Instant Take 5 is a $1 scratch-off from the New York Lottery (game #1574) with a top prize of $5,555 and overall odds of 1 in 4.69 at launch. 71 of 95 top prizes are gone, 24 are still unclaimed, and an estimated 5% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 1,456,847 prizes are still out there (it started with 29,342,526).
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.
