Each ticket returns an expected $7.05 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 -26.5% change since launch. Among the 18 active $10 games in Kentucky, Payout Party ranks #13 by expected value.

Instead of buying one Payout Party ($10) ticket, consider buying 5x Jefferson ($2). This combination delivers $9.80 in expected value compared to $7.05 for the single ticket — a 39.1% improvement. It also gives you a 69.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 29.9% with the single ticket.
