Rule 3770:1-9-53 | Game rule number fifty-three.
Effective:
August 3, 2024
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery
commission game rule number fifty-three, "Classic Lotto," will
be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may
determine. For the purpose of this rule, "sales cycle" will mean any
such period beginning on the date when ticket sales are commenced and
continuing through the date established by the director as the final sales
date. (B) General design. (1) Game rule number
fifty-three is a lottery game of the type generally known as a number match
game. (2) Each ticket in game
rule number fifty-three will be imprinted with one set of six unique numbers
from the set of integers one through forty-nine inclusive, as determined by the
choice of the ticket purchaser or the auto lotto feature of the lottery gaming
system, and recorded on the ticket at the time of purchase. Tickets purchased
in game rule number fifty-three are automatically deemed by the on-line gaming
system to reflect payment of the grand prize jackpot in thirty annual
installments. As set forth in paragraph (I)(2) of this rule, at the time of
claim, any grand prize jackpot prize winner(s) will have sixty calendar days
from the date of the presentation for payment of their valid claim to the Ohio
lottery commission, to opt for a discounted cash value lump sum known as the
"cash option." All other prizes in game rule number fifty-three will
be paid out in a lump sum. (3) At such times as
determined by the director, drawings will be conducted during which six unique
numbers will be selected at random from the set of integers one through
forty-nine inclusive. Holders of valid winning tickets for a given
drawing bearing the numbers drawn in that drawing, in whole or in part, will be
entitled to a prize award in accordance with this rule. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number fifty-three will be one
dollar per wager. The player may purchase up to the number of wagers per
ticket, or multiples thereof, as designated by the director if a multi-draw
wager is requested at the player's discretion in accordance with the
number of game panels and inclusive drawings. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. Based upon the numbers drawn in each regular drawing for game rule
number fifty-three, prizes will be awarded to holders of valid tickets for that
drawing as follows: (1) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches three, and only three, of the six integers
drawn, the player wins a regular prize award of two dollars. (2) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches four, and only four, of the six integers
drawn, the player wins a regular prize award of seventy dollars. (3) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches five, and only five, of the six integers
drawn, the player wins a regular prize award of one thousand five hundred
dollars. (4) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches all six integers drawn, the prize pool to be
paid will be equal to the amount designated by the director (hereinafter
"jackpot"), which will be divided equally among the winning
selections if there is more than one winning selection. The director or his
designee will designate and certify the amount of the jackpot for each drawing
in writing prior to each drawing. In any event, the director will have discretion
to change the prizes and percentages which represent the prize pools in each of
the categories referred to in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(4) of this rule. (5) The minimum total
jackpot amount in any jackpot for which at least one ticket bears a winning
selection which matches six of the six integers drawn, as validated by the
lottery gaming system, will be one million dollars, and will be divided equally
among the winning selections if there is more than one winning selection. The
director may set the jackpot at levels higher than the minimum amount in
accordance with paragraph (D)(4) of this rule. (6) Any amounts remaining
in the prize pools described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(4) of this rule after
any given drawing, due to residual amounts after prize disbursements, will be
retained by the commission. (7) When there are no
winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in paragraph (D)(4) of this
rule, the director will, in accordance with paragraph (D)(4) of this rule,
establish what amounts from such prize pool will be carried forward into the
jackpot for the next drawing. (8) When there are no
winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in paragraph (D)(4) of this
rule, the jackpot prize amount will roll pari-mutuelly based on sales as set by
the director or increase by a guaranteed amount established by the director,
whichever jackpot prize amount is greater. (9) In a single game rule
number fifty-three drawing, a claimant may win in only one prize category per
wager as a result of possessing winning numbers, and will be entitled only to
the highest prize level won. (E) In addition to the game described in
paragraphs (B) to (D) of this rule, a player will have an option to play
"The Kicker." "The Kicker" is available only to
"Classic Lotto" players in Ohio, featuring a single six-digit
computer-generated number from 000000 to 999999 printed on a "Classic
Lotto" ticket. If a player elects "The Kicker" option, the
words "Kicker Yes" will be printed on the player's ticket.
"The Kicker" number will be printed on the player's ticket if it
is elected or not. However, the player may only win "The Kicker" if
it is elected and the ticket reflects the "Kicker Yes"
message. (1) The cost of playing
"The Kicker" is an extra dollar, in addition to placing at least a
one dollar "Classic Lotto" bet. (2) A player will win a
prize award if two, three, four, five or six digits on a player's ticket
match in exact order from left to right "The Kicker" number drawn,
and any such number will be called a winning "Kicker" number. All
"The Kicker" prizes will be paid out in a lump sum. Any winning
number of two, three, four, five or six digits will match in exact order,
starting with the first two digits and moving from left to right. Winning
numbers will correspond to the letters in the word "Kicker" and
prizes will be awarded to holders of valid winning tickets as
follows: (a) For each ticket selecting the first two digits (k-i) matching
exactly, a prize of ten dollars. (b) For each ticket selecting the first three digits (k-i-c)
matching exactly, a prize of one hundred dollars. (c) For each ticket selecting the first four digits (k-i-c-k)
matching exactly, a prize of one thousand dollars. (d) For each ticket selecting the first five digits (k-i-c-k-e)
matching exactly, a prize of five thousand dollars. (e) For each ticket selecting all six digits (k-i-c-k-e-r)
matching exactly, a prize of one hundred thousand dollars. (F) Frequency of prize drawings. Drawings will be held at times
determined by the director. (G) Manner of prize drawings. (1) Prize drawings will
be open to the public and may be held at such places in the state that the
director will determine. The director will inform the public as to the time and
place of each prize drawing. (2) All holders of valid
tickets for a given drawing are eligible to win in that drawing. If the holder
of a winning ticket does not have the ticket fully validated and the prize is
not claimed and presented for payment within one hundred eighty days after the
date of the drawing, in accordance with the procedures set forth in lottery
rules, such unclaimed prize will be paid into the state lottery fund and
distributed in accordance with section 3770.06 of the Revised
Code. (3) All drawings in game
rule number fifty-three will be conducted in accordance with random procedures
approved by the director. For every drawing in game rule number fifty-three,
the director will approve procedures and mechanisms for the selection of
winners and the awarding of prizes in order that random selection by the
lottery gaming system will be achieved. (H) Validity of tickets. (1) Each purchaser of
tickets in game rule number fifty-three will be responsible for verifying that
the number imprinted on such tickets are those requested by the purchaser, that
the purchase price paid is the price recorded on such ticket, and that such
ticket has recorded thereon the type of bet(s), the manner of payment of the
prize award, and the drawing date(s) therefor that the purchaser desired to
make. The Ohio lottery commission will be free of any liability in connection
with this paragraph. (2) Each ticket issued in
game rule number fifty-three will have imprinted thereon at the time of
purchase a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the commission.
No prize will be paid by the commission for any tickets without such control
number or bar code data. (3) All winning tickets
in game rule number fifty-three are subject to validation by the lottery gaming
system under procedures established by the director before the payment of any
prize. (4) In addition to, but
not in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director
by the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game rule
number fifty-three void if it is stolen, not sold or deemed not sold in
accordance with commission rules; if it is illegible, altered, or counterfeit;
or if the ticket fails any of the validation tests or procedures established by
the director. The commission's liability and responsibility for a ticket
declared void, if any, is limited to refund of the retail sales price of the
ticket. (5) For the purpose of
determining the number of winning wagers, division of the jackpot is contingent
on the lottery gaming system's determination of winning wagers sold, and
not by the number of winning tickets presented for payment. (I) Annual payments or the cash option. (1) Because the
advertised Classic Lotto jackpot is payable over thirty years, jackpot
prizes from game rule number fifty-three are payable in thirty annual
installment payments, less the appropriately withheld state and federal income
taxes or other withholdings as required by law. The first and/or last payment
may not be equal to the remaining annual payments, however, the total thirty
annual payments will not be less than the jackpot prize award won, less state
and federal income tax withholdings or any other withholdings required by
law. (2) Upon completion of
internal validation and claiming procedures established by the lottery, at the
time a valid claim is presented for payment of the grand prize jackpot, the
estimated cash option prize amount along with the amount of appropriately
withheld state and federal income taxes will be disclosed in writing to the
prize winner. Commencing with the date of presentment of a valid winning grand
prize jackpot ticket, and for sixty calendar days thereafter, claimants may
choose the cash option value instead of thirty annual installment payments.
Notice of such selection must be received by the lottery or post office stamped
by the end of the sixty calendar day deadline. Such option, once chosen, may
not be revoked. If no selection is made during the allowed time period, the
prize winner will be paid in thirty annual installment payments as provided for
herein. The discounted cash value of a jackpot amount will be determined by the
director based on a formula established pursuant to authority granted under
rule 3770:1-8-04 of the Administrative Code. (3) A single winning
Classic Lotto jackpot ticket may be paid pursuant to these rules in either
thirty annual installments or in a discounted cash value lump sum ("cash
option"). Prize winners who claim a joint prize from a single winning
ticket will all receive prize payments in either thirty annual installments or
in a discounted cash value lump sum. Prize winners who claim a joint prize from
a single winning ticket may not opt to receive different forms of
payment. (J) Director's conduct of game rule number
fifty-three. (1) The director will
conduct game rule number fifty-three in a manner consistent with the Lottery
Act, the rules of the commission, including without limitation this rule, and
the regulations of the director. (2) Names and definitions
of elements of game rule number fifty-three used in this rule are considered
generic terms used solely for the purpose of this rule. In actual operation,
game rule number fifty-three and these elements may be given names or titles
chosen by the commission. (3) Should the director
determine that drawings conducted pursuant to game rule number fifty-three are
to be discontinued, the director has the discretion to transfer any existing
funds from the game rule number fifty-three jackpot that was not won before
such drawings were discontinued, to any lottery game or to allocate the entire
or partial funds to the lower tiered prizes. (4) The director will
have discretion to combine existing or future games for promotional purposes in
order to increase revenues and to create a different payment structure for
prizes to be paid if games are combined, and to authorize any funding mechanism
deemed necessary to accomplish payment of any prize pool.

