ABOUT THIS GAME
As of November 4, 2026, 2 of the 7 $50,000 top prizes are still unclaimed; across the 10 prize levels the lottery reports, 61,380 of 1,491,069 prizes (4%) remain; the thinnest level is $500, with 1% of its prizes left.
At current prize levels a $5 ticket returns about $2.83 on average (0.57 per dollar), which ranks 13 of 15 $5 games on sale in Connecticut, below the $5 median of 0.67. Among every Connecticut game with a computable value it is 67 of 76; nationally it sits in the 10th percentile. Like nearly every scratch-off, it pays back less than it costs on average.
Over the last 19 days, 6,803 prizes were claimed across the reported levels, none of them a top prize; at the current pace the remaining tickets would sell out in about 247 days (likely range 173–346).
