Mystery Crossword — $10 Oklahoma Scratcher #806
Mystery Crossword (#806) is a $10 Oklahoma scratcher launched on September 11, 2025. As of October 14, 2026 it ranks #1 of 50 active games on current payout (88.3%, $8.83 expected back per ticket) and #1 of 11 $10 games, #1 on any-prize odds (1 in 2.02) and #44 on top-prize odds (—). Since launch the payout has risen 14.5 points (73.9% at launch) and your chance of winning something has risen 41.4% (1 in 2.86 at launch). 0 of 3 top prizes of $100,000 remain, and we estimate 59,768 tickets are still unsold (93.2% sold). That puts it among the best Oklahoma scratchers to buy right now. A caution on the current figures: the any-prize odds have moved from 1 in 2.86 to 1 in 2.02, further than a game's odds really move. Its prize tiers disagree about how many tickets are left (between 0.06 million and 0.12 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).
