One Card, 80 Hands of Poker!

Pocket Poker

Cost: $20Top Prize: $500Odds: 1 in 1.00Begin Ordering: July 31

Prize Odds

$3 1 in 5.00$5 1 in 3.00$7 1 in 5.00$10 1 in 15.00$20 1 in 15.00$40 1 in 15.00$60 1 in 16.13$100 1 in 333.33$500 1 in 600.00

Players will like the novelty of 80 hands of poker within this electronic game card. Every card’s a guaranteed winner of at least $3 and players can win up to $500!

First, activate the card by removing the battery tag. To begin, press the “Deal” button on the front of the card. The display tells the player that they have 80 plays on the card. Press “Deal” to reveal four cards. Press “Deal” again to reveal the fi nal card in the hand. If the hand revealed matches a hand in the Points Legend on the front of the card, win the correspond-ing point amount. Each time there’s a winning hand, a message will fl ash indicating the points won. If a free play is won, the free hand will be awarded immedi-ately following the hand on which it was won. After each play, the card will automatically accumulate the points. Each point is worth 25 cents. See the instruc-tions inside the card package for more details.

For instructions on how to validate “Pocket Poker,”see Page 3.

Beware of any notice that you’ve won a lottery. Don’t be fooled by an explanation that you won even though you never entered, and don’t be fooled by names of real lotteries. (“El Gordo” is the real Spanish lottery, but prize notices are phony.)

• Keep your bank account and credit card informa-tion to yourself.

• Don’t pay to PLAY a foreign lottery. It’s a scam—and it’s illegal for you to play anyway.

• Report lottery scams. You can forward interna-tional lottery scam e-mails to the Federal Trade Commission at uce@ftc.gov. Send regular mail to your postmaster. If you’ve been cheated, contact the Iowa Attorney General’s Offi ce.

On the SciScan 2000:

1) Scratch off the latex as described in Step 1 for the Extrema.

2) Choose (2) Manual Entry from the main screen, then choose (3) “Electronic Game Card.” Retailers must open the door of the SciScan 1500 or roll the wheel on the SciScan 500 to expose the red beam.

3) Open the door on the front of the SciScan and look for the red beam inside. Turn the card upside down, bar code facing away from you, and pass it in front of the beam.

4) Enter the three-digit security code (the three numbers in the box) when prompted.

To manually validate on the SciScan 2000: Follow Steps 1 and 2 above, then enter the three-digit game number, six-digit pack number, three-digit ticket number and the seven-digit VIRN number (all numbers outside the security code box). Choose “Enter,” then enter the three-digit security code (the numbers in the box).

Keep all validated cards to be picked up by your DSR.

2) Choose “Cash” from the menu on the bottom of the main Screen, then choose “Electronic Game Card” from the menu on the screen (see the photo below).

3) Pull open the door on the front of the SciScan 1500 reader. You’ll see a red beam inside the SciScan. Turn the card upside down, bar code facing away from you, and pass it in front of the beam. If you have a SciScan 500, roll the wheel on the right-hand side of the SciScan until the beam is vis-ible through the slit in the front of the box. Pass the game card in front of the beam.

4) Enter the security code (the three numbers in the box) on the pop-up screen.

To manually validate on the Ex-trema: Follow Steps 1 and 2 above, then enter the three-digit game number, six-digit pack number, three-digit ticket number and the seven-digit VIRN number (all numbers outside the security code box). Touch “OK,” then enter the three-digit security code (the numbers inside the box).

‘Dollar’ Dreams Come True for Iowa City WomanInez Walker is still “Dream’n of Dollars”!

That’s becasue the Iowa City woman won $12,000 playing the “Dream’n of Dollars” instant-scratch game. She bought the winning ticket at DeliMart, 525 Highway 1 W. in Iowa City.

“I was in such shock. I didn’t have my glasses on at the time. So I put my glasses on to look at [the ticket] and it said $12,000,” she said. “Then I called my husband at work and I said, ‘Tell me how I win this game!’ He said, ‘Inez, if you have a ”Z“ you win

Walker said the fi rst person she told after her hus-band was her mother.

“She was shouting and screaming for me,” she said. “I was shouting and screaming.”

Walker said she and her husband will use their win-nings for home improvement projects and maybe renewing their wedding vows.
