A further $2,500 sits in 1 remaining prize so rare that your chance of reaching one is about 1 in 2,034,970 per ticket — 0% of everything left in this game.
Based on roughly 2,034,970 tickets estimated to remain unsold. Scratch outcomes are fixed at printing; nothing here predicts an individual ticket.
