Cashword King is a $10 scratch-off from the North Carolina Lottery (game #7) with a top prize of $1,000,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.57 at launch. 4 of 5 top prizes are gone, 1 is still unclaimed, and an estimated 14% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 241,025 prizes are still out there (it started with 1,693,991).
Most 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: one of five top prizes left, and the tickets and the top prizes are burning down at about the same pace. Everything above comes from the North Carolina Lottery's own published numbers — we just do the counting.
