Payday is a $5 scratch-off from the Washington Lottery (game #1975) with overall odds of 1 in 3.38 at launch. All 4 top prizes of $75,000 have been claimed — none are left to win. The biggest prize still out there is $500, with 1 unclaimed, and an estimated 13% of tickets remain. Across every prize tier, 91,847 prizes are still out there (it started with 731,000).
"PAYDAY" is near the end of the line, with about a quarter of its tickets still out there. Games late in their run get interesting when the prizes outlast the tickets; early ones are mostly a bet on the design. Here, the tickets are outlasting the top prizes, which is a reason to be careful. If "PAYDAY" is your usual pick, make this page a habit — the board moves even when the ticket art doesn't.
