How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 4.2% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about 8 times the average for Florida's $5 games (0.5% a week). By tickets sold, it is the estimated #2 best seller of the 68 Florida tickets we can rank, at about 590,000 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.
