There is a card that has the possibilities of 80 different numbers choices on it, there is a hopper, or a ball spinner that is supposed to have the same 80 numbers written on the balls inside it.
Twenty of these balls will be chosen from this hopper and the numbers will match some of the numbers players have selected on their playing cards or tickets. The more numbers you match, the bigger amount of money you win.
