    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 WILD BINGO tickets to the Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings does not affect the prize structure of the WILD BINGO game.

  4. The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the WILD BINGO game, however, for a period of time, at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator WILD BINGO 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: Each WILD BINGO ticket contains a CALLER'S CARD play area with twenty-seven (27) number and letter combinations (Bingo numbers), a WILD NUMBER play spot with one (1) single-digit WILD NUMBER, and four (4) CARD play areas.

    In the play area of each CARD, any number whose second (last) digit is the same number as the WILD NUMBER (in the uncovered WILD NUMBER play spot) is a free match and may count towards a winning pattern. For example, if the WILD NUMBER is "2", the numbers 02, 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, and 72 are considered to be WILD NUMBER matches on this ticket in this game.

    The holder of a ticket where the Bingo numbers of the CALLER'S CARD play area, in addition to the WILD NUMBER matches as previously described in these features and procedures, match the Bingo numbers of any of the four (4) CARDs in a 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 (1) 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 corners); or five (5) matches in a straight line diagonally in each direction, in an "X" pattern.

    Each of the four (4) "FREE" spaces in the play area for each CARD is a free match and may count towards a winning pattern.

    Each winning CARD can only win the highest prize shown for that designated winning pattern for that same CARD, as previously described in these features and procedures.

    Only one (1) prize may be won per CARD. CARDS 1 - 4 are played separately.
  6. The method of making payments to winners:
    1. Submission of the original ticket (not a copy), as provided below, shall be the sole method of claiming a prize.
