Instant Take 5 is a $1 scratch-off from the New York Lottery (game #1680) with a top prize of $5,555 and overall odds of 1 in 4.69 at launch. 38 of 95 top prizes are gone, 57 are still unclaimed, and an estimated 54% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 15,379,879 prizes are still out there (it started with 28,505,867).
About half of the tickets are already gone, which makes this game squarely mid-run. Why care? Because the same prizes mean different things early versus late — the stack they're hiding in keeps shrinking. Right now: 57 of 95 top prizes left, and they're running about neck and neck — nothing special either way.
