A contest game piece and a method of manufacturing same. A first portion of a first sheet of material is printed on at least one side with indicia. Perforations are formed through the first sheet of materials defining a boundary partitioning the portion of the first sheet of material printed with the indicia from the other portion of the first sheet of material. A second sheet of material is adhered to the first side of the first sheet of material at portions of the first sheet of material not printed with indicia. The adhered first and second sheets of material are formed into a cup bottom and adhered at its periphery to a side wall of a cup to form a seal therebetween. Apparatus for manufacturing the contest game piece is also disclosed.
