Should You Play Super Crossword Right Now?

Super Crossword is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 4 weeks. The ROI is -41.6%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $2.92 in prize value. All 6 top prizes are still available. Top prize odds are holding steady with a 17.4% change since launch. Among the 14 active $5 games in New Jersey, Super Crossword ranks #11 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Cash Lines ($3.41 EV) and 20X ($3.29 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Super Crossword ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Big Money Spectacular ($2) + 1x Loose Change ($1). This combination delivers $2.93 in expected value compared to $2.92 for the single ticket — a 0.5% improvement. It also gives you a 51.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.7% with the single ticket.
