Should You Play Lucky Numbers Right Now?

Lucky Numbers is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 167 weeks. The ROI is -33.4%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.33 in prize value. There are 2 of the original 16 top prizes still available. Among the 21 active $5 games in Florida, Lucky Numbers ranks #17 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Double Your Money ($4.24 EV) and Break The Bank ($3.87 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Lucky Numbers ($5) ticket, consider buying 5x $10,000 GOLD RUSH MULTIPLIER ($1). This combination delivers $3.99 in expected value compared to $3.33 for the single ticket — a 19.8% improvement. It also gives you a 70.2% chance of winning at least one prize versus 25.1% with the single ticket.
