Triple Crossword — $3 Florida Scratch-Off #1497
Triple Crossword (#1497) is a $3 Florida scratch-off launched on August 16, 2021. As of September 9, 2026 it ranks #1 of 84 active games on current payout (102.7%, $3.08 expected back per ticket) and #1 of 5 $3 games, #1 on any-prize odds (1 in 1.89) and #81 on top-prize odds (—). Since launch the payout has risen 33.0 points (69.7% at launch) and the any-prize odds have improved 53.9% (1 in 4.09 at launch). 0 of 30 top prizes of $150,000 remain, and we estimate 1,713,353 tickets are still unsold (96.9% sold). That puts it among the best Florida scratch-offs to buy right now. Note: a payout above 100% means the unclaimed prizes are worth more than the remaining tickets cost. That is genuinely possible this far into a game's run, but it is also where our ticket-count estimate is weakest, so read it as "unusually rich", not as a guarantee (how we calculate this).
