How deep into its run

Nearly all of the tickets are already gone, which makes this game near the end of the line. Why care? Because the same prizes mean different things early versus late — the stack they're hiding in keeps shrinking. Right now: 24 of 95 top prizes left, and the top prizes are hanging on while the tickets disappear — the good kind of lopsided. Same time tomorrow — the board will have moved a little, and this page will move with it.
