How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 2.5% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, about twice the average for Ohio's $5 games (1.4% 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.
