Should You Play Mini Monsters Right Now?

Mini Monsters is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 30 weeks. The ROI is -33.2%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Mini Monsters ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Jefferson ($2) + 1x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1). This combination delivers $4.53 in expected value compared to $3.34 for the single ticket — a 35.7% improvement. It also gives you a 50.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.2% with the single ticket.
