• If you have a win it is up to you to stop play and announce it before the next number is called.
• Player must have initials on back of card, currently in play and before verification of win, in order for the win to be deemed valid.
• If you miss calling a win and someone calls it on a later number, your win is no longer valid.
• If two or more player achieve a win on the same number, whoever calls it first will receive the listed prize. The caller may decide to conduct a “tie-breaker”.  It can be determined by coin flip or rock, paper, scissors. They can also continue calling numbers, but only for the players that tied.  The first player to have a number that is not shared with the other player or players will win the prize. Sometimes a lesser prize may be awarded to the other winners at the discretion of the location.  .
• Hold all cards until a winner is verified.

Large cash jackpots will be paid at the start of next week’s game session.
