How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 2.5% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about 3 times the average for California's $3 games (1% a week). By tickets sold, it is the estimated #8 best seller of the 48 California tickets we can rank, at about 430,000 tickets a week.

From ScratchCheck's daily record of the lottery's published prize counts. Dates are when a claim first appeared in those counts, and small prizes are often cashed days after purchase, so claims trail actual sales.
