The aim of the Game is to match the numbers revealed in ‘WINNING NUMBERS’ to any of the numbers revealed in ‘YOUR NUMBERS’ to win the Prize amount show below that number, and/or reveal a ‘Golden Card’ symbol under ‘YOUR NUMBERS’ to win the Prize shown for that symbol, and/or reveal a ‘Moon’ symbol under ‘YOUR NUMBERS’ to win two times the Prize shown for that symbol.

If a ‘Golden Card’ symbol or a ‘Moon’ symbol is revealed the prize banner will highlight/aminate to indicate the prize that has been won.
