Should You Play FAB 4 Right Now?

FAB 4 is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 48 weeks. The ROI is -38.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.07 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 12 active $5 games in South Dakota, FAB 4 ranks #11 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider MONEY MADNESS ($3.46 EV) and MERRY BRIGHT ($3.41 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one FAB 4 ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x BONUS GAME BINGO ($3) + 1x 10X THE CASH ($2). This combination delivers $3.22 in expected value compared to $3.07 for the single ticket — a 4.9% improvement. It also gives you a 40.3% chance of winning at least one prize versus 24.6% with the single ticket.
