Twinkle Cash is a $3 scratch-off that has been on the market for 24 weeks. The ROI is -41.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.75 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Twinkle Cash ($3) ticket, consider buying 1x Jefferson ($2) + 1x $1 Break Fort Knox ($1). This combination delivers $2.57 in expected value compared to $1.75 for the single ticket — a 46.9% improvement. It also gives you a 37.5% chance of winning at least one prize versus 30.1% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
