No worries -- scratch off all 25. That's how you play the new "Georgia Lottery's 15th Anniversary Millionaire Extravaganza.

Put up $20 and shoot for the chance of a lifetime.

To celebrate its 15th year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has unveiled two new ways to become an instant millionaire.

"Extravaganza" may yield 15 prizes, ranging from $1 million to $5 million. Any number paired with symbols of cash, peaches or the term "WIN" means a prize.

The second, "Georgia Lottery's 15th Anniversary," is a $1 instant-win game. Players may win up to $15,000 dollars after scratching off the card's play area and matching any of their five numbers to the winning number, found beneath a symbol of the state of Georgia.

Both games went on sale Monday.

"People are really excited that we've reached this milestone," Georgia Lottery Corporation president and CEO Margaret DeFrancisco said during a news conference at Centennial Olympic Park on Tuesday.

The corporation currently has a total of 56 instant games on sale.

Sales of their most successful game, the $2 Jumbo Bucks Classic, has reached over $3.25 billions. It also has paid out over $2 billion in prizes.
