Should You Play FAST CASH Right Now?

FAST CASH is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 120 weeks. The ROI is -41.2%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.94 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 10 active $5 games in South Dakota, FAST CASH ranks #9 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider MONEY MADNESS ($3.49 EV) and MERRY BRIGHT ($3.41 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one FAST CASH ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x MONEY CASHWORD ($3) + 1x LOTS OF $100'S ($2). This combination delivers $3.15 in expected value compared to $2.94 for the single ticket — a 6.9% improvement. It also gives you a 39.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.5% with the single ticket.
