Should You Play Millionaire Maker Right Now?

Millionaire Maker is a $30 scratch-off that has been on the market for 103 weeks. The ROI is -24.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $22.54 in prize value. There are 2 of the original 3 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 6.0% change since launch. Among the 7 active $30 games in Connecticut, Millionaire Maker ranks #6 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider DIAMONDS & GOLD ($28.41 EV) and WIN BIG ($23.42 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Millionaire Maker ($30) ticket, consider buying 1x $2,000,000 MEGA MULTIPLIER ($20) + 3x LOTERIA™ ($3) + 1x 10X the cash ($1). This combination delivers $26.91 in expected value compared to $22.54 for the single ticket — a 19.4% improvement. It also gives you a 78.9% chance of winning at least one prize versus 36.8% with the single ticket.
