Cash Drop is a $2 scratch-off from the North Carolina Lottery (game #12) with a top prize of $20,000 and overall odds of 1 in 4.63 at launch. 1 of 4 top prizes is gone, 3 are still unclaimed, and an estimated 46% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 685,541 prizes are still out there (it started with 1,487,506).
"Cash Drop" keeps doing the most interesting thing a scratcher can do: nothing. The $20,000 top prizes haven't been hit for close to two months, while the everyday prizes keep getting claimed out of an ever-smaller stack of tickets. They printed a fixed number of these — every quiet day tightens that math a little more. Same time tomorrow — the board will have moved a little, and this page will move with it.
