(10) Determination of Prizewinners.

(a) There are two (2) crossword games on each ticket: PUZZLE 1 and PUZZLE 2. Each PUZZLE is played separately. Words formed in one PUZZLE cannot be used in the other PUZZLE. Each PUZZLE has its own corresponding prizes for the number of words formed in a PUZZLE.

(b) PUZZLE 1 and 2. A player whose letters in the "YOUR LETTERS" play area matching the letters in a PUZZLE to form three (3) or more words in a PUZZLE play area shall entitle the player to the corresponding prize in the respective PUZZLE PRIZE KEY 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 the 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 PUZZLE 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 PUZZLE. 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.

(e) For PUZZLE 1 and PUZZLE 2 game play, only the highest prize won is paid in each crossword puzzle. A player may win in both PUZZLE 1 and PUZZLE 2.

(f) X MULTIPLIER Box. Players are to scratch the X MULTIPLIER box to reveal a X MULTIPLIER symbol and X MULTIPLIER symbol caption and multiply any prize won in PUZZLE 1 or PUZZLE 2 by the multiplier number.

(g) FAST BONUS Box. Players having two (2) like FAST BONUS prize symbols and symbol captions in the FAST BONUS play area shall entitle the player to the prize shown. The FAST BONUS play area is played separately from the PUZZLES.
