Should You Play Kentucky Jackpot Right Now?

Kentucky Jackpot is a $20 scratch-off that has been on the market for 71 weeks. The ROI is -32.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $13.59 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 12 active $20 games in Kentucky, Kentucky Jackpot ranks #11 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Mega Cash ($16.36 EV) and Max-A-Million ($15.05 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Kentucky Jackpot ($20) ticket, consider buying 10x Jefferson ($2). This combination delivers $18.96 in expected value compared to $13.59 for the single ticket — a 39.5% improvement. It also gives you a 90.8% chance of winning at least one prize versus 30.9% with the single ticket.
