Find the 8s (California)
Official website for Game
Single Ticket:
Cost: $1
Chances of at least breaking even:
10.6% (~3.9 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. You are forced to continue playing the free ticket (and possibly again and again...) until you either lose or win a prize. More likely than not you will lose. This drops your chances of at least breaking even from the stated amount on the website to the odds calculated above.
