$0.80
↑
ABOVE AVERAGE
Ranked #14 of 55 in California, better than about 76% of the state's games, stronger than most of what is on sale at this price.
Why
↑Frequent winners: roughly a 37% shot at a prize on each ticket (1 in 2.71), ahead of most games.
  • Top-prize odds have improved: 1 in 3.0M at launch, about 1 in 2.3M now. Tickets have sold faster than the $10,000,000 prizes have been claimed.
  • Strong expected value of $0.80 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
  • Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
