Each game card contains four symbol spots. For each Eligible ticket entered, and regardless of ticket price/value, the player will be randomly awarded either 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 symbols towards completing the game cards. Awarded symbols will be placed randomly on available game cards. When all four symbols have been collected on a game card, the player will earn one "entry" into the next available drawing. When a filled game card generates an entry into the drawing, the symbols will be cleared on that game card, and a player can begin collecting more symbols on the card. A player may earn multiple entries during an entry period; however, a player can only win one draw prize per entry.(b) Players may enter Eligible ticket/s during a Drawing Entry Period at any time during that Drawing Entry Period, except that entry capabilities on the website and App will be unavailable from 12 a.m. through 6 a.m. ET due to routine maintenance and may be unavailable at other times if there are technical difficulties.
