How fast it's selling
Over the last 4 weeks, about 0.4% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, slower than the average for Ohio's $50 games (0.6% 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.
