Z A P letters $40.00
ZAP = $40.00? That sounds weird.
$1.00 = ONE
$3.00 = THR
$14.00 = FRT
$15.00 = FTN
$17.00 = SVT
$25.00 = FMZ
$30.00 = ANZ
$34.00 = THF
$35.00 = FNZ
$50.00 = FTY

$100.00 = HUN

$200.00 = AKW
$250.00 = TOV
$300.00 = AKR
$500.00 = FVH
$600.00 = AKA
Thanks! I’ve consolidated all your comments into one and I’ll add everything soon.
Just got a 75 dollar winner, it was FTZ
Congrats! – I’ve added it to the page.
$12= TWL the only way you can win with an “L” in the code, almost threw one out when I saw the “L”
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.
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 on a bing ticket was ELV
ive seen $165 is FOS and 150 is AOQ
$165 abbreviation could actually be OSF one hundred sixty five
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
i saw bom for $121 on a 7 11 21 bonus ticket a few yrs ago
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
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!
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
actually $90 is ayz $120 amo told by a clerk but not sure for $121 probably bmo
Thanks – I’ve made the changes.
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!
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
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 :&
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
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
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
Money Match, 13 dollar winner is TTR 🙂
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
i just won $80.00 on the $2 money match.. code was x.a.z
saw the code sxt for $16 on aces and 8s
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
just saw these codes 400 is AKU
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
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
Eleven has an L in the code, not just twelve!
New $5,000,000 cash game – SZA was $60 winner.
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
With that $60 I bought a mega money multiplier and won another $60, also has sza. They must have changed it.
also had a new $5m game with SZA and it was a $60 winner.
Anything over $24 in New York has an entirely different method.
If a ticket is $25 or more, the first letter will be Z (Zero), O (One), W (tWo), R (thRee), U (foUr) and V (fiVe). Then the next letter indicates the 10’s place, and the final letter represents the one’s place. Theoretically, “ZKA” means “000.”
Here it is…
$0 – Z
$100 – O
$200 – W
$300 – R
$400 – U
$500 – V
$10 – K
$20 – L
$30 – M
$40 – N
$50 – P
$60 – S
$70 – T
$80 – X
$90 – Y
$0 – A
$1 – B
$2 – C
$3 – D
$4 – E
$5 – F
$6 – G
$7 – H
$8 – I
$9 – J
So $40 would be ZNA; $165 would be OSF; $250 would be WPA, and $599 would be VYJ. A losing ticket or anything over $600 would likely have two or more letters in the same column (so MLN would likely fit into this pattern as a losing ticket). The only exceptions are $50 (FTY, not ZPA), $100 (HUN, not OKA) and $500 (FVH, not VKA).
please then explain $25 being FMZ or ZFM makes absolutely no sense
some of the letters must be off in your calculation as I just won $30 and the code was “ZAN” and I know that “ZAP” is $40.
looks like it should have read:
$00 – K
$10 – L
$20 – M
$30 – N
$40 – P
$50 – Q
$60 – S
$70 – T
$80 – X
$90 – Y
KABOOMB!!! K.A.R. confirmed at $300 🙂
TFR-24
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
Got TNR on a ticket today. Looks like a $24 winner. Will update if it’s something different when I cash it in. It’s on the new $3 game so they may have changed the code.
$18 winner yesterday, EGT
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
They did change codes, I just won $60 with SZA
Old codes it would have been $80
Now 80 has a X in it
Lost with an HTR
So, it wasn’t $3.00?
i remember $19 was nit on a find the 9s ticket
Thanks – I’ve updated the page.
111.00=olb 112-olc 115-olf
2100 kql110-olaI added your codes Sue, but the codes only apply to prizes of $600 or less.
what about FOW
What was tnr got same thing. On the 3.00 ticket.
45.00 is fpz
Thanks – I’ve added it to the page.
