About Big Cash Catch
Emerald 8s is a mid-price instant scratcher (typically $1–$5) centered on the lucky number “8” and rich emerald-themed visuals. Players scratch the play area to reveal numbers or symbols; scratching an “8” wins the prize shown. In many versions, uncovering a green or emerald‑colored “8” doubles the prize, while a special “Emerald” symbol may trigger an instant win of all prizes on the ticket
What sets Michigan’s Emerald 8s apart is its charitable angle: proceeds benefit licensed non-profit groups, so every play gives back to the community. With a classic “match‑an‑8” mechanic, it offers clear, no-fuss gameplay and the nostalgic enjoyment of pull-tabs. Typically, these tickets don’t sell out outright and carry over week to week, making them a staple at venues hosting frequent event
