If you’re playing a bingo game, for example ‘Easy Bingo’, your ticket will display a bingo card in the top half. This will contain five horizontal lines, with five numbers on each one and a prize value at the end. A set of ‘Caller’s Numbers’ will then be printed on the lower part of the ticket. Circle any of the numbers on your card that are shown among the Caller’s Numbers, and if you complete a full line you will win the associated prize amount.
Crossword games uses letters, Blackjack games use cards, and so on, but generally the aim of the game is to match symbols in some way to win prizes. You can either play the games yourself, or simply go to a retailer to get the barcode scanned. This will tell you whether the ticket is a winner.

The top prize can span from $50 to $250,000. This is proportional to the cost of a ticket, with the more expensive games offering the biggest payouts. There are various other prizes on offer for each one.
The odds of winning a prize vary by game, but it is usually in the region of 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 – much better than your chances of winning in most lotteries.