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery
commission game rule number fifty-five, "KENO," will be conducted at
such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the
purpose of this rule, "sales cycle" will mean any such period
beginning on the date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through
the date established by the director as the final sales date. (B) General design. (1) Game rule number
fifty-five is a lottery game of the type generally known as a number match
game. (2) Each ticket in game
rule number fifty-five will be imprinted with one set of unique numbers from
the set of integers one through eighty inclusive, as determined by the choice
of the ticket purchaser or the auto pick feature of the lottery gaming system,
and recorded on the ticket at the time of purchase. Each set of numbers will
consist of at least one unique number and not more than ten unique numbers as
chosen by the ticket purchaser or the auto pick feature of the on-line gaming
computer system. The number of unique numbers in each set of unique numbers is
dependent upon the number of "spots" chosen by the ticket purchaser.
If the ticket purchaser chooses a "one spot" ticket, the set of
numbers will consist of one unique number. If the ticket purchaser chooses a
"two spot" ticket, the set of numbers will consist of two unique
numbers. If the ticket purchaser chooses a "three spot" ticket, the
set of numbers will consist of three unique numbers. If the ticket purchaser

will be paid out in a lump sum. (3) At such times as
determined by the director, a "Booster" option may be added as an
available feature of game rule number fifty-five. If the director determines
that a "Booster" option is an available feature of game rule number
fifty-five, a ticket purchaser will have the option to play the
"Booster" option as an addition to any "KENO" ticket
purchased. If the "Booster" option is chosen by the purchaser, the
words "Booster YES" will be printed on the player's ticket. If
the "Booster" option is not chosen, the words "Booster NO"
will be printed on the player's ticket. The holder of a valid winning
ticket for a drawing, with the "Booster" option, will have the
regular prize award that is won multiplied by the "Booster" drawn in
that respective drawing. The holder of a valid winning ticket for a drawing,
with no "Booster" option, will not have the regular prize award that
is won multiplied by the "Booster" drawn in that respective
drawing. (4) At such times as
determined by the director, drawings will be conducted during which twenty
unique numbers will be selected at random from the set of integers one through
eighty inclusive. If the director has determined, pursuant to paragraph (B) of
this rule, that a "Booster" option will be an available feature of
game rule number fifty-five, during the drawings that are conducted, a
"Booster" will be selected from the following integers: one, two,
three, four, five and ten. Holders of a valid winning ticket for a given
drawing bearing the number of matching integers as set forth in paragraphs
(D)(1) to (D)(37) of this rule and excluding the "Booster" option
will be entitled to the regular prize award set forth in accordance with the
applicable section of this rule. If the director has determined, pursuant to
paragraph (B) of this rule, that a "Booster" option is an available
feature of game rule number fifty-five, holders of a valid winning ticket for a
given drawing bearing the number of matching integers as set forth in
paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(37) of this rule and including the "Booster"
option will be entitled to the regular prize award set forth in accordance with
the applicable paragraph of this rule multiplied by the "Booster"
drawn in that respective drawing. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number fifty-five per wager will
be one dollar, two dollars, three dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten
dollars or twenty dollars. The player may purchase up to the number of wagers
per ticket, or multiples thereof, as designated by the director if a
multi-wager is requested at the player's discretion in accordance with the
number of game panels and inclusive drawings. If the director has determined,
pursuant to paragraph (B) of this rule, that a "Booster" option is an
available feature of game rule number fifty-five, and if a player chooses the
"Booster" option, the cost of the ticket for every one dollar wager
will be increased by one dollar for that drawing. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. Based upon the numbers drawn in each regular drawing for game rule
fifty-five, and based upon a one dollar wager, regular prize awards will be
awarded to holders of a valid winning ticket for that drawing as set forth
below. The total regular prize award for a valid winning ticket multiplies
according to the amount wagered on the ticket. If a valid winning ticket shows

or twenty dollars per drawing, the regular prize award shown below for a one
dollar wager will multiply according to the wager amount shown on the valid
winning ticket for that drawing. (1) If the valid winning

director will have the option to change the prizes and percentages which
represent the prize pools in each of the categories referred to in paragraphs
(D)(1) to (D)(38) of this rule. (39) No amounts will

individual drawing, there will be a jackpot prize cap of two million dollars
for tickets bearing selections which match all eight integers drawn on a

dollar jackpot prize cap by dividing each ticket's winning jackpot prize
total by the total of all winning jackpot prizes to determine each
ticket's proportional share of the two million dollars. (F) Frequency of prize drawings. Drawings
will be held at times determined by the director. (G) Manner of prize

dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, ten

winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will change as

nineteen are: five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, twenty-five dollars,
forty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars, five
hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, and ten thousand dollars, twenty
thousand and two million dollars. Numbers, prize values and play symbols
appearing on any ticket in game rule number five hundred nineteen shall be
concealed by an opaque covering, which may be scratched off by the holder of
the ticket to reveal the underlying numbers, prize values and play
symbols. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number five hundred nineteen shall
be twenty dollars. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. (1) There shall be one
type of prize in game rule number five hundred ninteen called a "prize
award." (2) As used in this rule,
"prize award" shall mean one of the following monetary figures, which
is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket: twenty
dollars, twenty-five dollars, forty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred
dollars, two hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten
thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars and an "Annuity Prize
Award" of eighty thousand dollars per year for twenty-five years before
taxes or the "Elected Cash Option" of approximately two million
dollars before taxes in lieu of the "Annuity Prize Award." Each
ticket in game rule number five hundred nineteen shall be imprinted in such a
way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won. (3) The number of prize
awards in any sales cycle of game rule number five hundred nineteen will depend
upon the number of tickets sold during that cycle. However, distribution and
availability for public purchase may be affected by, but not limited to,
circumstances such as stolen, defective, missing, damaged, promotional,
returned or reordered tickets. Tickets shall be printed in accordance with this
rule using random techniques. (a) Combinations winning each prize award are randomly
distributed throughout all tickets printed in any given ticket
issuance. (4) For each line in
column one of the appendix to this rule, except line seventy-seven the player
having the prize value and multiplier, if any, on that same line in columns
three and four shall win the prize award on that same line in column five. A
player having the prize value set forth on line seventy-seven of column four of
the appendix to this rule shall win either the "Annuity Prize
Award" or the "Elected Cash Option Prize Award." The amounts
set forth on line seventy-seven, of column five of the appendix to this rule
represent the estimated cost of annuity investment, at time of game
development, to fund the "Annuity Prize Award." In a pool of six
million tickets sold, mathematical reasoning suggests that the number of
tickets having the prize value and multiplier, if any, set forth on a given
lines in column three and four of the appendix to this rule should be as set
forth on that same line in column six. (E) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and
the number of winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will
change as prizes are won. (F) Frequency of prize
drawings. (1) Random imprinting of
prize awards on all tickets issued in game rule number five hundred nineteen
shall be accomplished in a manner, which complies with the commission's
rules and procedures. (2) When a ticket issued
in game rule number five hundred nineteen is sold or deemed sold in accordance
with this rule and the covering material over any of the numbers, prize values
and play symbols has been removed, the holder shall be deemed to have drawn the
numbers, prize values and play symbols on that ticket, which determine whether
the holder is entitled to a prize award. All prize awards shall be deemed
announced no later than the last day of the sales cycle of game rule number
five hundred nineteen in which the ticket was sold. (G) Special claim, entry, receipt and
validation procedures. The director shall establish special claim, entry,
receipt and validation procedures, including procedures for validation by sales
agents of tickets winning prize awards, which are to be paid by sales agents in
accordance with commission rules. Prize awards shall be claimed within the time
limits set forth by commission rules. (H) Validilty of tickets. (1) A mechanical error in
printing prize awards, symbols, words or other numbers on a ticket shall not
automatically invalidate that ticket. To the extent feasible, the director
shall establish procedures by which the holder of any ticket on which
information is incorrectly printed due to mechanical malfunction may be advised
of correct information for the ticket. If it is not technically feasible to
recover the information from a mechanically misprinted ticket, the director may
declare the ticket void and the holder shall be entitled to a return of the
ticket price or a replacement ticket of comparable price. (2) In addition to, but
not in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director
by the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game rule
number five hundred nineteen void if it is stolen, deactivated, not sold or
deemed not sold in accordance with commission rules; if it is illegible,
mutilated, altered, counterfeit, misregistered, reconstituted, miscut,
defective, printed or produced in error or incomplete; if the ticket fails any
of the validation tests or procedures established by the director; or if the
ticket is obtained in violation of commission rules, including, but not limited
to, by way of prize discounting prohibited under rule 3770-3-01 of the
Administrative Code. The commission's liability and responsibility for a
ticket declared void, if any, is limited to refund of the retail sales price of
the ticket or issuance of a replacement ticket of comparable
price. (I) Director's conduct of game rule
five hundred nineteen. (1) The director shall
conduct game rule number five hundred nineteen and any promotions or drawings
associated therewith in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act and the rules
of the commission including, without limitation, this rule. The director shall
inform the public of the provisions of this rule and the procedures established
pursuant hereto, which affect the play of game rule number five hundred
nineteen. The director reserves the right to declare any instant game as
unavailable for sale at any time to maintain game integrity and
accountability. (2) Names and definitions

