Should You Play Double Match Right Now?

Double Match is a $2 scratch-off that has been on the market for 95 weeks. The ROI is -43.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.12 in prize value. Among the 30 active $2 games in MS, Double Match ranks #24 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Cash Grab ($1.36 EV) and Double It! ($1.32 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Double Match ($2) ticket, consider buying 2x Rapid Refund ($1). This combination delivers $1.15 in expected value compared to $1.12 for the single ticket — a 2.5% improvement. It also gives you a 37.2% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.6% with the single ticket.
