11 New Scratch-Offs Just Launched in New York, Michigan, New Mexico, and New Jersey

Another busy launch day. On July 7, four state lotteries put out 11 new scratch-offs between them, in New York, Michigan, New Mexico, and New Jersey. The nice part for players: all four states publish full prize data, so every one of these games already has a launch ValueScore™, our 0 to 100 rating of how much a ticket is really worth (here is how it works). Anything 80 and up is rated Excellent.

The best-scoring launches of the day are New Jersey's Crossword Bonanza at 93.8, New York's MILLIONAIRE RICHES at 91.8, and New Mexico's $25,000 Grande at 90.3, all comfortably in Excellent territory. Here is the full rundown by state.

One reminder that applies to every game here: they all just launched, so every top prize is still sitting in the pool, which is the best time to be in a game. ValueScore™ already folds that fresh inventory in, so a high launch score is about as good a starting point as you will get.
