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 CallerÕs Card. If they find a diagonal, vertical or horizontal straight line, 4 corners of the grid, an X or a Connect (+) pattern, they win a prize according to the legend of the respective playing grid. A base tint will be printed in a "Connect" (+) pattern. 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. 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.
