$100,000 Platinum Crossword

**What's the deal** This game is a real contender, mostly because those $100,000 top prizes are still out there – three of 'em! That's a big deal. The middle and smaller prizes are decent, too, so it feels like a pretty all-around solid ticket. It's not top-heavy or bottom-heavy; it's got a nice spread. **Who should play this** If you're dreaming of a truly life-changing win, but also appreciate a ticket that gives you some decent smaller wins along the way, this one's for you. It strikes a good balance. **Watch out for** Even with those big prizes still available, it's still a scratch-off. You might not win anything, and that's just how it goes with these games. **The bottom line** This ticket stands out because it offers a great shot at a big prize while also having a respectable showing across its other prize levels for its $10 price.
