Cash Fever is a $10 scratch-off that has been on the market for 1 weeks. The ROI is -37.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $6.21 in prize value. All 3 top prizes are still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 9.6% change since launch. Among the 15 active $10 games in New Jersey, Cash Fever ranks #7 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Cash Fever ($10) ticket, consider buying 2x Cash Lines ($5). This combination delivers $6.81 in expected value compared to $6.21 for the single ticket — a 9.7% improvement. It also gives you a 25.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.9% with the single ticket.
