AVERAGE
At 18th out of 35 South Carolina scratch-offs, it neither stands out nor falls behind.
Why
→Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
- The prize pool is running thin, with most prizes already won.
- Strong expected value of $0.75 per $1: a bigger slice of ticket sales is still sitting in the prize pool than usual.
