Should You Play Jackpot Party Right Now?

Jackpot Party is a $5 scratch-off. The ROI is -31.0%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.45 in prize value. There are 4 of the original 8 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -7.2% change since launch. Among the 18 active $5 games in Ohio, Jackpot Party ranks #10 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Set For Life ($3.71 EV) and $25, $50 or $250 ($3.65 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Jackpot Party ($5) ticket, consider buying 5x Holiday Cash ($1). This combination delivers $3.53 in expected value compared to $3.45 for the single ticket — a 2.5% improvement. It also gives you a 76.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.9% with the single ticket.
