2). The time period I would like to see total tickets sold would be different for each instant kiwi game. Essentially I would require the total tickets sold since inception of each game to our current date of 06.07.25.
3). I also would like to know the total current prize pool of each in store game that is left. The time period would be from the inception of the game to todays date, 06.07.25.
Yours sincerely,
