"PAYDAY" is close to selling out, with only a small slice of its tickets still unsold. Late in a run, a game is worth a look when prizes outlast tickets. Early on, the prize design matters most. Here, the top prizes are being claimed faster than the tickets are selling, which is a reason to be careful.
