Then, remove the 20 stacks of cash symbols to reveal your numbers. If any of your numbers match the winning number, you win the amount shown with that number.

Dragon's Palace of Fortunes
This is a new e-Instant game. You can wager between $0.10 and $20. The top prize is $100,000. To play, first, choose how much you wish to wager. Then, click play to begin the game. Colored tiles will fall into place in the play area. If you reveal a winning pattern, those tiles will be destroyed, and new tiles will take their place. If the new tiles reveal a winning pattern, the process will continue until no more winning patterns appear. At this point, the game ends, and you will be awarded your total prize.
During play, if you reveal a multiplier symbol in the 1st and 5th columns while a winning pattern is shown in the play area, you can multiply your prize. The multiplier amount will be revealed at the end of the game, and your prize will be multiplied by that number. If you reveal two multipliers in the play area without a winning pattern, this will not trigger the multiplier.
If you reveal a bonus symbol in the 1st and 5th columns during play, you will receive a bonus game. Clicking the Golden Yuan Bao symbol will reveal a prize amount or a major or minor symbol. The bonus game ends when three matching prize amounts or three major or three minor symbols are revealed. You will win a prize equal to one of the revealed amounts or the prize shown in the major or minor panel, respectively.
If you reveal a free plays symbol in the 1st and 5th columns, you unlock 10 free plays.
Enjoy playing these new District of Columbia Lottery games, and please remember to play responsibly.