Effective:
August 22, 2022
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery
commission game rule number seven hundred fifty-five, "Electric
7's" shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the
commission may determine. For the purposes of this rule, "sales
cycle" shall mean any such period, including reprints, beginning on the
date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date
established by the director as the date on which sales agents are to make their
final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in
game rule number seven hundred fifty-five. (B) General design. (1) Game rule number
seven hundred fifty-five is a reveal symbol and key number match game and is
generally known as an "instant lottery." (2) Holders of valid
tickets will remove the covering off the entire play area to reveal seven
"Electric Spots," eight "Winning Numbers," twenty
"Your Numbers," and twenty corresponding prize amounts. If the player
reveals a prize amount in any of the "Electric Spots," the player
wins that prize amount automatically. If the player matches one or more of the
"Winning Numbers" to one or more of "Your Numbers," the
player wins the corresponding prize amount automatically. If the player reveals
a "10X" symbol, the player wins ten times the prize shown. If the
player reveals a "20X" symbol, the player wins twenty times the prize
shown. If the player reveals a "50X" symbol, the player wins fifty
times the prize shown. If the player reveals a "100X" symbol, the
player wins one hundred times the prize shown. It the player reveals a
"Bolt of Lightning" symbol, the player wins all twenty prizes shown
automatically. There are twenty seven chances to win on each ticket, and a
player can win up to twenty seven times on one ticket. (3) The only "Prize
Values," which shall appear on a ticket in game rule seven hundred
fifty-five are: ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, twenty-five
dollars, thirty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred
dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, and
an "Annuity Prize Award" of eighty thousand dollars per year for
twenty five years before taxes or the "Elected Cash Option Prize
Award" of approximately one million dollars before taxes in lieu of the
"Annuity Prize Award." Numbers, prize values and play symbols
appearing on any ticket in game rule number seven hundred fifty-five shall be
concealed by an opaque covering, which may be scratched off by the holder of
the ticket to reveal the underlying numbers, prize values and play
symbols. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number seven hundred fifty-five
shall be twenty dollars. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. (1) There shall be one
type of prize in game rule seven hundred fifty-five, a "prize
award." (2) As used in this rule,
"prize award" shall mean one of the following monetary figures, which
is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket: twenty
dollars, twenty-five dollars, thirty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred
dollars, two hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten
thousand dollars, and an "Annuity Prize Award" of eighty thousand
dollars per year for twenty five years before taxes or the "Elected Cash
Option" of approximately one million dollars before taxes in lieu of the
"Annuity Prize Award." Each ticket in game rule number seven hundred
fifty-five shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set
listed above may be won. (E) Number of prize awards. The number of
prize awards in any sales cycle of game rule number seven hundred fifty-five
will depend upon the number of tickets sold during that cycle. However,
distribution and availability for public purchase may be affected by, but not
limited to, circumstances such as stolen, defective, missing, damaged,
promotional, returned or partial reordered tickets. Tickets shall be printed in
accordance with this rule using random techniques in order that the following
occur: (1) Combinations winning
each prize award are randomly distributed throughout all tickets printed in any
given ticket issuance. (2) For each line in
column one of the appendix to this rule, except line seventy-four, the player
having the prize value and multiplier, if any, on that same line in columns
three shall win the prize award on that same line in column four. A player
having the prize value set forth on line seventy-four of column three of the
appendix to this rule shall win either the "Annuity Prize Award" or
the "Elected Cash Option Prize Award." The amounts set forth on line
seventy-four of column four of the appendix to this rule represent the
estimated cost of annuity investment, at the time of game development, to fund
the "Annuity Prize Award." In a pool of four million tickets sold,
mathematical reasoning suggests that the number of tickets having the prize
value and multiplier, if any, set forth on a given line in column three of the
appendix to this rule should be as set forth on that same line in column
five. (F) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and
the number of winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will
change as prizes are won. (G) Frequency of prize
drawings. (1) Random imprinting of
prize awards on all tickets issued in game rule number seven hundred fifty-five
shall be accomplished in a manner, which complies with the commission's
rules and procedures. (2) When a ticket issued
in game rule number seven hundred fifty-five is sold or deemed sold in
accordance with this rule and the covering material over any of the numbers,
prize values and play symbols has been removed, the holder shall be deemed to
have drawn the numbers, prize values and play symbols on that ticket which
determine whether the holder is entitled to a prize award. All prize awards
shall be deemed announced no later than the last day of the sales cycle of game
rule number seven hundred fifty-five in which the ticket was sold. (H) Special claim, entry, receipt and
validation procedures. The director shall establish special claim, entry,
receipt and validation procedures, including procedures for validation by sales
agents of tickets winning prize awards which are to be paid by sales agents in
accordance with commission rules. Prize awards shall be claimed within the time
limits set forth by commission rules. (I) Validity of Tickets. (1) A mechanical error in
printing prize awards, symbols, words or other numbers on a ticket shall not
automatically invalidate that ticket. To the extent feasible, the director
shall establish procedures by which the holder of any ticket on which
information is incorrectly printed due to mechanical malfunction may be advised
of correct information for the ticket. If it is not technically feasible to
recover the information from a mechanically misprinted ticket, the director may
declare the ticket void and the holder shall be entitled to a return of the
ticket price or a replacement ticket of comparable price. (2) In addition to, but
not in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director
by the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game rule
number seven hundred fifty-five void if it is stolen, deactivated, not sold or
deemed not sold in accordance with commission rules; if it is illegible,
mutilated, altered, counterfeit, misregistered, reconstituted, miscut,
defective, printed or produced in error or incomplete; if the ticket fails any
of the validation tests or procedures established by the director; or if the

to, by way of prize discounting prohibited under rule 3770-3-01 of the
administrative code. The commission's liability and responsibility for a

the ticket or issuance of a replacement ticket of comparable
price. (J) Director's conduct of game rule
number seven hundred fifty-five. (1) The director shall

drawings associated therewith in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act and

number seven hundred fifty-five. The director reserves the right to declare any
instant game as unavailable for sale at any time to maintain game integrity and

of elements of game rule number seven hundred fifty-five used in this rule are
to be considered generic terms used solely for purposes of this rule. In actual
operation, game rule number seven hundred fifty-five and these elements may be
given names or titles chosen by the commission.

