How to play Daily Crossword

Like other crossword games from the Lottery, you begin by getting a list of YOUR CALL LETTERS. The crossword comes with the puzzle portion already filled in. Cross out every place where YOUR CALL LETTERS appear. For instance, if one of YOUR CALL LETTERS is S, you would cross out the final letter in BUS.

Once you have used every letter in your list, count the number of vertical and horizontal words where you have crossed out every letter. If you mark three or more complete words horizontally or vertically, you win a prize. Partial words do not count.
