How fast it's selling
Over the last 4 weeks, about 0.2% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, well below the average for Kentucky's $5 games (1.1% a week). By tickets sold, it is still the estimated #17 best seller of the 38 Kentucky tickets we can rank, at about 6,300 tickets a week: a small share of a big print run is a lot of tickets.
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.
