  When a new game comes out do you start playing it the first week?   If not, how long do you wait?   I read the unclaimed prize report every week and I have noticed that it usually takes 3 or 4 weeks for the first and/or second place prizes to start getting redeemed.    Since it is doubtful that they would let the 1st place prize go out in first group it seems like a waste of money to buy them the first week.    For example, the Mother's Day Cash $5 game came out 4/1 and none of the 12 second place tickets have been redeemed yet.   And there is only one first place prize to begin with so that won't show up till they make enough money off the game.

  Always try the new ones to see if their any better. Usually stick with any that actually pay something back. Only bought 10$ this week because most of the winners are in the NYC area and any winners are becoming rare.
