How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 1.5% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about twice the average for New York's $5 games (0.7% a week). By tickets sold, it is the estimated #33 best seller of the 101 New York tickets we can rank, at about 100,000 tickets 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.
