Should You Play Holiday Bonus Right Now?

Holiday Bonus is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 16 weeks. The ROI is -39.9%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.00 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 4 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 27.3% change since launch. Among the 12 active $5 games in NH, Holiday Bonus ranks #10 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Double Take ($4.12 EV) and Cash Inferno ($4.00 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Holiday Bonus ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Scratch and Match ($2) + 1x Quick $25's ($1). This combination delivers $3.87 in expected value compared to $3.00 for the single ticket — a 28.9% improvement. It also gives you a 53.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.9% with the single ticket.
