$500 FRENZY

**What's the deal** This $5 ticket in Washington is having a tough time right now. While there are still 164 of those nice $500 top prizes floating around, the problem is that almost all the prize levels – big, medium, and small – just aren't looking too hot. It's really pulling down its overall ranking. **Who should play this** This one's actually pretty balanced, meaning it's not really leaning towards huge wins or lots of little ones. If you just like the idea of hitting a $500 prize and aren't focused on anything else, and you don't mind a generally tougher game, then go for it. **Watch out for** Honestly, across the board, the prizes on this ticket are weaker than most right now. Don't expect many wins at any level. **The bottom line** With all its prize levels being a bit of a letdown right now, this $5 ticket just isn't delivering much excitement for your cash.
