How to Play Cashword Times 5
Players will need to purchase Cashword Times 5 in store at their local lottery retailer. If you have trouble finding one, simply check out the Michigan Lottery website for one nearest you.
Once you scratch the ticket, you will reveal 20 call letters. Simply match the call letters to the corresponding letters in both of the puzzles.
If you happen to reveal four or more completed words amongst both puzzles, you will win a prize according to the prize table. These do not include matches for yellow, blue, or pink words.
Keep in mind that only the highest matching prize can be won. So, words within a word do not count.
If you manage to have a completed word in either blue, yellow, or pink, you will win a prize according to the table. The entire word has to be a certain color, so words that use those letters do not count for that prize. If you reveal a bonus multiplier, then you will increase your prize earnings by that amount.
