numbers selected. For example, a person betting on three
numbers has a 3 Spot game; those with four numbers have
a 4 Spot game and so on.
To determine winners, a draw is held where 20 balls are
randomly selected. Prizes differ based on how many numbers
are matched and how much money is spent on a ticket.
