The Nebraska lottery's own prizes-remaining data shows a top prize of $100K claimed on $100,000 Crossword Craze, a $10 scratch-off. 19 of the 48 printed now remain.

The change appeared in the published data on August 17, 2026. Lotteries publish with a lag, so the prize itself may have been claimed a day or more earlier. The figures do not say who claimed it or where, and neither do we.

Overall odds on $100,000 Crossword Craze are 1 in 3.30. They were fixed at printing and describe the whole run, including every prize already claimed.

The lottery no longer lists this game.

What this does not say

That any ticket is a good buy. Every scratch game returns less than it takes in, with or without its top prize.

Scratch Better is not affiliated with any state lottery and does not sell tickets. Rankings are relative, not a guaranteed edge.
