Why
↓At $0.62 returned per $1, this game pays back less than most scratch-offs.
  • Top-prize odds have worsened: 1 in 1.4M at launch, about 1 in 1.5M now. The $5,000 prizes are being claimed faster than tickets sell.
  • Wins are infrequent: about a 20% chance to win something per ticket (1 in 4.89), lower than most games.
  • The bigger prize tiers here have plenty left to win.

How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 3% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about 6 times the average for New York's $1 games (0.5% a week). By tickets sold, it is the estimated #5 best seller of the 101 New York tickets we can rank, at about 410,000 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.
