LUCKY DOG

**What's the deal** LUCKY DOG is currently one of our stronger picks, and for good reason. One of those big $100,000 top prizes is still out there, which is always exciting! The way the prizes shake out, you’ve got a good shot at the big one, and the smaller wins are pretty decent too. The middle prizes, though, aren’t quite as strong. **Who should play this** This ticket is a solid choice for someone who likes a well-rounded scratch-off. You're not just chasing tiny wins, but you're also not totally putting all your hopes on the big jackpot. It's got a good mix. **Watch out for** Those middle-tier prizes aren’t very plentiful. You’ll probably either hit a smaller win or go for the big one, but don't expect too many wins in the middle range. **The bottom line** LUCKY DOG offers a nice blend of a significant top prize still available and decent small wins, making it a balanced and appealing option for five bucks.