amounts are revealed and a "2X" symbol is revealed, the player wins
two times the amount shown. If two identical amounts are revealed and a
"5X" symbol is revealed, the player wins five times the amount shown.
If the player reveals an "ENTRY" symbol three times, the player

date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date
established by the director as the date on which sales agents are to make their
final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in

seven hundred eighty-two is a key number match game and is generally known as
an "instant lottery," and contains an Ohio lottery commission TV game
show feature. (2) Holders of valid
tickets will remove the opaque covering off the entire play area to reveal one
"Bonus Spot," four "Winning Numbers," fifteen "Your
Numbers," and fifteen corresponding prize amounts. If any one or more of
"Your Numbers" match any one or more of the "Winning
Numbers," the player wins the corresponding prize amount(s). If the player
reveals a "STAR" symbol, the player wins that prize automatically. If
the player reveals a "5X" symbol in the "Bonus Spot," the
player wins five times the total prize won automatically. If the player reveals
a "10X" symbol in the "Bonus Spot," the player wins ten
times the total prize won automatically. If the player reveals a
"25X" symbol in the "Bonus Spot," the player wins
twenty-five times the total prize won automatically. If the player reveals an
"ENTRY" symbol in the "Bonus Spot," the player becomes
eligible for a chance to be selected in a scheduled drawing to appear as a
contestant on the "Ohio Lottery Commission TV Game Show, Cash
Explosion Game Show." There are fifteen chances to win on each
ticket, and the player can win up to fifteen times on a ticket. (3) All holders of valid
winning tickets, which reveal an "ENTRY" symbol will become eligible
for a chance to be selected in a scheduled drawing to appear as a contestant on
the "Ohio Lottery Commission TV Game Show, Cash Explosion Game
Show" by complying with the special claim, entry, receipt, validation and
drawing requirements of the Ohio lottery commission's current game show

by the director. (4) The only "prize
values," which will appear on a ticket in game rule number seven hundred
eighty-two are: an "ENTRY" ticket symbol, a "STAR" symbol,
one dollar, two dollars, three dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten
dollars, twenty dollars, twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred
dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, ten
thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars, and one hundred fifty thousand
dollars. Numbers, prize values and play symbols appearing on any ticket in game
rule number seven hundred eighty-two will be concealed by an opaque covering,
which may be scratched off by the holder of the ticket to reveal the underlying
numbers, prize values and play symbols. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number seven hundred eighty-two
will be five dollars. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. (1) The type of prize to
be awarded in game rule number seven hundred eighty-two will be the prize
awards. Other types of prizes, "game show prizes," will be awarded in
each Ohio Lottery TV game show. (2) As used in this rule,
"prize award" will mean an "ENTRY" as described in

five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars,

dollars, ten thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars, and one hundred fifty
thousand dollars. (a) Each holder of a valid ticket on which three of the
prize values revealed are "ENTRY" ticket symbols will become eligible
for a chance to be selected in a scheduled drawing to appear as a contestant on
The Ohio Lottery TV game show, Cash Explosion Game Show. (3) Each eligible holder
of an "ENTRY" ticket whose name is drawn for participation in the
"Ohio Lottery Commission TV Game Show, Cash Explosion Game Show"
will be subject to the rules and regulations established by the director in the
Ohio lottery commission's current game show procedures. (The director will
have the discretion to establish bonus prizes and to modify prize amounts
awarded to contestants for promotional purposes.) (4) The number of prize
awards in any sales cycle of game rule number seven hundred eighty-two will
depend upon the number of tickets sold during that cycle. However, distribution
and availability for public purchase may be affected by, but not limited to,
circumstances such as stolen, defective, missing, damaged, promotional,
returned or partial reordered tickets. Tickets will be printed in accordance
with this rule using random techniques. (a) Combinations winning each prize award are randomly
distributed throughout all tickets printed in any given ticket
issuance. (5) For each line in
column one of the appendix to this rule, the player having the prize value and
multiplier, if any, on that same line in column three will win the prize award
on the same line in column four; and in a pool of eight million tickets sold,
mathematical reasoning suggests that the number of tickets having that prize
value and multiplier, if any, on a given line in column three should be as set
forth on that same line in column five. (E) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and
the number of winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will
change as prizes are won. (F) Frequency of prize
drawings. (1) Random imprinting of
prize awards on all tickets issued in game rule number seven hundred eighty-two
will be accomplished in a manner that complies with the commission's rules
and procedures. (2) When a ticket issued
in game rule number seven hundred eighty-two is sold or deemed sold in
accordance with this rule and the covering material over any of the play
symbols and prize symbol has been removed, the holder will be deemed to have
drawn the play symbols and prize symbols on that ticket, which determine
whether the holder is entitled to a prize award. All prize awards will be
deemed announced no later than the last day of the sales cycle of game rule
number seven hundred eighty-two in which the ticket was sold. (3) Drawings conducted
for the purposes of determining who will become entitled to appear as a
contestant on the "Ohio Lottery Commission TV game show, Cash
Explosion Game Show" and any other drawings conducted in connection
with a TV game show will comply with the rules and regulations of the
commission governing "prize drawings" and special lottery drawings as
set forth in rules 3770:1-6-05 and 3770:1-6-06 of the Administrative Code, as
applicable. (4) An Ohio Lottery TV
game show will be held on dates determined and announced by the
director. (G) Special claim, entry, receipt and
validation procedures. The director will establish special claim, entry,
receipt and validation procedures, including procedures for validation by sales
agents of tickets winning prize awards, which are to be paid by sales agents in
accordance with commission rules. Prize awards will be claimed within the time
limits set forth by commission rules. (H) Validity of tickets. (1) A mechanical error in
printing prize awards, symbols, words or other numbers on a ticket will not
automatically invalidate that ticket. To the extent feasible, the director will
establish procedures by which the holder of any ticket on which information is
incorrectly printed due to mechanical malfunction may be advised of correct
information for the ticket. If it is not technically feasible to recover the
information from a mechanically misprinted ticket, the director may declare the
ticket void and the holder will be entitled to a return of the ticket price or
a replacement ticket of comparable price. (2) In addition to, but
not in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director
by the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game rule
number seven hundred eighty-two void if it is stolen, deactivated, not sold or
deemed not sold in accordance with commission rules; if it is illegible,

of the validation tests or procedures established by the director; or if the

Administrative Code. The commission's liability and responsibility for a
ticket declared void, if any, is limited to refund of the retail sales price of
the ticket or issuance of a replacement ticket of comparable
price. (I) Director's conduct of game rule
number seven hundred eighty-two. (1) The director will
conduct game rule number seven hundred eighty-two and any promotions or
drawings associated therewith in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act and

date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date
established by the director as the date on which sales agents are to make their
final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in
game rule number seven hundred eighty-three. (B) General design. (1) Game rule number
seven hundred eighty-three is a key number match game and is generally known as
an "instant lottery." (2) Holders of valid
tickets will remove the covering over the entire play area to reveal two
"Bonus Boxes," six "Winning Numbers," twenty "Your
Numbers," and twenty corresponding prize amounts. If the player reveals a
"COIN" symbol in the left "Bonus Box," the player wins the
prize shown in that "Bonus Box" automatically. If the player reveals
a "MONEY" symbol in the right "Bonus Box," the player wins
the prize shown in that "Bonus Box" automatically. If the player
matches one or more of the "Winning Numbers" to one or more of
"Your Numbers," the player wins the corresponding prize amount(s)
automatically. If the player reveals a "DIAMOND" symbol, the player
wins that prize automatically. If the player reveals a "10X" symbol,
the player wins ten times the corresponding prize amount automatically. If the
player reveals a "20X" symbol, the player wins twenty times the
corresponding prize amount automatically. If the player reveals a "MONEY
BAG" symbol, the player wins all twenty prizes shown. There are twenty-two
chances to win on each ticket, and a player can win up to twenty-two times on
one ticket. (3) The only "prize
values," which will appear on a ticket in game rule number seven hundred
eighty-three are: five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars,
twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred fifty
dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, and
an "Annuity Prize Award" of forty thousand dollars per year for
twenty-five years before taxes or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize
Award" of approximately five hundred thousand dollars before taxes in lieu
of the "Annuity Prize Award." Numbers, prize values and play symbols
appearing on any ticket in game rule number seven hundred eighty-three will be
concealed by an opaque covering, which may be scratched off by the holder of
the ticket to reveal the underlying numbers, prize values and play
symbols. (C) Price of tickets. The price of a
ticket issued by the commission in game rule number seven hundred eighty-three
will be ten dollars. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. (1) There will be one
type of prize in game rule seven hundred eighty-three, a "prize
award." (2) As used in this rule,
"prize award" will mean one of the following monetary figures, which
is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket: ten dollars,
fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, one
hundred dollars, two hundred fifty dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand
dollars, two thousand five hundred dollars, ten thousand dollars, twenty
thousand dollars, and an "Annuity Prize Award" of forty thousand
dollars per year for twenty-five years before taxes or the "Elected Cash
Option" of approximately five hundred thousand dollars before taxes in
lieu of the "Annuity Prize Award." Each ticket in game rule number
seven hundred eighty-three will be imprinted in such a way that prize awards
from the set listed above may be won. (E) The number of prize awards in any
sales cycle of game rule number seven hundred eighty-three will depend upon the
number of tickets sold during that cycle. However, distribution and
availability for public purchase may be affected by, but not limited to,
circumstances such as stolen, defective, missing, damaged, promotional,
returned or partial reordered tickets. Tickets will be printed in accordance
with this rule using random techniques. (1) Combinations winning
each prize award are randomly distributed throughout all tickets printed in any
given ticket issuance. (2) For each line in
column one of the appendix to this rule, except line eighty-two, the player
having the prize value and multiplier, if any, on that same line in column
three will win the prize award on that same line in column four. A player
having the prize value set forth on line eighty-two of column three of the
appendix to this rule will win either the "Annuity Prize Award" or
the "Elected Cash Option Prize Award." The amounts set forth on line
eighty-two of column four of the appendix to this rule represent the estimated
cost of annuity investment, at time of game development, to fund the
"Annuity Prize Award." In a pool of four million tickets sold,
mathematical reasoning suggests that the number of tickets having the prize
value and multiplier, if any, set forth on a given line in column three of the
appendix to this rule should be as set forth on that same line in column
five. (F) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and
the number of winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will
change as prizes are won. (G) Frequency of prize
drawings. (1) Random imprinting of
prize awards on all tickets issued in game rule number seven hundred
eighty-three will be accomplished in a manner, which complies with the

