Should You Play UCONN® Right Now?

UCONN® is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 20 weeks. The ROI is -30.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.47 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds have improved by 72.3% since launch — a dramatic shift in your favor. Among the 10 active $5 games in Connecticut, UCONN® ranks #3 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one UCONN® ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x LOTERIA™ ($3) + 1x Green & Gold ($2). This combination delivers $3.56 in expected value compared to $3.47 for the single ticket — a 2.6% improvement. It also gives you a 44.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 26.2% with the single ticket.
