.1% improvement. It also gives you a 65.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.5% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
