Should I Buy This Ticket?

Expected value per $1 spent:
$0.83
↑
ABOVE AVERAGE
Ranked #8, ahead of roughly 87% of Illinois's 54 active games, stronger than most of what is on sale at this price.
Why
↑Strong expected value of $0.83 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
  • Top-prize odds have worsened: 1 in 1.1M at launch, about 1 in 1.2M now. The $3,000,000 prizes are being claimed faster than tickets sell.
  • At 1 in 3.35 overall odds, prizes land more often than in most games.
  • The prize pool is about half spent, half still in circulation.
