The Strategy

In Radical!, complete R-A-D-I-C-A-L to light a lock at the Snake Lane, left ramp, or right ramp. Lock one ball, complete the letters again, then shoot a lit lock to start two-ball Multiball. Shoot the left ramp for Mega-Million; to relight it, complete R-A-D-I-C-A-L and put both balls into the lock lane within about three seconds.

The goal

Spell R-A-D-I-C-A-L for each lock, start Multiball with the second lock, then use the left ramp for A jackpot selected from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 on standard code. Tournament settings can fix the value. and rebuild it with another R-A-D-I-C-A-L cycle.
