| Prize | Code | Other Code Combinations |
|---|---|---|
Warning: The Lottery does not encourage players to rely solely on these codes when determining the value of a ticket. Please play responsibly. Notes: The codes pertain to prizes of $600 or less. Anything over $600 must be claimed at a Lottery Customer Service Center. That is the only information that I have regarding this state. Please feel free to post a comment with any information that you may have.

Congrats! – I’ve added it to the page.

New York lottery is going to phase out all the letters on all scratch off tickets. They have started it already.
The codes on the Instant Game tickets are used for validation and security
purposes. The letter codes on the tickets are not meant for a player’s use. In
fact, we are in the process of phasing out the codes on our tickets.
3:33 PM on September 7th, 2011
It is now September and all new games continue to have the codes, except for Casino Cashword
10:07 AM on March 22nd, 2011
Why eliminate the codes?? It saves a lot of scratching. Also $12= TWL the only way you can win with an “L” in the code, almost threw one out when I saw the “L”
10:13 AM on March 22nd, 2011
I’ve added $12 to the page. The codes are not designed to eliminate the need to scratch the ticket. I would not recommend this method.
12:38 PM on January 15th, 2012
I used to think the same thing but I won $2,000 and the code was LMN, which is always almost a loser.. I was hopin someone knows the codes for over 600 cause IM confused how I had that code on a winner
9:33 PM on March 22nd, 2011
I would have to say that it would be a good idea if the extended play tickets still have the codes.
It’s easier to double-check a match-a-number for a winner than it is to double-check a cashword. Just look at the Casino Cashword, which uses no letters. Imagine the number of small winners that could be thrown out because people miss one letter on the puzzle.
And:
$21 = TON (Not used frequently except for some 7′s themed tickets)
11:45 AM on March 26th, 2011
ive seen the codes TKF on the scratch game for a free quick pick take five game
1:38 PM on May 26th, 2011
Intention is FTK for Free TicKet abbreviation
12:40 PM on January 6th, 2012
On Take 5 tickets means a free play on a Take 5 nightly game
6:05 PM on March 31st, 2011
$40 is actually APZ NOT ZAP
9:07 AM on April 1st, 2011
fixed
1:39 PM on May 26th, 2011
$11 on a bing ticket was ELV
11:39 PM on June 1st, 2011
What does fhv mean on a lottery ticket
9:31 AM on June 3rd, 2011
you win $500
2:42 PM on June 6th, 2011
ive seen $165 is FOS and 150 is AOQ
7:35 AM on June 7th, 2011
$165 abbreviation could actually be OSF one hundred sixty five
7:36 AM on June 7th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
9:47 PM on June 21st, 2011
this is an advice from an expert player to people who play ny scratch offs by the codes. never throw a ticket away when you see a combination of 3 letters of klmnpqty when you just scratch it by the codes.because you can be throwing away a big winner.ive seen big winner tickets with loser letters. but its rare to win big.but the majority of the times they are losers when you play them.but you still shouldn’t go by it.you can scan the white barcode in the scratch area to find out or just play the game by scratching everything. combinations of codes with these letters of abefghiorsuvwxz are winners and mixed with some losers letters are also winners but for prizes $600 and less. who knows how many big winners have been tossed out because of the loser letter codes. that’s the reason why many tickets with top prizes remain unclaimed.
12:10 PM on June 27th, 2011
Not the only reason tickets go unclaimed, some stores return unopened books when games are closing. NY also has one of the lowest “payback” percentages in the country,three of us bought a $500 book of “Million Bucks” and the return on investment was $275 or 54% While Arizona, and Florida return almost 65% on the same investment.
3:35 PM on June 28th, 2011
thank u for that
9:57 AM on August 11th, 2011
wtf is an expert lotto scratch off player?
7:32 PM on August 23rd, 2011
Technically, by the rules set by the legislature, 65% of the money raised by the instant tickets are to be returned to the players in the form of prizes. That doesn’t mean you can buy a book of 250 Loose Change $1 tickets and expect to get $162 of it back. That means of the millions of tickets produced, 65% of the monies will go back to the players.
10:59 AM on June 30th, 2011
You are welcome, also, and finally the winning percentages are actually somewhat lower because they consider you a “winner” if you purchase a $5 dollar ticket and get back $5 for your trouble. Even a racetrack gives you at least something back on your investment before calling you a “winner”
2:08 PM on July 2nd, 2011
i saw bom for $121 on a 7 11 21 bonus ticket a few yrs ago
8:46 AM on July 5th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
2:41 PM on July 13th, 2011
I encountered the code “TTO” yesterday and started to sweat because I never saw it before. Turns out it was a twenty two dollar winner. Hope that helps!
3:42 PM on July 13th, 2011
What game??
5:38 PM on July 13th, 2011
Money snatch. I mean match! MONEY MATCH
I’m so funny.. I know :P
5:43 PM on July 13th, 2011
OK funny man… I’ve updated the page.
3:54 PM on July 18th, 2011
actually $90 is ayz $120 amo told by a clerk but not sure for $121 probably bmo
8:25 AM on July 19th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve made the changes.
12:12 AM on July 20th, 2011
Does TNY mean anything?
5:14 PM on August 8th, 2011
TNY = Loser. So is LTY and PTY.
9:55 AM on September 18th, 2011
I think TKN IS a winner….I just filled in 6 words on a Cashword Doubler and that was the code on the ticket. According to the ledger….I won $25.00. I know the code for 25 used to be ZMF….maybe they changed it. I know the ticket is a winner tho!
12:09 AM on September 24th, 2011
25 is zmf those 3 letters win that all the time tmk and tny mean loser and ptn is also a loser i worked for a lotto retailer i have all the codes they are losers
5:27 PM on July 26th, 2011
So that game Money Match has a lot of strange prizes.. 22, 23, 42 dollars.. If I see any more new codes, ill let you know.. Next update is that a twenty three dollar winner is TTE. Good luck!
9:36 AM on July 27th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
5:29 PM on July 26th, 2011
Also important to note is that every big winner on an instant game will have a losing code in NY.
4:41 PM on August 2nd, 2011
Why??
4:42 PM on August 2nd, 2011
The codes pertain to prizes of $600 or less.
1:38 PM on July 27th, 2011
ZAS = 80 dollar winner :)
2:53 PM on July 27th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
12:24 AM on August 3rd, 2011
Get this: CZN is the code for a 32 dollar winner. I’d have a heart attack if I saw that lmao
Again the source is money match :&
8:05 AM on August 3rd, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
10:13 PM on August 5th, 2011
as someone who has been playing for years, the so called loser codes can be on any ticket over $600…do not scratch for just the codes, in the unlikely event you win a jackpot, it will have the same codes as the loser tickets
5:05 PM on August 8th, 2011
Money Match is a source of different codes — because the makeup of the game allows for prizes not commonly found in other games.
I found one today
2 Necklace ($40) + 2 Gift ($3)
$43 = PZD
7:24 AM on August 9th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
4:24 PM on August 9th, 2011
Money Match, 13 dollar winner is TTR :)
7:20 AM on August 10th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
10:49 PM on August 11th, 2011

