Should You Play Super Crossword Right Now?

Super Crossword is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 11 weeks. The ROI is -42.5%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.87 in prize value. There are 4 of the original 6 top prizes still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 15.7% change since launch. Among the 16 active $5 games in New Jersey, Super Crossword ranks #11 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Super Crossword ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Big Money Spectacular ($2) + 1x Loose Change ($1). This combination delivers $2.94 in expected value compared to $2.87 for the single ticket — a 2.3% improvement. It also gives you a 51.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.7% with the single ticket.
