Should You Play Bonus Money Right Now?

Bonus Money is a $10 scratch-off that has been on the market for 88 weeks. The ROI is -36.7%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $6.33 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 -30.7% change since launch. Among the 10 active $10 games in New Mexico, Bonus Money ranks #4 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Bonus Money ($10) ticket, consider buying 5x Bingo Extra ($2). This combination delivers $8.10 in expected value compared to $6.33 for the single ticket — a 27.9% improvement. It also gives you a 77.0% chance of winning at least one prize versus 29.4% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