accordance with this rule and the covering material over any of the numbers,
prize values and play symbols has been removed, the holder will be deemed to
have drawn the numbers, prize values and play symbols on that ticket, which

rule number seven hundred eighty-three in which the ticket was

agents of tickets winning prize awards, which are to be paid by sales agents in

by the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game rule
number seven hundred eighty-three void if it is stolen, deactivated, not sold

shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may
determine. For the purposes of this rule, "sales cycle" shall mean

are commenced and continuing through the date established by the director as

as an "instant lottery." (2) The holder of a valid
ticket will play each of the "Games" separately. In each
"Game" the player will scratch each of the "Circle" symbols
in that row. If the player reveals five "Arrow" symbols from
"Start" to "Finish" without revealing a "Stop"
symbol, the holder wins the prize shown for that "Game"
automatically. If a holder reveals a "2X," "5X," or
"10X" multiplier in any "Game," the holder will multiply
the prize amount shown for that "Game." Each "Game" is
played separately. There are four chances to win on each ticket, and a player
can win up to four times on one ticket. (3) The only "prize
values," which shall appear on a ticket in game rule number seven hundred
eighty-nine are: one dollar, two dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten

four dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one
hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand
dollars, and twenty thousand dollars. Each ticket in game rule number seven
hundred eighty-nine shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the

distribution and availability for public purchase may be affected by, but not
limited to, circumstances such as stolen, defective, missing, damaged,
promotional, returned or reordered tickets. Tickets shall be printed in
accordance with this rule using random techniques in order that the following
occur: (1) Combinations winning
each prize award are randomly distributed throughout all tickets printed in any
given ticket issuance; and (2) For each line in
column one of the appendix to this rule, the player having the prize value and
multiplier, if any, on that same line in column three shall win the prize award
on that same line in column four; and in a pool of six million tickets sold,

value and multiplier in column three, if any, should be as set forth on that
same line in column five. (F) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and
the number of winning tickets are established at the time of printing and will
change as prizes are won. (G) Frequency of prize
drawings. (1) Random imprinting of
prize awards on all tickets issued in game rule number seven hundred
eighty-nine shall be accomplished in a manner, which complies with the
commission's rules and procedures. (2) When a ticket issued

accordance with this rule and the covering material over any of the numbers,
prize values and play symbols has been removed, the holder shall be deemed to
have drawn the numbers, prize values and play symbols on that ticket, which
determine whether the holder is entitled to a prize award. All prize awards
shall be deemed announced no later than the last day of the sales cycle of game
rule number seven hundred eighty-nine in which the ticket was
sold. (H) Special claim, entry, receipt and
validation procedures. The director shall establish special claim, entry,
receipt and validation procedures, including procedures for validation by sales
agents of tickets winning prize awards, which are to be paid by sales agents in
accordance with commission rules. Prize awards shall be claimed within the time
limits set forth by commission rules. (I) Validity of tickets. (1) A mechanical error in

of correct information for the ticket. If it is not technically feasible to
recover the information from a mechanically misprinted ticket, the director may
declare the ticket void and the holder shall be entitled to a return of the
ticket price or a replacement ticket of comparable price. (2) In addition to, but

announced no later than the last day of the sales cycle of game rule number
eight hundred six in which the ticket was sold. (H) Special claim, entry, receipt and
validation procedures. The director shall establish special claim, entry,

of correct information for the ticket. If it is not technically feasible to
recover the information from a mechanically misprinted ticket, the director may
declare the ticket void and the holder shall be entitled to a return of the
ticket price or a replacement ticket of comparable price. (2) In addition to, but
not in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director

eight hundred seven is a key number match game and is generally known as an
"instant lottery." (2) Holders of valid
tickets will remove the covering over the entire play area on the front and
back of the ticket. The front and back of each ticket plays separately. On the
front of the ticket the player will reveal six "Winning Numbers,"
twenty "Your Numbers," and twenty corresponding prize amounts. If the
player matches one or more of "Your Numbers" to one or more of the
"Winning Numbers," the player wins the corresponding prize amount
automatically. If the player reveals a "Sunglasses" symbol the player
wins that prize shown automatically. If the player reveals a "10X"
symbol, the player wins ten times the prize shown. If the player reveals a
"20X" symbol, the player wins twenty times the prize shown. If the
player reveals a "Payout" symbol, the player wins all twenty prizes
shown automatically. On the back of the ticket the player will reveal ten
"Extra Groovy Play!" bonus spots. If the player reveals a
"$20," "$50," "$100," or "$500" prize
amount in any one of the "Extra Groovy Play" bonus spots, the player
wins the prize shown automatically. There are thirty chances to win on each
ticket, and a player can win up to thirty times on one ticket. (3) The only "prize
values," which shall appear on a ticket in game rule number eight hundred
seven are: five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars,
twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred fifty
dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, two thousand five hundred

multiplier, if any, on that same line in columns three and/or four shall win
the prize award on that same line in column five. In a pool of six million
tickets sold, mathematical reasoning suggests that the number of tickets having
the prize value and multiplier, if any, set forth on a given line in column
three and/or four of the appendix to this rule should be as set forth on that
same line in column six. (F) Tickets sold. Chances of winning and

which sets forth a player's selection and is identified by the following
two fields of play: one field of five numbers consisting of one or two digits
that were selected by the player or through the gaming system through the auto
pick feature, and second field of one number consisting of one or two digits

pecuniary or prize value, nor will a bet card constitute evidence of purchase
or number selection. When a player verbally places a "Powerball"

increased by one dollar if a player purchases the "Power Play"
option. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. Except as otherwise provided or authorized herein, all prize awards for

