Bursting with $5,000s

" **What's the deal** This $30 ticket is sitting comfortably in the middle of the pack, and that's because it offers a pretty even-keeled experience. All the prize levels – from the big ones down to the smaller wins – are just kind of… medium. It’s not flashy with huge jackpots, but it’s not stingy on the little stuff either. There are still 961 of those $5,000 prizes floating around, which is pretty good for a top prize. **Who should play this** This one's for you if you're looking for a balanced bet. You’re not chasing a dream-come-true fortune, nor are you just trying to get your money back. You want a decent shot at those $5,000 prizes without feeling like every other scratch is a bust. **Watch out for** Even with those 961 top prizes left, $5,000 isn't a life-changing amount for a $30 ticket. Don't expect to retire on this one. **The bottom line** "Bursting with $5,000s" is a solid, balanced choice if you appreciate steady, middle-of-the-road prize opportunities without any extreme highs or lows.
