(a) There are three (3) crossword games on each ticket: GAME 1, GAME 2, and GAME 3. Each GAME is played separately. Words formed in one GAME cannot be used in either of the other GAMES. GAMES 1 and 2 use the same Prize Legend. GAME 3 has its own Prize Legend. Each Prize Legend has its own corresponding prizes for the number of words formed in a GAME.(b) GAMES 1, 2 and 3. The holder of a ticket whose letters in the "YOUR LETTERS" play area that match the letters in a GAME to form three (3) or more words in a GAME play area shall entitle the prizewinner to the corresponding prize in the respective GAME PRIZE LEGEND for the total number of words matched. A "word" must contain at least three (3) letters. A "word" cannot be formed by linking letters diagonally or by reading the letters from the bottom to top or right to left. Letters combined to form a "word" must appear in an unbroken horizontal or vertical string of letters in a GAME that are not interrupted by a blank space and must contain every single letter square between two (2) blank spaces or an edge and a blank space. Every letter in the unbroken string must be revealed in "YOUR LETTERS" and must be included to form a "word." The possible completed words are shown in each GAME. Each possible complete word consists of three (3) or more letters and occupies an entire word space. All the letters in a possible complete word must be matched in order to complete the word.(c) The prize amounts in the GAME 1 and 2 Prize Legend are: $10, $20, $500, and $10,000.(d) The prize amounts in the GAME 3 Prize Legend are: $10, $20, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $2,000,000.(e) CASHWORD MULTIPLIER. A player whose YOUR LETTERS completely match all letters in the CAHSWORD MULTIPLIER play area will then multiply the MULTIPLIER shown in the MULTIPLIER play area by a prize won, if any. The CASHWORD MULTIPLIER word cannot be applied/used in any of the three GAMEs. No GAME word can be used in the CASHWORD MULTIPLIER play area.(f) Only the highest prize won in a GAME is paid. A player may win in all three GAMES.(11) $2,000,000 Prize; Payment Options. (a) A prizewinner of a $2,000,000 prize may choose one of two payment options for receiving his/her prize. Payment options are One-Time Cash Payment or Annual Payments. At the time the $2,000,000 prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a player claim instructions ticket. The prizewinner has sixty (60) days from the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the One-Time Cash Payment. If a prizewinner does not choose the One-Time Cash Payment within the sixty (60) day timeframe, the Annual Payment option will be applied. Once the prizewinner files a claim and exercises the winner's chosen option, the election of that option shall be final. The Annual Payment method of payment will also be final when it is applied due to a $2,000,000 prize winner not making his/her payment election within sixty (60) days after the player claim instructions ticket is produced.(b) A winner of a $2,000,000 prize who elects the One-Time Cash Payment shall receive a single cash payment of $1,280,000.00, less applicable federal income tax withholding.(c) Annual Payments will be paid in twenty-five (25) equal annual installments. A prizewinner of a $2,000,000 prize who elects the Annual Payment option, or has it applied, shall receive annual installments of $80,000 per year, less applicable federal tax withholding.(12) The estimated odds of winning, value and number of prizes in Game Number 1550 are: GAME 1: PUZZLE | GAME 2: MULTIPLIER | WIN | ODDS OF 1 IN | NUMBER OF WINNERS IN 252.85 POOLS OF 120,000 TICKETS PER POOL |
