$5,000 FRENZY

**What's the deal** Right now, this $30 ticket isn't looking super hot. The big draw is that $5,000 prize, and there are still 26 of those out there, which is pretty cool! But when you look at how all the prizes are stacked, it's a bit of a meh picture. The top, middle, and even the smaller prize amounts are all a bit on the low side for a $30 ticket. It's built to give you a pretty even chance across all prize levels, rather than a big swing for the fences. **Who should play this** This one's for someone who likes a pretty balanced game. You're not really chasing a life-changing jackpot here, nor are you likely to win tons of small prizes. It’s more for someone who enjoys the act of scratching and hopes for a modest win. **Watch out for** Honestly, for a $30 ticket, the prize structure is just a bit underwhelming across the board. Don't expect huge wins or a frequent stream of smaller ones. **The bottom line** This ticket offers a balanced, but generally weaker, shot at winning compared to other options out there right now.
