(a) There are two (2) crossword games on each ticket: GAME 1 and GAME 2. Each GAME is played separately. Words formed in one GAME cannot be used in the other GAME. Both GAMEs use the same PRIZE LEGEND. The PRIZE LEGEND lists corresponding prizes for the number of words formed in a GAME.

(b) GAMEs 1and 2. A ticket having letters in the “YOUR LETTERS” play area that match the letters in a GAME to form three (3) or more words in that GAME shall entitle the player to the corresponding prize in the 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 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 to complete the word.

(c) If a completed word in a GAME includes a symbol, the player is entitled to five (5) times the corresponding prize shown, if any, in the PRIZE LEGEND for the total number of words completed in that GAME.

(d) Possible prizes in the PRIZE LEGEND: $10, $20, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $2,000,000.

(e) Only the highest prize won in a GAME is paid. A player may win in both GAMEs.

(f) BONUS Play Area. A ticket having a prize symbol and corresponding symbol caption showing a dollar amount in the BONUS play area shall entitle the player to the cash prize shown.

(10) $2,000,000 Prize; Payment Options.

(a) A winner 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 winner 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 winner does not choose the One-Time Cash Payment within the sixty (60) day timeframe, the Annual Payment option will be applied. Once the winner files a claim and exercises his/her 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 $1,195,000.00, less applicable federal income tax withholding.

(c) Annual Payments will be paid in twenty-five (25) equal annual installments. A winner 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.