1:05 PM on August 12th, 2011
Are you sure that’s correct? We already have “ZAS” for $80.
12:57 PM on August 12th, 2011
saw the code sxt for $16 on aces and 8s
1:07 PM on August 12th, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
6:25 PM on October 13th, 2011
I was going through some old loser scratch offs I had in my room and because of this website I discovered I missed a number and a symbol on a couple of lottery tickets and had 25 dollars in winners sitting with the losers!
6:31 PM on October 13th, 2011
That’s awesome! That’s the reason why I made the site.
2:06 PM on October 19th, 2011
I just played a $5 double tripple cash word and won $200.00 letters are KAW. YIPPIE, Im RICH……. Now I have 200 to take to Atlantic City. Good luck all. happy scratching.
2:17 PM on October 19th, 2011
Congrats! We already have that code listed above though.
5:16 PM on October 26th, 2011
This afternoon I gave my friends son a stack of old “loser” scratch offs to play with. After leaving my house they had to stop at the store just up the block and he tried scanning the tickets. Low and behold he got $10. i know its not a lot but i checked and rechecked those tickets. How did I miss that? Is it even possible for the ticket to be a winner if it didnt have matching numbers? It was a “$500 A Week For Life”.
11:34 PM on October 28th, 2011
all those second chance tickets i have put in tops super market (second chance box) with losing codes could have been winners? I never win the second chance even though one time after a year i stuffed the box full. So you are saying a big jackpot scratch off will not show any special code to indicate it’s value is a big winner. are you also saying that before i try for the second chance prize, i should have them run through the cash register scanner? Also, if i win big, can i have my card verified by the lottery machine or will it cause a problem after they scan it?
6:14 PM on October 30th, 2011
when you play the sweepstakes on scratch offs and you enter them in the database (the website)by the serial number they are automatically losers because if it were a winner it wouldn’t accept it because it only accepts losers it says it in the rules. by the way yes prizes over $600 have loser codes so always double check or scan the white barcode if you aren’t sure good luck
6:20 PM on October 30th, 2011
many times i have found winner tickets tossed out in the trash because many people don’t know how to play them. i have the hobby of ticket fishing. searching for them in the trash over 2 years Ive found more than $1000 in scratch offs
4:18 PM on October 31st, 2011
just saw these codes 400 is AKU and 60 APS
4:41 PM on October 31st, 2011
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
12:34 PM on November 6th, 2011
i ahve a ny poker scratch off ticket with code MLP does that mean “million prize”.. the champions hand is a pair of jacks and one of my players has K A 2 3 4 – straight
I just dont know if i can start with King and then ace 2 3 4 is my straight. It says on back of card ANY 5 Consecutive cards.
I will go and check/ scan at the store but its a ny card and im in nj right now.
I feel i might have the winner?????
3:34 PM on December 25th, 2011
marc is it a winner? i have that same exact situation, same game. my only problem is that today is christmas and machines are closed.
4:41 PM on January 29th, 2012
Nope, that would not be a winner. Like in the real game of Poker, the K-A-2-3-4 would only be a high card Ace, because a straight needs to be consecutive, and not consisting of a string of the high cards and the low cards.
A-2-3-4-5 is a straight, only because in that instance you are playing the Ace as a low card 1, instead of high card.
11:30 PM on December 10th, 2011
I got the game “empire state millionaire”. None of my numbers match but there are 2 JACKPOTs on the card. The 3 letters on the card are TYM. Gonna check it just incase
9:34 PM on December 11th, 2011
I got 3 $40.00 and it says Z A P. I’m rich! :) Thank you lottery !!
1:04 AM on December 14th, 2011
I had the letter LTN in the bingo boxes scratch. I scanned and said invalid code bar. I would like to know what that mean?
12:07 PM on January 28th, 2012
Gotta be careful. I won a million dollar jackpot back in 2008 on Big Bucks in NY. After it set in, I couldn’t wait to check the code. It was MTY. That is also on a lot of losing tickets.
4:05 PM on February 4th, 2012
Does anyone know the code for $88?
1:31 PM on February 7th, 2012
Just played $2 scratch off Hot Cash and won $8.00. Code EGH was on the card.
11:57 PM on February 9th, 2012
does anyone know the code for $45
8:40 PM on February 20th, 2012

7:20 AM on February 21st, 2012
