Top Prize: $500,000

How to Play
Blizzard Bucks is an in-store lottery game that requires you to scratch off the ticket. If you are not sure where to purchase, try checking with your local lottery retailer or online by using the search tool to locate a retailer near you.
Once you have purchased your ticket and have removed the layer to scratch, you would need to see if any of your numbers happen to match any of the winning numbers. If there are any matches, you will win the prize below that particular match.
There are not a lot of bonus symbols other than the snowflake and multiplier. If you reveal a snowflake, you win that prize on the spot.
As for the 10x multiplier, you will win ten times a winning prize amount. In the bonus spots, if you happen to reveal a “$10”, “$20,” or “$50” prize symbol, then you get to win that prize on the spot.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize in Blizzard Bucks are one in 3.98. To slightly increase these chances, you could look into purchasing an additional ticket. Keep in mind that each ticket costs five dollars each, so this can add up quickly.
The recent winner was able to find the first jackpot ticket of this game. Other top prizes are available, such as the $2,000, but only three out of the original 10 remain.
As you can see below, there is only one jackpot prize remaining. There is quite a big drop-off between the jackpot and the $2,000 second prize. So purchasing a second ticket might be beneficial in a search for the top prize.
| Prize | Remaining | Start |
|---|---|---|
| $500,000 | 1 | 2 |
| $2,000 | 3 | 10 |
