The number that moves

Launch odds vs. real odds on Bonus Word Crossword

The odds printed on Bonus Word Crossword were set the day it went to print and they never move. The real odds do, every single day, as prizes get claimed and tickets sell. When the 50000 prizes get scooped up faster than the tickets sell, the real odds on that top prize get worse than what’s on the front. When tickets sell faster than the big prizes go, they get better. With 6 of 8 top prizes still out there, whether Bonus Word Crossword is worth your money comes down to the odds today, and that’s the number members see.
