Should I Buy This Ticket?

Expected value per $1 spent:
$0.80
↓
BELOW AVERAGE
It is 25th of the 25 active $10 games in Massachusetts, so most $10 alternatives will serve you better.
Why
↓Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
  • Wins are infrequent: about a 11% chance to win something per ticket (1 in 8.86), lower than most games.
  • Strong expected value of $0.80 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
