Crossword Cash is an instant-win type online lottery game with a top prize of $6,000. The game board consists a crossword puzzle on an 11 x 11 grid. You win prizes when the letters on your game card match all the letters in three or more words in your crossword.

- Five words: 4x
- Six words: 10x
- Seven words: 50x

You only win the prize corresponding to the exact number of yellow words on your game board.
