Top prize odds are holding steady with a -25.4% change since launch. Among the 16 active $10 games in Kentucky, Payout Party ranks #12 by expected value.

Instead of buying one Payout Party ($10) ticket, consider buying 5x Jefferson ($2). This combination delivers $9.48 in expected value compared to $7.05 for the single ticket — a 34.4% improvement. It also gives you a 69.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 29.9% with the single ticket.
