Should You Play Millionaire Maker Right Now?

Millionaire Maker is a $30 scratch-off that has been on the market for 96 weeks. The ROI is -25.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $22.49 in prize value. There are 2 of the original 3 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 3.0% change since launch. Among the 6 active $30 games in Connecticut, Millionaire Maker ranks #5 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider DIAMONDS & GOLD ($26.83 EV) and WIN BIG ($23.25 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Millionaire Maker ($30) ticket, consider buying 1x $2,000,000 MEGA MULTIPLIER ($20) + 1x 100X 2nd Edition ($10). This combination delivers $26.97 in expected value compared to $22.49 for the single ticket — a 19.9% improvement. It also gives you a 50.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 36.8% with the single ticket.
