Fans of the “Super Crossword” scratch game have noticed there are two versions of the game in stores right now and some players have asked us what’s up with that. The quick answer is that a newer version of the game is replacing an older edition and everything is working just as it should. But here are all the details:
The lottery has dozens of games for sale at any one time, and throughout the year, we replace ending games with new ones as part of our standard procedures. We’ve blogged about that process before.
In the case of the $5 Super Crossword game, the wood-grained version of it (Game 842) began sales in March 2014. It’s been very popular and tickets in that version are nearly sold out, but some retail locations still have a supply left.
Game 842 is being replaced by Game 893, a rainbow-striped version of Super Crossword that debuted April 16. Tickets in that newer version are already on sale in many locations and will be added to our game mix in others as they run through their remaining supply of Game 842. If the last top prize in the game were to be claimed while tickets are still on hand, Game 842 would be officially ended and removed from sale.
We know you like Super Crossword, so we’re definitely keeping it in our game mix!
Hi, Amelia! Thanks for touching base with us about this! As a scratch-game player, I'm sure you've noticed that we do our best to change up the game themes, colors and play styles that we have in the market. We do our best to keep things fresh and offer variety. We love to hear suggestions about games, so I will be sure to let our game planners know that you'd like to see another $10 Bingo game!
