$500,000 Mega Crossword — $10 Pennsylvania Scratch-Off #1492
As of October 14, 2026, $500,000 Mega Crossword ($10, #1492) still has 2 $500,000 top prizes unclaimed. It is #44 of 207 Pennsylvania scratch-offs on our list (games with a top prize still unclaimed first, by the size of that top prize, then by how many are left, then by the better overall odds). Pennsylvania prints its overall odds as 1 in 3.58.
Pennsylvania marks this game as reordered: more tickets were printed to meet demand, which adds prizes as well as tickets without changing the overall chances. A count here can go up, not only down.
No payout figure, on purpose. Pennsylvania publishes only its top six prize levels per game, and how many of each are left, but not how many were printed. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Pennsylvania we show exactly what its lottery publishes and compute nothing from it. A figure built from part of a table would be wrong, not rough: it is how one state's partial table produced games that appeared to pay back more than they cost. How we treat partial prize tables.
