USING THE SCRATCH CARD

Find out if you are a winner by simply using the mouse to guide the coin over the relevant area to scratch. Begin scratching by holding down the left-hand mouse button whilst moving the mouse over the area. When you release the left-hand mouse button the area being scratched will be fully revealed.

You are a winner if you reveal three matching winning symbols. The Scratch Card will then inform you of your winning status and the Win button (the central button of the five displayed) will become active - pressing this button will give you full instructions on how to verify your win.

If you are a winner you do not need to verify your win straight away. You can re-load the scratch card at any time (until the end of the promotion shown on screen: 31/10/98) - it will still display your winning status, you can then contact the Instant Win operator.
