Should You Play $1,000,000 BIG MONEY Right Now?

$1,000,000 BIG MONEY is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 30 weeks. The ROI is -28.1%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one $1,000,000 BIG MONEY ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Bingo ($2) + 1x $10,000 SILVER STRIKE ($1). This combination delivers $4.95 in expected value compared to $3.59 for the single ticket — a 37.9% improvement. It also gives you a 53.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 18.6% with the single ticket.
