Should You Play Double Up Right Now?

Double Up is a $20 scratch-off that has been on the market for 30 weeks. The ROI is -26.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $14.61 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -6.1% change since launch. Among the 13 active $20 games in Kentucky, Double Up ranks #7 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Mega Cash ($16.14 EV) and Max-A-Million ($15.03 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Double Up ($20) ticket, consider buying 10x Jefferson ($2). This combination delivers $19.61 in expected value compared to $14.61 for the single ticket — a 34.2% improvement. It also gives you a 90.8% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.9% with the single ticket.
