POOR VALUE
Ranked 71st out of 75 Mississippi scratch-offs. Better options exist, including 4 other $1 Mississippi games ranked higher.
Why
↓The return of $0.61 per dollar runs below what similar tickets pay.
- Wins are infrequent: about a 21% chance to win something per ticket (1 in 4.82), lower than most games.
- Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
