									Game rule number
			 six hundred seventy is an extended play game and is generally known as an
			 "instant lottery."

									The holder of a valid ticket will remove the covering
			 over "Your Letters" play area to reveal eighteen letters. The player will then
			 scratch off each letter in the "Puzzle" play area that matches "Your Letters."
			 To win a prize award, the player must uncover three or more horizontal or
			 vertical words using "Your Letters." The prize amount won is determined by
			 comparing the number of uncovered words in the "Puzzle" to the corresponding
			 "Puzzle Legend." Each letter appearing in the "Your Letters" play area may
			 appear more than once in the "Puzzle" play area. Each "Word" must contain at
			 least three of "Your Letters." Letters combined to form a complete "Word" must
			 appear in an unbroken horizontal or vertical sequence within the "Cashword"
			 puzzle play areas. An unbroken string of letters cannot be interrupted by a
			 black space and each "Word" must contain every single letter square between two
			 black spaces. A "Word" cannot be formed by connecting the letters diagonally,
			 by reading the letters from right to left or from bottom to top, or by using
			 only a portion of the letters in a complete "Word." Words within words are not
			 eligible for a prize. The player will remove the covering over the "Bonus
			 Play." If the player reveals a prize amount in the "Bonus Play" box, the player
			 wins that amount. If the player reveals an "Entry" symbol in the "Bonus Play"
			 box, the player becomes eligible for a chance to be selected in a scheduled
			 drawing to appear as a contestant on the Ohio Lottery Commission TV Game Show,
			 Cash Explosion.There are two chances to win on each ticket.
