Here in NY, the 3-letter codes I've seen are:O-N-E : $1T-W-O : $2T-H-R : $3F-O-R : $4F-I-V : $5S-I-X : $6S-E-V : $7E-G-T : $8N-I-N : $9T-E-N : $10F-T-N : $15S-V-T : $17T-W-N : $20Z-M-F : $25N-A-Z : $30Z-A-P : $40F-T-Y : $50H-U-N : $100F-V-H : $500Anything above $500 would show a losing 3-letter combination...there is a specic set of these codes that often repeat in a book of tickets.

In many states, the three letter codes in the play area of scratch tickets are only to help ticket retailers confirm lower prize amounts (usually $599 and less).On larger prizes over $599 where you have to go to a lottery office for payout, the letters are meaningless. I have seen a few big winners here in Florida posted at a regional lottery office, some with the code NVF which is also a non-winning code used frequently on $599 and lower prizes.Do not go by the three letter codes because a
