Should You Play Diamond Slingo Right Now?

Diamond Slingo is a $3 scratch-off that has been on the market for 11 weeks. The ROI is -33.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.01 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Among the 4 active $3 games in Illinois, Diamond Slingo ranks #1 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Diamond Slingo ($3) ticket, consider buying 1x 10X Xtra ($2) + 1x Emeralds ($1). This combination delivers $2.02 in expected value compared to $2.01 for the single ticket — a 0.5% improvement. It also gives you a 38.1% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.0% with the single ticket.
