Should You Play Crossword Right Now?

Crossword is a $3 scratch-off. The ROI is -45.1%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $1.65 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 8 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds are holding steady with a -37.6% change since launch. Among the 6 active $3 games in OK, Crossword ranks #6 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Money Comb ($1.94 EV) and Hidden Temple ($1.91 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Crossword ($3) ticket, consider buying 1x Cash Stash ($2) + 1x Lucky Duck ($1). This combination delivers $1.77 in expected value compared to $1.65 for the single ticket — a 7.7% improvement. It also gives you a 43.8% chance of winning at least one prize versus 27.2% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
