Why
→Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.

  • Strong expected value of $0.77 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.

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 North Carolina's $20 games (0.7% 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.
