Should You Play SILVER & GOLD CROSSWORD Right Now?

SILVER & GOLD CROSSWORD is a $5 scratch-off. The ROI is -40.7%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.97 in prize value.

Among the 19 active $5 games in Washington, SILVER & GOLD CROSSWORD ranks #16 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one SILVER & GOLD CROSSWORD ($5) ticket, consider buying 1x LOTERIA EXTRA! 4TH EDITION ($3) + 1x TIC TAC TRIPLER ($2). This combination delivers $3.24 in expected value compared to $2.97 for the single ticket — a 9.1% improvement. It also gives you a 41.4% chance of winning at least one prize versus 28.2% with the single ticket.
