Merry Money (California)

Official website for Game

Single Ticket:
Cost: $1
Chances of at least breaking even:
14.5% (~6.9 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.
