Seal Card Instructions

In addition, there are 18 “Red 13” HOLD tickets in the deal (013 through 2313), each identified by a red number 13. Players holding a “Red 13” HOLD ticket sign their name on the corresponding sign-up line on the seal card. This ensures that if the game is not completely sold out in one day, the players will receive their winnings.

Once the game is completely sold out, the operator will announce the name of the game “TOP OF THE TREE” and serial number, and that the game is now in play. The operator will open the “$5” seal windows to reveal four numbers ending in 13. These are the only numbers that qualify for continued play on the seal card. Each player holding a ticket with a number ending in red 13 matching a number revealed in a seal window is awarded a $5 prize. Then the operator will open the “$20” seal windows to reveal three numbers ending in 13. Each remaining player holding a ticket with a number ending in red 13 matching a number revealed in a seal window is awarded an additional $20 prize. Then the operator will open the “$50” seal windows to reveal two numbers ending in 13. Each remaining player holding a ticket with a number ending in red 13 matching a number revealed in a seal window is awarded an additional $50 prize. Finally, the operator will open the “$225” seal window to reveal one number ending in 13. The only remaining player holding the ticket with the number ending in red 13 matching the number revealed in the seal window is awarded an additional $225 prize and the game is over.

Red 13 prizes will be paid out as follows:

1 @ $5, 1 @ $25, 1 @ $75, 1 @ $300
