    Odds and prize statements are based on initial game prize structure and may vary over the life of the game. Entry or non-entry of CORNER CASH CROSSWORD tickets to the Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings does not affect the prize structure of the CORNER CASH CROSSWORD game.

  4. The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the CORNER CASH CROSSWORD game, however, for a period of time, at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator CORNER CASH CROSSWORD 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.
  5. The method of selecting winners: The method of selecting winners: There is one (1) MAIN PUZZLE and four (4) CORNER PUZZLE play areas on each CORNER CASH CROSSWORD ticket. Each CORNER PUZZLE consists of two (2) WORDS, one (1) of which is horizontal and one (1) of which is vertical. The MAIN PUZZLE and each CORNER PUZZLE are played separately.

    The holder of a ticket where the letters in the uncovered YOUR 18 LETTERS box match the letters in the MAIN PUZZLE to complete three (3) or more complete WORDS shall win the prize shown in the MAIN PUZZLE PRIZE LEGEND for that same number of complete WORDS.

    The holder of a ticket where the letters in the uncovered YOUR 18 LETTERS play area match the letters in any one (1) CORNER PUZZLE to complete both words in that CORNER PUZZLE shall win the prize shown in the uncovered CORNER PUZZLE PRIZE box.

    The possible complete WORDS on the ticket will be shown in the MAIN PUZZLE and in each CORNER PUZZLE. Each possible complete WORD consists of three (3) or more letters and fills a complete word space. Letters in the MAIN PUZZLE and in each of the four (4) CORNER PUZZLES combined to form a complete WORD must appear in a continuous horizontal (from left to right) or vertical (from top to bottom) sequence in a word space in the MAIN PUZZLE or CORNER PUZZLE, 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 (e.g. – "base" and "ball" within "baseball" are considered only one complete word - baseball). Complete WORDS cannot be formed in the MAIN PUZZLE or in each of the four (4) CORNER PUZZLES by linking letters diagonally, or by reading the letters from right to left or bottom to top. The YOUR 18 LETTERS play area must contain all of the letters in a possible complete WORD in order to form that WORD. A winning MAIN PUZZLE can win only the highest prize shown in the MAIN PUZZLE PRIZE LEGEND for that same winning pattern as previously described in these features and procedures.
