As of September 22, 2026 it ranks #1 of 76 active games on current payout (125.5%, $6.27 expected back per ticket) and #1 of 21 $5 games, #8 on any-prize odds (1 in 2.23) and #55 on top-prize odds (—). Since launch the payout has risen 56.6 points (68.9% at launch) and your chance of winning something has risen 120.3% (1 in 4.92 at launch). 0 of 2 top prizes of $100,000 remain, and we estimate 28,044 tickets are still unsold (97.5% sold). That puts it among the best Mississippi scratch-offs to buy right now. Note: a payout above 100% means the unclaimed prizes are worth more than the remaining tickets cost. That is genuinely possible this far into a game's run, but it is also where our ticket-count estimate is weakest, so read it as "unusually rich", not as a guarantee (how we calculate this).
