Should You Play 5X Right Now?

5X is a $1 scratch-off. The ROI is -43.3%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $0.57 in prize value. There are 2 of the original 5 top prizes still available. Top prize odds have improved by 95.2% since launch — a dramatic shift in your favor. Among the 27 active $1 games in Michigan, 5X ranks #21 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider It's Intermission Time! ($0.71 EV) and Whoa Nelly!

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one 5X ($1) ticket, consider buying 2x Some Like It Hot ($0). This combination delivers $0.70 in expected value compared to $0.57 for the single ticket — a 24.0% improvement. It also gives you a 35.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 21.0% with the single ticket.
