SECTION 6. How to win: A prize winner in the scratch-off game number 987 is determined by removing the scratch-off material from the play and prize areas revealing a total of fifty-five (55) play and prize symbols as described in SECTIONS 3 and 4 of this document. Neither the retailer validation code (nor any portion thereof), the pack-ticket number (or any portion thereof), nor the validation number (or any portion thereof) are play symbols or prize symbols and are not usable or playable as such.

In "GAME 1", each row of two (2) play symbols and one (1) prize symbol constitutes a separate and independent game labeled "HAND 1", "HAND 2", "HAND 3", or "HAND 4". In each "HAND", if "YOUR CARD" play symbol beats the "DEALER'S CARD" play symbol, the ticket holder is entitled to win the corresponding prize shown.

In "GAME 2", each row of two (2) play symbols and one (1) prize symbol constitutes a separate and independent game. If "YOUR NUMBER" play symbol is higher than "THEIR NUMBER" play symbol within a game, the ticket holder is entitled to win the corresponding prize shown.

In "GAME 3", if three (3) identical prize amounts are revealed, the ticket holder is entitled to win that amount. If two (2) identical prize amounts and a "065080691ERA11.gif" (bar) symbol are revealed, the ticket holder is entitled to win double the prize amount.

In "GAME 4", if any of the "YOUR NUMBERS" play symbols match the "WINNING NUMBER" play symbol, the ticket holder is entitled to win the prize shown for that number. If a "065080691ERA12.gif" (bell) symbol is revealed, the ticket holder is entitled to win all six (6) prizes shown in this game automatically.

In "GAME 5", if three (3) identical symbols are revealed in the same row, column, or diagonal line, the ticket holder is entitled to win the prize shown.

SECTION 7. Prize structure: Top prize of two million dollars ($2,000,000) will be paid out as an annuity, in annual installments over thirty (30) years. The possible winning prize combinations are as follows:

Total value of all prizes*: $21,745,400
Prize payout: 75.50%
Overall odds: 1 in 3.05
Approximate print quantity: 960,000 (-3%/+1%)

*The number and total value of prizes in this game are based on the approximate print quantity with a variance as stated above. Should the print quantity be changed for production of this game or subsequent reorders, the ratio of prizes and total value of all prizes to print quantity will be proportionately maintained and the overall odds and prize payout percentage will remain the same. Overall odds are determined by dividing the approximate total number of tickets by the approximate total number of prizes available.

Prizes subject to prior sales.

SECTION 8. If the director determines an end date for scratch-off game number 987 under 65 IAC 4-2-3(a), tickets may remain on sale during the game closing process even if all prizes of two million dollars ($2,000,000) have been claimed. Game may be closed prior to all prizes being awarded.
