(c) For this game, a play/prize symbol shall appear in a minimum of 55 play spots within the play area or areas and a maximum of 67 play spots within the play area or areas. There shall be 28 play spots in game one, with four winning numbers, 12 play symbols and 12 prize symbols. In game two, there shall be 12 play symbols in the “YOUR LETTERS” section, three grid letters games and three prize symbols. Grid letters in each of the three grid letters games shall spell words of between three and nine letters each, chosen at random at the time of printing from a list of words proposed by IGT and approved by the lottery.
(d) The ticket numbers in each book of tickets in this game shall start with 000 and end with 059.
(e) The price of instant tickets sold by a retailer for this game shall be $5.00 each.
(f) “Wheel of Fortune” is a ticket with two different games, each game played separately. In GAME 1, the player will scratch the play area to reveal four “WINNING NUMBERS” and 12 “YOUR NUMBERS” with a prize amount shown below each “YOUR NUMBER.” If the player matches any of the “YOUR NUMBERS” to any of the “WINNING NUMBERS,” the player wins the amount shown below the matching “YOUR NUMBER.” If the player reveals a symbol of a wheel, the player wins double the amount shown below the symbol.
In GAME 2, the player will scratch the play area to reveal 12 “YOUR LETTERS.” Each of the “YOUR LETTERS” may be used in all three puzzle grids. A player matches the corresponding letters in all three puzzle grids by removing the translucent scratch-off material covering the matching letter. If a player scratches a complete word in any of the three puzzle grids, the player wins the corresponding prize for that grid. The entire word must be uncovered to win the corresponding prize.
(g) Each ticket in this game may win up to 15 times.
(h) Approximately 720,000 tickets shall be ordered initially for this instant game. Additional ticket orders shall have the same prize structure, the same number of prizes per prize pool of 120,000 tickets, and the same odds as were contained in the initial ticket order.
