ABOUT THIS GAME

X the Cash: prizes, value and pace

As of August 31, 2026, 2 of the 3 $100,000 top prizes are still unclaimed; across the 13 prize levels the lottery reports, 189,194 of 418,041 prizes (45%) remain; the thinnest level is $500, with 42% of its prizes left.

At current prize levels a $5 ticket returns about $3.66 on average (0.73 per dollar), which ranks 2 of 14 $5 games on sale in Arkansas, above the $5 median of 0.72. Among every Arkansas game with a computable value it is 26 of 73; nationally it sits in the 75th percentile. Like nearly every scratch-off, it pays back less than it costs on average.

Over the last 25 days, 3,195 prizes were claimed across the reported levels, none of them a top prize.

Figures come from the prize data the Arkansas lottery publishes (official game page), which Tirage checks daily; this page reflects the August 31, 2026 update. See how we calculate value.
