Should I Buy This Ticket?

Expected value per $1 spent:
$0.61
↓
POOR VALUE
Ranked 64th out of 66 Mississippi scratch-offs. Better options exist, including 4 other $1 Mississippi games ranked higher.
Why
↓Wins are infrequent: about a 21% chance to win something per ticket (1 in 4.82), lower than most games.
  • Top-prize odds have improved: 1 in 452K at launch, about 1 in 148K now. Tickets have sold faster than the $5,000 prizes have been claimed.
  • The return of $0.61 per dollar runs below what similar tickets pay.
  • Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.

Over the last 4 weeks, about 0.1% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, well below the average for Mississippi's $1 games (1.4% a week).

From ScratchCheck's daily record of the lottery's published prize counts. Dates are when a claim first appeared in those counts, and small prizes are often cashed days after purchase, so claims trail actual sales.
