$1,000,000 BONUS CASHWORD — $10 New York Scratch-Off #1666
$1,000,000 BONUS CASHWORD (#1666) is a $10 New York scratch-off launched on July 9, 2025. As of October 25, 2026 it ranks #109 of 109 active games on current payout (44.8%, $4.48 expected back per ticket) and #16 of 16 $10 games, #105 on any-prize odds (1 in 6.85) and #31 on top-prize odds (1 in 746,412). Since launch the payout has fallen 20.1 points (64.9% at launch) and your chance of winning something has fallen 36.9% (1 in 4.32 at launch). 1 of 4 top prizes of $1,000,000 ($50K Annual Installments) remain, and we estimate 746,412 tickets are still unsold (95.9% sold). Its current figures fail our plausibility check (the caution below), so whatever its place in the list, we do not count it among the best New York scratch-offs to buy. A caution on the current figures: the any-prize odds have moved from 1 in 4.32 to 1 in 6.85, further than a game's odds really move. Its prize tiers disagree about how many tickets are left (between 0.14 million and 0.65 million), usually because small prizes are claimed late, and the current odds and payout lean on that disagreement. The printed odds are the safer guide, and our summaries do not name this game the best of anything (how we estimate).
