How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 1.8% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about 5 times the average for Kentucky's $20 games (0.3% a week). By tickets sold, it is the estimated #5 best seller of the 38 Kentucky tickets we can rank, at about 22,000 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.
