Opinion of the Golden Scratchers

Golden Scratch Off (GSO)
Based on the odds, the GSO is a good value if only plan to spend $10-$20 at most. If you plan on purchasing a larger amount of donuts anyways, the odds favor you just buying a Boatload or a Store. However, if you buy 2 scratch offs (the cost of 12 donuts) you will at least get 12 donuts, so you can only win if you're only going to spend a small amount of total $$ on the game. Of course, the odds don't guarantee results, so anything can happen, just trying to look at it from "the casino's" perspective:

Here are the payout odds (from the Raw Files, thanks J_3xx9):
100 Donuts: 2%
50 Donuts: 4%
20 Donuts: 10%
12 Donuts: 20%
9 Donuts: 33.33%
6 Donuts: 30.67%

Based on the odds, if you bought 100 Golden Scratch Offs, you'd receive 1326 Donuts (100*2 + 50*4 + 20*10 + 12*20 + 9*34 + 6*30). If you used the same $100 on a Boatload of Donuts, you'd get 2400 Donuts (versus ~1326)."

If you bought 50 Golden Scratch Offs, you'd receive 663 Donuts (100*1 + 50*2 + 20*5 + 12*10 + 9*17 + 6*15). If you used the same $50 on a Store Full of Donuts, you'd have gotten 900 (versus ~663).

As you can see, It's not until you start spending less $$ that you start to see the odds turn in your favor. (This is based mainly on the fact that you may be spending less on the total donut package, but your cost per donut INCREASES. Boatloads will still give you the best predictable value if you're going to spend the $$ on donuts.)
20 GSO = ~265 Donuts vs 300 Donuts from Truckload
10 GSO = ~133 Donuts vs 132 Donuts from Tray
5 GSO = ~66 Donuts vs 60 Donuts from Stack
2 GSO = ~27 Donuts vs 12 Donuts from Dozen
