Overview

Mots cachés (“hidden words”) brings the familiar word-search puzzle to a ticket: you reveal letters by scratching, then look for complete words in the grid. The more words you complete, the bigger the prize, according to the printed table.

The ticket also includes a separate bonus game. It takes a bit of patience, unlike tickets you can read at a glance.

Rules and how it works

  • Scratch the area showing your available letters.
  • Find the words in the grid that can be fully formed with those letters.
  • The prize depends on the number of complete words, per the ticket’s table.
  • The bonus game is played separately, following its own instructions.

Minimum age

In Québec, buying lottery tickets and taking part in games of chance is restricted to people 18 and over.
