ABOUT THIS GAME
Joker's Wild: prizes, value and pace
As of November 4, 2026, 1 of the 4 $100,000 top prizes is still unclaimed; across the 9 prize levels the lottery reports, 61,311 of 226,247 prizes (27%) remain; the thinnest level is $100, with 24% of its prizes left.
At current prize levels a $5 ticket returns about $3.24 on average (0.65 per dollar), which ranks 11 of 15 $5 games on sale in New Hampshire, below the $5 median of 0.66. Among every New Hampshire game with a computable value it is 28 of 69; nationally it sits in the 42th percentile. Like nearly every scratch-off, it pays back less than it costs on average.
Over the last 30 days, 13,762 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 125 days (likely range 88–175).