prizes. The grand prize described in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule will be paid
on a pari-mutuel basis. Except as otherwise determined in accordance with
applicable procedures, no advertised grand prize is a guaranteed amount. In the
event that an advertised grand prize is determined in accordance with
applicable procedures to be a guaranteed amount, funding and payment of such
guaranteed grand prize amounts will be in accordance with applicable
procedures. Except as otherwise provided or authorized herein, based upon the
numbers drawn in each regular drawing for game nine hundred fifty-five, prizes
will be awarded to holders of valid winning tickets for that drawing as
follows: (1) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches none of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of four dollars. (2) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches one of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of four dollars. (3) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches two of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of seven dollars. (4) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches three of the five numbers drawn for field
one, and no matching number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of seven dollars. (5) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches three of the five numbers drawn for field
one, and matching the one number for field two, the player will be entitled to
a set prize award of one hundred dollars. (6) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches four of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and no matching number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of one hundred dollars. (7) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches four of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of fifty thousand dollars. (8) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches five of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and no matching number for field two, the player will be entitled to a set
prize award of one million dollars. (9) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches five of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number for field two, the player will win the grand prize
award which will be divided equally among the winning selections if there is
more than one winning selection. The grand prize will be determined on a
pari-mutuel basis and will be equal to the amount designated in accordance with
applicable procedures. (10) In the event that
there are no winning tickets for the grand prize described in paragraph (D)(9)
of this rule for a drawing, except as otherwise approved in accordance with
applicable procedures, the designated grand prize amount from that drawing will
be carried forward into the grand prize for the next consecutive
drawing. (11) If the total prize
liability for the prize levels set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this
rule exceeds the liability cap designated in accordance with applicable
procedures, then that liability cap may be enforced for the payment of the
prize awards set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule. In the
event the prize liability is exceeded, then the prizes set forth in paragraphs
(D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, or in another
manner as determined by the director, rather than a set prize basis, provided,
however, that in no event will the pari-mutuel prizes or other prizes awarded
be greater than the applicable set prizes. In the event that the liability cap
is exceeded and prizes are paid on a pari-mutuel basis, the amounts to be used
for allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes, or other prizes awarded, for each
prize level will be determined in accordance with applicable procedures. If the
liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the director will make the
liability cap publicly available by means that the directors deems
appropriate. (12) In a single game
number nine hundred fifty-five drawing, a claimant may win in only one prize
category per wager as a result of processing winning numbers selected in either
one or both of the fields of play, and will be entitled to only the highest
prize level won. (13) Annuitized payments
of the grand prize or a share of the grand prize may be rounded to facilitate
the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized
grand prize win will be added to the first cash payment to the winner or
winners. Prizes other than the grand prize which, in accordance with applicable
procedures, become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so
that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from
rounding these prizes will be handled in accordance with applicable
procedures. (14) Subject to the laws
and regulations governing each party lottery, the number of prize categories
and the allocation of the prize fund among the prize categories may be changed
at the discretion of the directors. (E) "Power Play." Powerball
"Power Play" is an addition to the "Powerball" game and, if
approved by the director, will be conducted in accordance with the
"Powerball" game rules and other applicable procedures. Provided that
the director approves "Power Play," as used in this rule, "Power
Play" is an available feature of game rule number nine hundred fifty-five,
and a ticket purchaser will have the option to play the "Power Play"
option as an addition to the "Powerball" ticket purchased, except
that "Power Play" will not apply to the "Powerball" grand
prize. If the "Power Play" option is chosen by the purchaser, the
cost for every two dollar wager will be increased by one dollar, and the words
"Power Play YES" will be printed on the player's ticket. If the
"Power Play" option is not chosen, the words "Power Play
NO" will be printed on a player's ticket. The director may announce
prior to a drawing that the "Power Play" number of ten will not be
available for drawings in which the advertised grand prize amount is above a
specified amount, but the "Power Play" number of ten will at a
minimum be available for all drawings in which the advertised annuitized grand
prize amount is one hundred fifty million dollars or less. If the "Power
Play" option is chosen by the purchaser and the "Power Play"
number of ten is available, a single "Power Play" number will be
randomly selected from forty-three numbers. Those numbers will consist of:
twenty-four twos; thirteen threes; three fours; two fives; and one ten. If the
"Power Play" option is chosen by the purchaser and the "Power
Play" number of ten is not available, a single "Power Play"
option will be randomly selected from forty-two numbers. Those numbers will
consist of: twenty-four twos; thirteen threes; three fours; and two fives. The
set prizes will be multiplied by the "Power Play" number drawn for
that respective drawing, except that the "Power Play" feature will
not apply to the "Powerball" grand prize. Except as otherwise
provided or authorized herein, instead of prizes set forth under paragraphs
(D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule, prizes awarded to holders of valid winning
tickets for a given drawing bearing the numbers drawn in that drawing, in whole
or in part, and including the purchase of the "Power Play" option
will be as follows in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(8) of this rule and will be paid
as cash prizes. In the event that a higher promotional prize is designated by
the director in accordance with applicable procedures, prizes awarded in
connection with any such promotion will be paid in accordance with applicable

manner as determined by the director, rather than a set prize basis, provided,
however, that in no event will the pari-mutuel prizes or other prizes awarded

is exceeded and prizes are paid on a pari-mutuel basis, the amounts to be used
for allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes, or other prizes awarded, for each
prize level will be determined in accordance with applicable procedures. If the
liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the director will make the
liability cap publicly available by means that the directors deems
appropriate. (10) In a single game
number nine hundred fifty-five drawing, a claimant may win in only one prize
category per wager as a result of processing winning numbers selected in either

prize level won. (11) Prizes other than
the grand prize, which, in accordance with applicable procedures, become
single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be
paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding these
prizes will be handled in accordance with applicable procedures. (12) Subject to the laws
and regulations governing each party lottery, the number of prize categories
and the allocation of the prize fund among the prize categories may be changed
at the discretion of the directors. (F) Frequency and location of prize drawings. Drawings will be
held at such times and places determined by the directors. (G) Manner of prize drawings. (1) Prize drawings will
be open to the public and may be held at such places and times in any party
lottery jurisdiction that the directors determine. The public will be informed
as to the time and place of each prize drawing. (2) Holders of valid
tickets for a given drawing are eligible to win in that drawing. (3) All drawings
conducted in association with "Powerball" will be conducted randomly
in accordance with applicable procedures and with drawing devices for the
selection of winning numbers approved in accordance with applicable
procedures. (H) Validity of tickets. (1) It will be the sole
responsibility of each purchaser of a ticket in game number nine hundred
fifty-five to verify the accuracy of the game play or plays and other data
printed on the ticket. The Ohio lottery commission will be free from any
liability in connection with this paragraph. (2) Each ticket issued in
game number nine hundred fifty-five will have imprinted thereon at the time of
purchase a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the Ohio lottery
commission. No prize will be paid by the Ohio lottery commission for any
tickets without such control number or bar code data. A valid winning ticket
bearing matching player number selections or gaming system generated number
selections and also containing a control number, bar code data, or both,
supplied by the Ohio lottery commission, will serve as the only valid proof of
the wager placed and the only valid receipt for claiming or redeeming any prize
in game number nine hundred fifty-five. (3) As applicable to this
rule, any and all game tickets may not be canceled. This will not prohibit the
director, at the director's discretion, from compensating a retailer for a
returned ticket, which is not eligible to win a prize at the time it is
returned to the Ohio lottery commission, except that tickets stolen by a
retailer's employee or agent cannot be accepted as a returned ticket. Any
ticket that is accepted by the director as a returned ticket is for Ohio
lottery commission auditing purposes only and will have no effect on the
outcome of the drawing for which they were issued or reduce the Ohio lottery
commission's required contribution to the grand prize pool. (4) In addition to all
other validation conditions contained in this rule, valid winning game number
nine hundred fifty-five tickets will meet the following
conditions: (a) Validation data must be present in its entirety and needs to
correspond, using the computer validation file, to the number selections
printed on the ticket for the drawing date(s) printed on the

tampered with in any manner; (d) The ticket must not be counterfeit or an exact duplicate of
another winning ticket; (e) The ticket must have been issued by an authorized Ohio
lottery commission sales location authorized to sell tickets for game number
nine hundred fifty-five on official paper stock of the Ohio lottery
commission; (f) The ticket must be submitted for payment in accordance with
the Ohio lottery commission's validation and claiming
procedures; (g) The ticket data must have been recorded on the gaming system
prior to the drawing and the ticket data must match this computer record in
every respect (in the event of contradiction between the information as printed
on the ticket and as accepted by the gaming system, the wager accepted by the
gaming system will be the valid wager); (h) The player selected or gaming system selected number
selections, validation data and the drawing date(s) of an apparent winning
ticket must appear on the official file of winning tickets, and a ticket with
the exact data must not have been previously paid; (i) The ticket must not be misregistered, defectively printed or
printed or produced in error to an extent that it cannot be processed by the

and any instructions, conditions and final decisions of the Ohio
director; (l) There must not be any breach of the rules or applicable
procedures established for "Powerball" which, in the opinion of the
Ohio director, justifies disqualification; (m) To be eligible for payment for a winning ticket sold in Ohio,
all winning tickets must be presented for payment to the Ohio lottery within
the claiming period established by the Ohio lottery. To be eligible for payment
of a winning ticket sold in a party lottery other than the Ohio lottery, all
winning tickets must be presented for payment to the party lottery which issued
it within the claiming period as established by that party lottery. If no such
claim period has been established, all grand prize claims will be made within
one hundred eighty days after the drawing date; and (n) All winning tickets in game number nine hundred fifty-five
are subject to validation by the gaming system under applicable procedures and
are subject to all other required validation processes and requirements before
the payment of any prize. (5) An official game
number nine hundred fifty-five ticket submitted for validation which fails any
of the validation conditions established in this rule will be considered void
subject to the following determination: (a) In all cases of doubt, the determination of the director will
be final and binding. However, the director, at the director's option, may
replace an invalid ticket with an official game number nine hundred fifty-five
ticket of equivalent sales price or a refund of the purchase
price; (b) In the event a defective ticket is purchased or in the event
that the director determines to adjust an error, the sole and exclusive remedy
will be the replacement of such defective or erroneous ticket(s) with an
official game number nine hundred fifty-five ticket of equivalent sales price
or a refund of the purchase price; and (c) In the event an official game number nine hundred fifty-five
ticket is not paid by the Ohio lottery commission, and a dispute occurs as to
whether the ticket is a valid winning ticket, the Ohio lottery commission may,
at its option, replace the ticket or provide a refund of the purchase
price. (6) The Ohio lottery
commission will not be responsible for lost or stolen game number nine hundred
fifty-five tickets. (7) The Ohio lottery
commission will not be responsible to any claimant and sales agent for game
number nine hundred fifty-five tickets redeemed in error by an Ohio lottery
commission sales agent. (8) Valid prize winners
are determined by the numbers drawn and not the numbers reported. The Ohio
lottery commission will not be responsible for game number nine hundred
fifty-five winning numbers reported in error. (9) In purchasing a
ticket in game number nine hundred fifty-five, the player agrees to comply with
and be bound by all applicable statutes, administrative rules, and procedures
of the Ohio lottery commission, and understands that unless designated or
agreed to by the director, directives and determinations of the other party
lotteries do not apply to game number nine hundred fifty-five purchases in
Ohio. The player agrees, as its sole and exclusive remedy, that claims arising
out of any "Powerball" ticket purchase can only be pursued against
the state or jurisdiction of ticket purchase. Therefore, litigation, if any,
may only be maintained against the Ohio lottery commission in the appropriate
forum for game number nine hundred fifty-five tickets purchased at an
authorized Ohio lottery commission sales location. (10) For purposes of
determining the number of winning wagers, division of the grand prize jackpot
is contingent on the gaming system's determination of winning wagers sold,
and not by the number of winning wagers presented for payment. (I) Procedures for claiming and payment of prize
awards. (1) Effective upon a
determination of prize payouts, prizes will be redeemed or claimed only in the
jurisdiction where the official winning "Powerball" ticket was
purchased. Claimants of prizes in "Powerball" must comply with the
claiming periods of deadlines of the jurisdiction where the winning
"Powerball" ticket was purchased. Claimants of game number nine
hundred fifty-five prizes for winning tickets purchased in Ohio must comply
with the following terms and conditions: (a) Prizes for game number nine hundred fifty-five purchased in
Ohio may be redeemed or claimed only through Ohio lottery sales agents
authorized to sell game number nine hundred fifty-five, or other authorized
claim centers or locations designated by the Ohio lottery

