About this scratch ticket
Mystery Crossword is an active $10 California scratch ticket. This page tracks its estimated value rank, current odds, remaining prizes, top prize status, and California Lottery prize data. Mystery Crossword currently ranks lower for Best Value because its remaining prize value appears weaker after accounting for estimated ticket supply. Mystery Crossword currently has one of the stronger Any Prize Odds rankings because its estimated chance of winning any prize appears favorable compared with other tracked California scratch tickets. This appears to be a late-stage ticket with a relatively low estimated ticket supply. Late-stage games can be more sensitive to delayed prize claims or sold-but-unclaimed winning tickets.
These rankings are estimates for comparison only and can change as tickets are sold, prizes are claimed, and California Lottery data updates.
