Here's How to Play
This is a two-part vertically oriented game. The first part is the Caller's Card, which contains twenty-six (26) draw numbers and five (5) BONUS NUMBERS, covered by an opaque scratch-off material. The second part consists of eight (8) Bingo Cards each containing twenty-four (24) numbers plus a free space on a 5 x 5 grid covered by a transparent scratch-off material. Players win by matching the numbers on the eight (8) Bingo Cards to the numbers on the Caller's Card. If they find a diagonal, vertical or horizontal straight line, four corners of the grid, an X, or blackout the card, they win a prize according to the legend of the respective playing grid. The eight (8) Bingo Cards will be printed in two (2) different display colors. A transparent tinted scratch-off material will be laid over the top of each of the eight (8) Bingo Cards after the variable imaging, clearly allowing the imaged number to show through. The tint will create still another color change on each of the cards. When any of the numbers are scratched, the transparent tinted material will be removed, revealing the previous display color. Players can win up to eight (8) times on a ticket but only one (1) prize may be claimed on each of Cards 1 through 8.
