- Price: $5.00

How to Play
Diamond Spectacular is another easy-to-play game that is in-store only. The information needed to play will be located on the ticket.
To begin, players must scratch off the material to reveal numbers. Located at the top, you will find bonus spots containing $10, $20, and $50, and if revealed, you would win that specific amount.
If you happen to match any of your numbers to the Diamond winning numbers, then you will receive the prize that is shown.
There are some multipliers to look out for to potentially enhance your winnings. Specifically, there are 10x and 20x, which means if revealed, they will multiply your earnings by 10 or 20 times the prize amount.
Bonus symbols are excellent in this game. If you reveal a double diamond symbol, then you will win all 12 prizes shown.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize for this game are 1 in 4.10. To increase your chances of winning, you would need to purchase an additional ticket.
At $5 a ticket, this method could add up quickly for a lot of players. Make sure you have your budget figured out before buying additional tickets.
The table below shows what has been won and the prizes available. As you can see, the lucky player was able to win the first jackpot prize, meaning there are two other jackpot prizes out there still.
The second highest prize is $2,000, but half of them have already been claimed. This makes it more appealing to hunt for the jackpot since a lot of tickets have already been sold.