NO DOUBT… Came through in the clutch!! lol
Can someone tell me why there is NO letter code on the new NY scratch offs “PAY ME!” and “MILLION DOLLAR MONEY STACK”? Never seen this before.
That’s a new trend to get people to scratch off the ticket. I read recently that NY has over $28 million in uncollected winnings. I had a Black Diamond winner for $2000 with a code P-L-Y, next time I had a BD loser with a code P-L-Y!!! Play the game!!!!!!!
I read in a local paper that a big prize winner ($300K) said that the code on his ticket was P-A-Y… I wonder if this holds true for anything over $600 that has to be brought to a redemption center.
@Jamie, I have never seen any NY scratch off ticket that lacks a 3 letter code…. scratch it bare and check all the fields, they are not always in the payout field and some tickets have the letters in the game field. Good Luck!
Jamie
I just scratched a MORE CASH, PAY ME and MILLION DOLLAR MONEY STACK. None of these tickets had a code anywhere on the face of the ticket. This is so odd and does it mean anything?
The same thing happened to me Flo…I just came online to see why the More Cash ticket I scratched has no letters….I’m very familiar with the code letters for 20 years, and I find it odd that there aren’t any on this ticket….thinking it’s a fake!!
I bought some scratch off tickets that don’t have letters on them. They were $2,500 a week for life tickets. How do I know for sure they weren’t winners????
Take them in and have them scanned by a lottery retailer if you don’t know for sure.
Does a new York state lottery ticket HAVE to have a three letter code on it by law??? Please and thanks for any reply’s!!!
No letters required – see the 2011 post above about the Casino Cashword ticket. If I remember correctly, the odd shape of the play areas on those (they resembled the suits of cards) left little room where ther letters would have fit without conflicting with the letters for the puzzle.
I think that was the only one until the current ones without them.
Perhaps now that all the tickets have the bar code you can scan to check them (so you know if they win or not) they figure the letters are not as needed (though keeping them on the Bingo, Cashword etc. type tickets would be handy for a quick double check).
It does appear as if the lottery is starting to phase out lottery validation codes, win or lose. You may want to hold onto tickets without codes and take them to a scanner for verification.
As of July 31st 2013, all scratch off tickets printed after this date will no longer have the letter codes on them.
They no longer have the codes, it’s not a fake if you’re worried about that I work for a noco gas station, and even the new 2 dollar version of the win for life doesn’t have any 3 letter code. But you can always get a lottery inquiry check done to just see if it is a winner good luck.
not true, brand new word game ($3) has the codes
Non of the new scratch off games come with codes. So i advice you scan until it say winner if you’re not sure.
All I know about codes over $600 is the $10,000 prize has a “Q” as part of the code.
$250 (officially, by a sheet the NYL added to the agents’ news letter years back) is “TVO”, not “WQA”
$24 is “TNR” (TRN,NRT,NTR,RNT,RTN)
Thanks – I’ve added that as a new code.
They have retained the letter codes for Bingos, Cashwords and Keno games. (Perhaps others, too) These are games where you really need them unless you’re prepared to spend 10 minutes or more triple checking every combination.
OLF is 115.00
By the way I had a card that had try on it and was told I win $13 on a bingo.
No I have the letters wrong it should have been TKY that was the letter on it.
$63 is dzs
Thanks – I have updated the page.
Actually a few of the newer tickets in new York do not have codes on them at all… It’s dumb… I know that one example is a 3 dollar to key… Not sure if it’s the 3 dollar cash word or a different one. I work at convenient store and have seen and played many tickets.
$70 is azt
Thanks – I have updated the page.
Fqz is $55
Thanks – I have updated the page.
$130 Code found on Cashword Connect is ANO, AON, NOA, NAO, OAN, ONA
DZN is $33…
Thanks – I have updated the page.
Are U sure fmz means 25 dollars
Have a $25 winner with code FMZ…was so confused as I knew it was a winner, yet with that funky code…
