Should You Play Cash Fever Right Now?

Cash Fever is a $10 scratch-off that has been on the market for 8 weeks. The ROI is -36.4%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $6.36 in prize value. All 3 top prizes are still available. Top prize odds have improved by 53.6% since launch — a dramatic shift in your favor. Among the 14 active $10 games in New Jersey, Cash Fever ranks #5 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Neon Cash Party ($6.77 EV) and $50,000 Jumbo Bucks ($6.67 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Cash Fever ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x Cash Lines ($5). This combination delivers $6.80 in expected value compared to $6.36 for the single ticket — a 6.8% improvement. It also gives you a 25.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.9% with the single ticket.
