"$5,000 Triple Play" keeps doing the most interesting thing a scratcher can do: nothing. The $5,000 top prizes haven't been hit for three 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. If "$5,000 Triple Play" is your usual pick, make this page a habit — the board moves even when the ticket art doesn't.
