Should You Play Jackpot Right Now?

Jackpot is a $20 scratch-off that has been on the market for 46 weeks. The ROI is -78.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $4.28 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 5 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -37.5% change since launch. Among the 6 active $20 games in Pennsylvania, Jackpot ranks #4 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Jackpot ($20) ticket, consider buying 2x $50, $100 or $500 ($10). This combination delivers $14.69 in expected value compared to $4.28 for the single ticket — a 243.3% improvement. It also gives you a 20.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.2% with the single ticket.
