A Note about "Crossword Gems" Scratch Game in Minnesota

The state of Minnesota provides limited data on the total number of remaining prizes for prizes under $500.

Because of this, we're unable to estimate the number of remaining scratch games or calculate the current odds for prizes below $500.

For prizes over $500, the calculations are based only on the number of remaining prizes for that specific prize tier, rather than the total number of tickets left in the game. As a result, the odds displayed for these prizes will differ from the actual overall odds of winning.
