AVERAGE
Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either; it is 7th of the 13 active $20 games in North Carolina.
Why
→Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
- The prize pool is running thin, with most prizes already won.
- Strong expected value of $0.77 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
