Why
↓The prize pool is running thin, with most prizes already won.
  • Top-prize odds have improved: 1 in 1.1M at launch, about 1 in 955K now. Tickets have sold faster than the $100,000 prizes have been claimed.
  • Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.
  • Wins are infrequent: about a 22% chance to win something per ticket (1 in 4.54), lower than most games.

How fast it's selling

Over the last 4 weeks, about 0.1% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, well below the average for Virginia's $5 games (1% 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.
