Why
→The prize pool is running thin, with most prizes already won.
  • Top-prize odds have improved: 1 in 565K at launch, about 1 in 178K now. Tickets have sold faster than the $100,000 prizes have been claimed.
  • Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
  • At $0.69 back per $1, the return here is middle-of-the-road for this price point.

How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 1.8% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about twice the average for Mississippi's $5 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.
