The Kentucky Lottery has brought in a new online feature for lottery fans to enjoy. Pink Diamond Crossword delivers excitement and rewards for those who love a good crossword. However, this puzzle doesn’t just promise satisfaction with the solution. Pink Diamond Crossword delivers players the opportunity to win thousands in cold, hard cash.
Instant play game: Pink Diamond Crossword
A game that garners glittering prizes, Pink Diamond Crossword is sure to please crossword puzzle enthusiasts and bankrollers alike. There isn’t much to learn before you’re able to fill in the blanks with the best of them. What’s important is how many letters you can reveal to complete words on the game’s crossword grid. Just a few words will qualify you for a cash prize, while filling in all the blanks will deliver a maximum payout of up to $200,000.
How to play
The game begins much like any other instant play feature from the Kentucky Lottery. You’ll have to select a value at which to set your ticket to the game. The purchase process is easy enough to follow and is outlined in detail in the Kentucky iLottery terms of use. Keep in mind that the value of the ticket selected at the point of purchase will determine the prize brackets available for any win that results from the player’s good fortune. In short, the more you value the ticket, the higher the potential payout will be.
Once you’ve purchased the ticket, you will see a crossword grid. Additionally, there is a prize table displaying potential winnings based on word combinations, a “hints” button and an “auto mark” button. Toggling the “hints” function automatically reveals all letters that match your letters and those that appear on the grid. Toggle the “auto mark” feature to automatically highlight matching letters on the grid. Only one of these features can be enabled at a time. A “reveal all” feature allows you to complete the whole round hands-free.
There will be 18 blank positions in the “your letters” section. These will be revealed when it’s time to press “play,” the gold square. That square resides in the center of the game’s three spinning discs. Each spin of a disc reveals a letter that will be placed in the “your letters” section and matched with a corresponding position on the grid. Three bonus letters are also available to add to your stash of winning potential. Lastly, a single pink diamond resides at the heart of this game. This diamond can be captured during any of the game’s 18 spins and offers the available bonus letters mentioned earlier.
The game is full of fun and strange mechanics, with many moving parts and ways to win. Complete all spins to see how many words you match on the grid. The more words you complete, the higher your prize will climb.
