CrosswordArizona Scratch-Off Odds & Prizes Remaining
The Arizona Lottery sells Crossword as a $2 ticket. By our estimate the $10,000 prize is easier to hit now than at launch: about 1 in 336,174 per ticket, down from 1 in 400,822. No $2 ticket in Arizona has better overall odds: 1 in 3.68, against 6 others at that price. 55% of its winning tickets pay $2 or less, no more than the ticket cost.
Should I Buy This Ticket?
- Top-prize odds have improved: 1 in 401K at launch, about 1 in 336K now. Tickets have sold faster than the $10,000 prizes have been claimed.
- A leaner 27% chance of winning per ticket (1 in 3.68), below most games.
- Weak prize quality: relatively few of the bigger top and mid-tier prizes are still unclaimed.

How fast it's selling
Over the last 4 weeks, about 1.1% of this game's prizes were reported claimed each week, close to the average for Arizona's $2 games (1.3% a week). By tickets sold, it is still the estimated #5 best seller of the 56 Arizona tickets we can rank, at about 89,000 tickets a week: a small share of a big print run is a lot of tickets.
From ScratchCheck's daily record of the lottery's published prize counts. Dates are when a claim first appeared in those counts, and small prizes are often cashed days after purchase, so claims trail actual sales.
