Single Ticket:
Cost: $2
Chances of at least breaking even:
13.9% (~7.2 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.
Optimal Chances:
Buying 5 ticket(s)
Cost: $10
Chances of at least breaking even:
18.6% (~5.4 to 1)
Median Prizes

10 tickets ($20): $6
100 tickets ($200): $90
1,000 tickets ($2,000): $1169
**Since only a finite number of scratch tickets were printed, overall odds used and number of winners may vary based on manufacturer's omissions, unsold tickets, reorders and unclaimed prizes.
