Over the last 3 weeks, about 0.2% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, slower than the average for Georgia's $5 games (0.4% 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.
