Should You Play My Money Maker Right Now?

My Money Maker is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 27 weeks. The ROI is -37.4%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.13 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 10 active $5 games in South Carolina, My Money Maker ranks #9 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Hit $250 ($3.55 EV) and Sapphire Surprise ($3.55 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one My Money Maker ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x LOTERIA™ ($3) + 1x Jumbo Bucks ($2). This combination delivers $3.41 in expected value compared to $3.13 for the single ticket — a 9.2% improvement. It also gives you a 42.1% chance of winning at least one prize versus 25.1% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
