Should You Play UNO Right Now?

UNO is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 38 weeks. The ROI is -43.2%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.84 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -9.8% change since launch. Among the 16 active $5 games in New Jersey, UNO ranks #13 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Cash Lines ($3.40 EV) and 20X ($3.32 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one UNO ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Big Money Spectacular ($2) + 1x Loose Change ($1). This combination delivers $2.94 in expected value compared to $2.84 for the single ticket — a 3.5% improvement. It also gives you a 51.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.7% with the single ticket.
