A game board of this type typically comes with a registered package of pull-tab tickets, a signers card, and a pay-out slip.
If a number on the ticket matches a number on the game board, the player wins a prize and/or a chance at one or more seal prizes, which are revealed at the end of the game.
Instant cash or merchandise winnings are given to the player immediately by the manager.
When the game ends—all the tickets sell out, or all the prizes are won—the manager opens the seals on the game board (or, in some versions, scratches off an opaque substance) to reveal the winning numbers.
The pay-out slip that is typically provided with each board lists the number of winners and values of all prizes.
