A 74-year-old Grand Rapids man realizes how lucky he really is. The anonymous player recently purchased a handful of the newest scratch-off games called Jumbo Cash.
After scratching his tickets, he was beginning to throw away each one he thought was a loser. But, he decided to check one more time and realized that one of them was worth $500,000.
- Top Prize: $500,000
- Price: $5.00
- Overall Odds: 1 in 4.17
How to Play
To begin, players will have to look for the winning numbers by scratching off the material. Then, you would need to scratch the section of your numbers to see if there is a match.
There are bonus symbols that could help you out if you happen to see them on your ticket. For example, if you manage to reveal a single dollar bill symbol, then you will win $50 automatically on the spot.
Another symbol to look out for is the Jumbo Win, which is a $100 bill symbol. This prize is actually worth $200 instead of what the symbol implies.
On top of all that, there is a spot sometimes for a bonus spot where a star might appear. If a star appears, you will win whatever prize is associated with that symbol on your ticket.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize in this game are 1 in 4.17. To up the odds, while playing, you could look to purchase an additional ticket.
Before buying another ticket, keep in mind that each one costs you five dollars to play. Make sure your budget can withstand multiple purchases if you land in doing this method.