prizes for tickets purchased in Ohio must comply with the prize claim

any promotional prizes associated with "Powerball," awarded by any
party lottery will not be paid to any persons prohibited from playing or
claiming an Ohio lottery prize by the governing law or rules of the Ohio
lottery commission. In addition, those persons designated by a party
lottery's law as being ineligible to play its games will also be
ineligible to play "Powerball," and any promotions associated
therewith, in that party lottery's jurisdiction; (f) A "Powerball" ticket or a share of
"Powerball" ticket, or any promotional tickets associated with
"Powerball," issued by any party lottery will not be purchased by,
and a prize won by any such ticket or share will not be paid to: (i) A "MUSL"
employee, officer, or director; (ii) A contractor or
consultant under agreement with "MUSL" to review the "MUSL"
audit and security procedures; (iii) An employee of an
independent accounting firm under contract with "MUSL" to observe

member (parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, spouse or sibling) of an
individual described in paragraphs (I)(1)(f)(i) to (I)(1)(f)(iii) of this rule
and residing in the same household. (g) For winning official game number nine hundred fifty-five
tickets purchased in Ohio for which no claim or redemption is made within one
hundred eighty days after the date of the drawing as required by the procedures
set forth in Ohio lottery commission rules, following any required
reconciliation of prize liability as may be agreed to from time to time by the
directors of the party lotteries, such unclaimed prize(s) will be paid into the
state lottery fund and distributed in accordance with section 3770.06 of the
Revised Code. (J) Payment of grand prize jackpot award. (1) Payment of a grand
prize, if due, will be paid in thirty annual payments ("annuity
option"). Within sixty days after a holder of a valid winning ticket
presents for payment his or her valid claim for a grand prize, he or she may
elect to receive payment of a grand prize as a lump sum cash payment
("lump sum cash option"). Calculation of the amount of "lump sum
cash option" or the amount of the "annuity option" will be in
accordance with applicable procedures. Grand prizes will be paid, at the
election of the player made not later than sixty days after the player becomes
entitled to the prize, with either an annuity or cash payment. If the payment
election is not made by the player within sixty days after the player becomes
entitled to the prize, then the prize will be paid as an annuity prize. The
election to take the cash payment may be made at the time of the prize claim or
within sixty days after the player becomes entitled to the prize. An election
made after the winner becomes entitled to the prize is final and cannot be
revoked, withdrawn or otherwise changed. (2) Share of the grand
prize will be determined by dividing the cash available in the grand prize pool
equally among all winning grand prize wagers from all participating party
lotteries. Winner(s) who elect a cash payment will be paid their share(s) in a
single cash payment. The annuitized option prize will be determined by
multiplying a winner's share of the grand prize by the annuity factor. If
individual shares of the cash held to fund an annuity is less than two hundred
fifty thousand dollars, the Ohio lottery may elect, in its sole discretion, to
pay the winners their share of the cash held in the grand prize pool. In the
event that a claim is submitted jointly by one or more persons, all persons
submitting that claim must elect to receive his or her share either through a
cash payment or annuity payment (different options may not be
chosen). (3) The "MUSL"
annuity factor is determined through a process as approved by the
"MUSL" finance and audit committee. (4) Except in those
instances where the grand prize has been designated as a guaranteed amount in
accordance with applicable procedures, neither "MUSL" nor the party
lotteries will be responsible or liable for changes in the advertised or
estimated annuity prize amount and the actual amount purchased after the prize
payment method is actually known to "MUSL." (5) Except as otherwise provided by law,
all annuitized prizes will be paid annually in thirty payments with the initial
payment being made in cash, to be followed by twenty-nine payments funded by
the annuity, and all annuitized payments will be paid in thirty graduated
payments (increasing each year) by a rate as determined in accordance with
applicable procedures. Prize payments may be rounded down to the nearest one
thousand dollars. After the first initial payment, annual payments will
coincide with the anniversary month of the grand prize. (6) Payment of prize payments upon the
death of a prize winner. In the event of the death of a prize winner, payments
will be made in accordance with rule 3770:1-8-01 of the Administrative Code and
applicable procedures, relating to payment and calculation of the cash value of
prize payments in a statewide joint lottery game upon the death of a prize
winner. (K) Payment of prizes other than grand prize. All prizes, other
than the grand prize, will be paid in cash through the party lottery that sold
the winning ticket(s). Payment of all prizes, other than the grand prize, may
be made after a party lottery receives authorization to pay from
"MUSL." In accordance with applicable procedures, in the event that
the total amount of any prizes exceeds the percentage of the prize pool
allocated to those prizes, then in such an event, the prizes may be paid on a
pari-mutuel basis in accordance with applicable procedures. (L) Net proceeds to lottery profits education fund. The entire
net proceeds from the sale of game number nine hundred fifty-five in Ohio that
remain after associated operating expenses, prize disbursements, lottery sales
agent bonuses, commissions, and reimbursements, and any other expenses
necessary to comply with the agreements or the rules are deducted from the
gross proceeds of game number nine hundred fifty-five, will be transferred to
the lottery profits education fund as required under division (B) of section
3770.06 of the Revised Code. (M) Conduct by director(s) in game number nine hundred
fifty-five. (1) The director will

considered generic terms used solely for the purpose of this rule. (3) The director may

nine hundred fifty-five, the director will designate the applicable procedures
to be followed in discontinuing drawings conducted pursuant to game number nine
hundred fifty-five. Should the directors determine that "Powerball"
will be discontinued and replaced by a modified version of
"Powerball" or another statewide joint lottery game with a grand
prize agreed to by the party lotteries, then the directors will have the
discretion to transfer any existing funds from the "Powerball" grand
prize that was not won before such drawings were discontinued, to such new
statewide joint lottery game. (4) The directors will
have discretion to authorize any funding mechanism deemed necessary to
accomplish payment of any prize pool or any prizes. The directors may

party lottery offers "Powerball" tickets as a prize or as part of an
authorized discount, promotion or rebate, the party lottery will contribute

