Should You Play Buck Wild Right Now?

Buck Wild is a $2 scratch-off. The ROI is -31.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.38 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 27 active $2 games in Michigan, Buck Wild ranks #6 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Blowout Bonanza ($1.47 EV) and Disco Dollars ($1.45 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Buck Wild ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x Let Freedom Ring ($1). This combination delivers $1.42 in expected value compared to $1.38 for the single ticket — a 2.6% improvement. It also gives you a 37.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.1% with the single ticket.
