GROOVY SLINGO

Match all 21 numbers in the SLINGO GRID (“Blackout”), win $30,000. Each of the four FREE SPACES ("JOKER" symbols) in the SLINGO GRID is a free match and counts towards a winning pattern.

Win $3 for each "GOLD COIN" revealed in the SPINS.

Entry or non-entry of GROOVY SLINGO tickets to the Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings does not affect the prize structure of the GROOVY SLINGO game.
- The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the GROOVY SLINGO game, however, for a period of time, at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator GROOVY SLINGO tickets may count towards entry in Lottery Super 2nd Chance 2 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 numbers in the uncovered YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area match the numbers in the SLINGO GRID to complete at least one (1) straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line in the SLINGO GRID, and where there is a "1X" play symbol imaged in the uncovered FLOWER POWER BONUS spot play area, shall win the prize shown in the SLINGO LEGEND for that same number of complete, matching lines.
The holder of a ticket where the numbers in the uncovered YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area match the numbers in the SLINGO GRID to complete at least one (1) straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line in the SLINGO GRID, and where there is a "2X" play symbol imaged in the uncovered FLOWER POWER BONUS spot play area, shall win two (2) times the prize shown in the SLINGO LEGEND for that same number of complete, matching lines.
The holder of a ticket where the numbers in the uncovered YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area match the numbers in the SLINGO GRID to complete at least one (1) straight horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line in the SLINGO GRID, and where there is a "3X" play symbol imaged in the uncovered FLOWER POWER BONUS spot play area, shall win three (2) times the prize shown in the SLINGO LEGEND for that same number of complete, matching lines.
Winning patterns in the play area of the SLINGO GRID must be five (5) matches in either a vertical, horizontal or diagonal straight line.

The holder of a ticket where the numbers in the uncovered YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area match all twenty-one (21) of the numbers in the SLINGO GRID (“Blackout”) shall win a thirty thousand dollar ($30,000) prize.
The multiplier symbol applies to the prize won and not to the number of matched lines (e.g. – if the SLINGO GRID has four complete lines and a "2X" symbol in the FLOWER POWER BONUS, the prize for the SLINGO GRID would be twenty dollars ($15 multiplied by 2 equals $30)).
The holder of a ticket showing one (1) or more “GOLD COIN” play symbols under any of the forty (40) play spots in the YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area shall win a three dollar ($3) prize for each "GOLD COIN" symbol revealed.
A winning ticket can only win the highest prize, or (if the same ticket shows a “2X” play symbol in the uncovered FLOWER POWER BONUS spot play area as previously described in these features and procedures) two (2) times the highest prize, or (if the same ticket shows a “3X” play symbol in the uncovered FLOWER POWER BONUS spot play area as previously described in these features and procedures) three (3) times the highest prize shown in the SLINGO LEGEND for that same number of completed, matching lines in the SLINGO GRID, plus $3 for each “GOLD COIN” symbol in the YOUR SLINGO NUMBERS play area, as previously described in these features and procedures. - The method of making payments to winners:
