Make Me A Millionaire 590 (California)

Official website for Game

Single Ticket:
Cost: $1
Chances of at least breaking even:
9.3% (~10.8 to 1)


Note: While technically the the free ticket is a breakeven prize as they are both worth the same amount, they are not equal as you can not exchange the free ticket for a cash amount and walk away break-even.

This drops your chances of at least breaking even from the stated amount on the website to the odds calculated above.


Optimal Chances:
Buying 10 ticket(s)
Cost: $10
Chances of at least breaking even:
20% (~5 to 1)
