Consumers face loss of legitimate tax incentive benefits due to low program awareness and short 12-month claim windows. Unclaimed prizes represent foregone household income and reduced purchasing power incentives, potentially dampening retail participation in the tax incentive scheme.

Current design may inadvertently benefit state finances while undermining program's consumer incentive objectives.
