Should You Play Hamilton Right Now?

Hamilton is a $10 scratch-off that has been on the market for 8 weeks. The ROI is -28.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value.

Instead of buying one Hamilton ($10) ticket, consider buying 5x Jefferson ($2). This combination delivers $9.80 in expected value compared to $7.14 for the single ticket — a 37.3% improvement. It also gives you a 69.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 28.9% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
