About this scratch ticket
Hot $2,000 is an active $10 North Carolina scratch ticket. This page tracks its estimated value rank, current odds, remaining prizes, top prize status, and NC Education Lottery prize data. Hot $2,000 currently shows solid estimated value compared with many tracked North Carolina scratch tickets based on remaining prizes, estimated ticket supply, and ticket cost. Hot $2,000 currently has one of the stronger Any Prize Odds rankings because its estimated chance of winning any prize appears favorable compared with other tracked North Carolina scratch tickets. This appears to be a more fixed-prize-style game, so jackpot-focused comparisons may be less meaningful than overall value comparisons.
