CASHINGO
(Instant Scratch Game # 2053)
- The theme and name of the game: CASHINGO. Scratch the YOUR LETTERS box to reveal your 18 letters. Scratch only the letters in each WORD that match those in the YOUR LETTERS box. If you reveal 1 or more complete WORDS, win the prize indicated in the WORD PRIZE KEY. Scratch the corresponding box below each of the uncovered letters that were matched with a letter in the uncovered YOUR LETTERS play area in WORD 1 to WORD 4 to reveal a bingo number. Scratch the numbers on BINGO CARDS 1 and 2 that match the bingo numbers revealed below the uncovered letters in WORD 1 to WORD 4. Scratch the FREE spaces on both BINGO CARDS. Each FREE space is a free match. On any one BINGO CARD, match all bingo numbers in a complete horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line; or all 4 Corners; or a complete "X" (8 numbers + "FREE" space), to win prize indicated in the corresponding prize legend for each BINGO CARD. Combine your WORD PRIZE with your BINGO PRIZE(S) to determine your total prize won. Each BINGO CARD is played separately.
- The price of tickets: Three dollars ($3.00), or as otherwise set by the Administrator.
The prize structure including the number and value of prizes and the odds on each prize are as follows:

Entry or non-entry of CASHINGO tickets to the Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings does not affect the prize structure of the CASHINGO game.
- The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the CASHINGO game, however, for a period of time, at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator CASHINGO tickets may count towards entry in Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings. The Wisconsin Lottery will not be responsible for any neglect, failure or omission on the part of the U.S. Postal Service or any other delivery/courier service used to deliver a player's Super 2nd Chance Drawing mailing to the Wisconsin Lottery. The Lottery assumes no responsibility or liability for Super 2nd Chance tickets that are lost, or destroyed or otherwise disqualified from participation in a drawing when such tickets are in the control of the Lottery. All tickets sent to the Wisconsin Lottery to enter the Super 2nd Chance drawings become property of the Wisconsin Lottery and will not be returned. Only tickets sent to and received at the correct address for entry into the Super 2nd Chance drawing will be eligible for the Super 2nd Chance drawing.
- The method of selecting winners: The holder of a ticket where the letters in the uncovered YOUR LETTERS play area match the letters in the WORD play areas to complete one (1) or more complete WORDS shall win the prize shown in the WORD PRIZE KEY for that same number of complete WORDS.
The possible complete WORDS on a ticket will be shown in each WORD play area. Each possible complete WORD consists of five (5) letters. Letters in each WORD play area combined to form a complete word must appear in a continuous horizontal (from left to right) sequence in the word space for each WORD, and must completely fill that word space. A word within a complete word such as “cab” within “cabin” is not a complete WORD, since it does not completely fill the word space. Letters forming a WORD filling a complete word space can only be used to form one (1) complete WORD. Complete words cannot be formed in the WORD play areas by linking letters diagonally or vertically crossing through multiple WORDS, or by reading the letters from right to left. The YOUR LETTERS play area must contain all of the letters in a possible complete WORD in order to form that WORD.
Each letter forming a WORD within a WORD play area has one (1) corresponding bingo number (a bingo-letter and number combination) located in the uncovered play spot located immediately below that same letter. Each bingo number located immediately below an individual letter in a WORD that matches a letter in the uncovered YOUR LETTERS play area may be used to play the BINGO CARD play areas of that ticket. Only the bingo numbers below matched letters in the WORD play areas, as previously described in these features and procedures, may be used to play the BINGO CARD play areas. Any bingo number located below a letter (in a WORD) that does not match a letter in the YOUR LETTERS play area cannot be used to play the BINGO CARD play areas.
The holder of a ticket where the bingo numbers below the matched letters in the WORD play areas (as previously described in these features and procedures) match the bingo numbers of either of the two (2) BINGO CARDS in the designated winning pattern shall win the prize shown for that same CARD and that same pattern.
Winning patterns in the play area of any one BINGO CARD must be five (5) matches in either a vertical, horizontal or diagonal straight line; or four (4) matches in each corner (i.e. one (1) match in each of the four (4) corners); or five (5) matches in a straight line diagonally in each direction, in an "X" pattern.
The FREE space in the play area of each BINGO CARD is a free match and may count towards a winning pattern.
A winning ticket can win only the highest prize shown in the WORD PRIZE KEY for that same number of completed WORDS as previously described in these features and procedures.
A winning ticket can win only one (1) prize on each BINGO CARD, but a prize can be won on both BINGO CARDS provided that each BINGO CARD has a winning pattern as previously described in these features and procedures.
A prize can be won in the WORD PRIZE KEY, BINGO CARD 1, and/or BINGO CARD 2. - The method of making payments to winners:

Upon claiming a prize, a winner waives any claims against the Lottery and its representatives for any and all liability which may result from the disclosure or use of such information.
