Should I Buy This Ticket?
- Top-prize odds have worsened: 1 in 2.0M at launch, about 1 in 2.4M now. The $2,000,000 prizes are being claimed faster than tickets sell.
- Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
- Strong expected value of $0.80 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
