Over the last 4 weeks, about 1.1% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, close to the average for Massachusetts's $1 games (0.8% 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.
