Early innings or late

"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.
