Should You Play 50X Right Now?

50X is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 39 weeks. The ROI is -27.3%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.64 in prize value. There are 84 of the original 210 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 4.2% change since launch.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one 50X ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Bingo ($2) + 1x $50 in a Flash ($1). This combination delivers $4.96 in expected value compared to $3.64 for the single ticket — a 36.2% improvement. It also gives you a 52.6% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.2% with the single ticket.
