Pac-Man Invades NZ Lottery
Posted by Logan Booker at 1:30 PM on April 7, 2008
Ah Pac-Man, my yellow, two-dimensional playmate, is nothing sacred to you? Going by this NZ scratch-and-win lotto ticket, I'd say no.
The main prize is $NZ 50,000, though you can win smaller cash amounts by matching five Pac-Mans in a row (thanks Chalmo). Fruit lovers will be happy to know a cherry instantly gets you NZ $20, while a strawberry nets you $NZ 10.
So, where to next Pac-Man? Powerball? The horses? Keno? When will the madness end!

It seems that 5 Pacmans would win you the prize under the corresponding prize panel, 3 Pacmans and 2 Ghosts does not win you anything, but if 5 Pacmans were present then the prize for that line would be $4.
It's clearly outlined in this image:

@Chalmo: That would be correct. As you can see, I'm not a big purchaser of scratch-and-win cards.
