Texas Lottery Rule, 401.302, Instant Game Rules, these Game Proce-
dures, and the requirements set out on the back of each Instant Ticket.
A prize winner in the "JINGLE BELL CROSSWORD" Instant Game
is determined once the latex on the Ticket is scratched off to expose up
to 98 (ninety-eight) possible Play Symbols. The player must scratch
only the letters in the puzzle that match those in the YOUR LETTERS
play area. Scratch only the letters in the puzzle that match those in
the YOUR LETTERS play area. The player must scratch each of the
BELL and WREATH Play Symbols in the puzzle. Each BELL and
WREATH Play Symbol is a Free Match and counts as a matched letter
in that possible complete "word". If a player reveals 3 or more com-
plete "words" in the puzzle, the player wins prize in the PRIZE KEY.
If a player wins in the puzzle and any one of the completed "words"
has a "BELL" Play Symbol in the word, the player wins DOUBLE the
prize in the PRIZE KEY. If a player wins in the puzzle and any one
of the completed "words" has a "WREATH" Play Symbol in the word,
the player wins TRIPLE the prize in the PRIZE KEY. The player must
scratch the BONUS spot and if the player reveals a dollar amount, the
player wins that amount instantly! There will be only one prize per
Ticket. Letters combined to form a complete "word" must be revealed
in an unbroken horizontal (left to right) sequence or vertical (top to
bottom) sequence of letters including the BELL and WREATH sym-
bols within the puzzle. Only letters within the puzzle that are matched
with YOUR LETTERS and BELL and WREATH symbols can be used
to from a complete "word". Words within words are not eligible for a
prize. For example, all the YOUR LETTERS Play Symbols "S, T, O,
N, E" must be revealed for this to count as one complete "word". TON,
ONE or any other portion of the sequence of STONE would not count
as a complete "word". A complete "word" must contain at least three
letters. No portion of the Display Printing nor any extraneous matter
whatsoever shall be usable or playable as a part of the Instant Game.
