Magic 8 Ball™ is a $2 scratch-off from the Maryland Lottery (game #719) with a top prize of $8,888 and overall odds of 1 in 4.1 at launch. 5 of 6 top prizes are gone, 1 is still unclaimed, and an estimated 10% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 75,881 prizes are still out there (it started with 769,663).
Most of the tickets are already gone, which makes this game running on its last stretch of tickets. Why care? Because the same prizes mean different things early versus late — the stack they're hiding in keeps shrinking. Right now: one of six top prizes left, and the tickets and the top prizes are burning down at about the same pace. Everything above comes from the Maryland Lottery's own published numbers — we just do the counting.
