Scratch n' Match is an occasional sweepstakes promotion from the New York Daily News. The promotion has been held on and off throughout the Spring and the Fall since September 2004. In March 2005 an error on a number was published and then when people followed that wrong number hundreds of people won and they flooded the Daily News building. Play formatA scratch-off game card is included with the Sunday newspaper. Each card has eight scratch-off areas with 15 spaces—’one for each day including two for Sunday. The player scratches off spaces corresponding to the number printed in each day's paper. If three like amounts are revealed the player wins that amount of money. PrizesThe top prize has changed since the game was first released. At first, the top prize was $100,000. In September 2005, the top prize began at $100,000 for the first week and increased by $10,000 every week — $100,000 the first, $110,000 the next, up to $250,000 the final week.{{Citation needed|date=May 2007}} In 2006, the top prize was $1 million (paid through an annuity, with no cash option) but only 3 were offered with two out of the three being won. The most recent version goes back to offering $100,000. Misprint incidentIn March 2005, the Daily News printed incorrect numbers to be scratched off, leading thousands of angry subscribers demanding their $1 million. In the end, a second lottery was held between those people to determine who will receive the million.[1] References1. ^Barron Accuses Daily News Over Contest Scandal - March 23, 2005 - The New York Sun 2 : Lottery card games|Scratchcard games |
