Why Instant Take 5 Ranks Where It Does

Instant Take 5 ranks in the lower half of active NY scratch-offs because it scores strongest on payout rate and EV shift since launch (98/100), data reliability for its lifecycle stage (82/100) and top-prize accessibility and jackpot availability (70/100). At the moment 19 top prizes are still unclaimed, which is factored into the upside score above.

Smart Score is recalculated daily from the official NY Lottery prize feed. See the methodology page for how each factor is computed, and the data sources page for attribution.
