Should I Buy This Ticket?

- Roughly half the prize pool has been claimed, with a decent amount still left.

How fast it's selling
Over the last 4 weeks, about 0.5% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, close to the average for Michigan's $5 games (0.5% 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.