"Grand/Jackpot Prize" paid in a lump sum as determined by the
directors or their designees. The cash "Grand/Jackpot Prize" will be
an amount less than the annuity "Grand/Jackpot Prize". (7) As used in this rule,
"annuity Grand/Jackpot Prize" will mean the annuity value of a
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" based on the investment by the Ohio lottery
commission of the cash "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount to fund an annual
installment payment stream over thirty years as determined by the directors or
their designees. (8) As used in this rule,
"Ohio lottery" will mean the Ohio lottery commission. (9) As used in this rule,
"Ohio director" will mean the executive director of the Ohio lottery
commission. (10) As used in this
rule, game number nine hundred fifty-eight "panel or play area" will
mean the area of an official "Mega Millions" ticket identified
by the following two fields of play: one field of five numbers consisting of
one or two digits that were selected by the player or the lottery gaming system
, and a second field of one number consisting of one or two digits selected by
the player or the lottery gaming system. Up to five such panels or play areas
may appear on any one ticket in game number nine hundred fifty-eight. The
director may change the number of panels or play areas appearing on any one
ticket in game number nine hundred fifty-eight. Each panel will constitute a
separate wager. (11) Each ticket in game
number nine hundred fifty-eight will be imprinted with one set of five unique
numbers from a set of numbers, one through seventy inclusively ("field
one"), and one unique number from a second set of numbers, one through
twenty-five, inclusively ("field two"), as determined by the choice
of the ticket purchaser or the auto pick feature of the on-line computer
system, and recorded on the ticket at the time of purchase. Players may use a
bet card to have the auto pick feature select their numbers in either field
one, field two or both fields. Players may also use a bet card to manually
select their numbers in either field one, field two or both fields. (Bet cards
are available at no cost to the player and will have no pecuniary or prize
value, nor will they constitute evidence of purchase or number selections).
When a player orally places a "Mega Millions" wager, the player
must either manually select numbers from both fields or request usage of the
auto pick feature to select numbers from both fields. A ticket may include one
or more panels as described in paragraph (B)(10) of this rule. (12) As used in this
rule, game number nine hundred fifty-eight winning numbers will be randomly
selected during each official "Mega Millions" drawing, and will
consist of five numbers selected from a field of numbers one through seventy,
inclusively, and one number selected from a second field of numbers one through
twenty-five, inclusively. Holders of valid winning tickets for a given drawing
bearing the numbers drawn in that drawing, in whole or in part, will be
entitled to a prize award in accordance with the applicable paragraph(s) of
this rule. The prize awarded to holders of winning tickets may be dependent
upon whether a player has purchased the "Megaplier"
feature. (13) Tickets purchased in
game number nine hundred fifty-eight are automatically deemed by the lottery
gaming system to reflect payment of the "Grand/Jackpot Prize" in
thirty annual installments. As set forth at paragraph (J)(3) of this rule, at
the time of claim, any "Grand/Jackpot Prize" winner(s) who purchased
their game number nine hundred fifty-eight ticket(s) from an authorized Ohio
lottery sales agent will have sixty calendar days from the date of the
presentation for payment of their valid claim to the Ohio lottery commission,
to opt for a cash "Grand/Jackpot Prize" known as the "cash
option." All other prizes, other than the "Grand/Jackpot Prize"
in game number nine hundred fifty-eight, will be paid out in a lump
sum. (C) Price of tickets. (1) Except as provided in
paragraph (C) (2) of this rule, the price of a wager for the game as described
in paragraphs (B) to (D) of this rule issued by the Ohio lottery commission in
game number nine hundred fifty-eight will be two dollars. The player may
purchase up to the number of wagers per ticket, or multiples thereof, as
designated by the director if a multi-draw wager is requested at the
player's discretion in accordance with the number of game panels and
inclusive drawings. The cost of every two dollar wager will be increased by one
dollar if the player purchases the "Megaplier" feature.
"Megaplier" is not applicable to the "Grand Prize
Jackpot". (2) In addition or
alternatively, there is a subset of "Mega Millions Tickets"
known as "Just The Jackpot" tickets which may be purchased
for three dollars per two plays for only the "Grand/Jackpot Prize"
(which excludes all other prizes), or multiples thereof, in accordance with the
rules of the Ohio lottery commission. The player receives two plays for each
three dollars wagered for the chance to win only the "Grand/Jackpot
Prize". If the player matches any non-"Grand/Jackpot" prize
numbers, the player who purchased a "Just The Jackpot"
ticket is not eligible to win those non-"Grand/Jackpot" prizes. The
availability and cost of any "Add-on Game," as defined in this rule,
or "Just the Jackpot" will be determined by the Ohio lottery
commission, will not be included in the cost of the official "Mega
Millions" ticket, and will be subject to the applicable statutes and
administrative regulations of the Ohio lottery commission. Megaplier is not
applicable to the "Grand/Jackpot Prize" in connection with the
"Just the Jackpot" ticket. (D) Structure, nature and value of prize
awards. Based upon the numbers drawn in each regular drawing for game number
nine hundred fifty-eight, prizes will be awarded to holders of valid tickets
for that drawing as follows: (1) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches none of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of two dollars; (2) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches one of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of four dollars; (3) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches three of the five numbers drawn for field
one, and no matching number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of ten dollars; (4) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches two of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of ten dollars; (5) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches three of the five numbers drawn for field
one, and matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will be
entitled to a regular prize award of two hundred dollars. (6) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches four of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and no matching number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to a
regular prize award of five hundred dollars. (7) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches four of the five numbers drawn for field one,
and matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of ten thousand dollars. (8) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches all five of the five numbers drawn for field
one, and no matching number drawn for field two, the player will be entitled to
a regular prize award of one million dollars. (9) For each ticket
bearing a selection which matches all five numbers drawn for field one, and
matching the one number drawn for field two, the player will win the
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" award which will be divided equally among the
winning selections if there is more than one winning selection. Except as
otherwise designated by the directors or their designees, the prize pool to be
paid will be equal to the amount designated by the directors, following the
drawing, as the cash "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount rather than an
annuity "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount. The directors or their
designees may advertise estimated cash "Grand/Jackpot Prize" or
annuity "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amounts for each drawing. Except as
otherwise determined by the directors or their designees, advertised cash or
annuity "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amounts are not guaranteed amounts.
Except as otherwise determined by the directors or their designees, the cash
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount designated by the directors or their
designees following a drawing will be the basis for determining the amount to
be awarded for each valid winning ticket matching all five of the five winning
numbers drawn for field one and one winning number drawn for field two.
Advertised cash or annuity "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amounts may be
forecasted for each drawing by the directors or their designees based upon
expected sales, but, unless the directors or their designees have determined
that such advertised amounts are guaranteed amounts, any such amounts
forecasted for purposes of advertisement are not guaranteed amounts. In any
event, the directors or their designees will have discretion to change the
prizes and percentages which represent the prize pools in each of the
categories referred to in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(9) of this
rule. (10) The minimum total
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount in any "Grand/Jackpot" for
which at least one ticket bears a winning selection which matches five of the
five numbers drawn for field one, and matches one number drawn for field two,
as validated by the lottery gaming sytem, will be an amount designated by the
directors or their designees, and will be divided equally among the holders of
the winning tickets if there is more than one winning ticket. If the
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount that is divided by the number of prize
winners matching five winning numbers for field one and one winning number for
field two is less than one million dollars, each "Grand/Jackpot
Prize" winner will be paid in a single cash payment in an amount equal to
the cash option "Grand/Jackpot Prize" divided equally by the number
of "Grand/Jackpot Prize" winners. The directors may set the
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" at levels higher than the minimum amount in
accordance with paragraph (D)(9) of this rule. (11) Any amounts
remaining in the prize pools described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this
rule after any given drawing, due to residual amounts after prize
disbursements, will be retained by the party lotteries. (12) When there are no
winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in paragraph (D)(9) of this
rule, the directors will carry the prize pool amount forward into the
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" for the next consecutive drawing. (13) When there are no
winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in paragraph (D)(9) of this
rule, the "Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount will roll pari-mutuelly based
on sales as set by the directors, however, the directors may establish a
"Grand/Jackpot Prize" amount higher than that amount. (14) If the total prize
liability for the prize levels described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this
rule exceeds the liability cap agreed upon by the directors, then that
liability cap may be enforced for the payment of the prize awards set forth in
paragraphs (D)(5) to (D)(8) of this rule. In the event the liability cap is
exceeded, then the prizes set forth in paragraphs (D)(5) to (D)(8) of this rule
may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, or in another manner as determined by the
directors, rather than fixed prize basis, provided, however, that in no event
will the pari-mutuel prizes or other prizes awarded be greater than the
applicable fixed prizes. In the event that the liability cap is exceeded and
prizes are paid on a pari-mutual basis, or in another manner as determined by
the directors, the amounts used for allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes, or
other prizes awarded, for each prize level will be determined by the directors.
If the liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the Ohio director
will make the amount of the liability cap publicly available by means that the
Ohio director deems appropriate. For purposes of prize calculation with respect
to any game number nine hundred fifty-eight pari-mutuel prize, the calculation
will be rounded down so that prizes will be paid in multiples of one
dollar. (15) In a single game
number nine hundred fifty-eight drawing, a claimant may win in only one prize
category per wager as a result of possessing winning numbers selected in either
one or both fields of play, and will be entitled only to the highest prize
level won. (16) Subject to the laws
and regulations governing each party lottery, the number of prize categories
and the allocation of the prize fund among the prize categories may be changed
at the discretion of the directors for promotional purposes. Such change will
be announced by public notice. (E) In addition to the game described in
paragraphs (B) to (D) of this rule, and where applicable in accordance with
this rule, a player will have an option to play "The
"Megaplier"." If a player selects the "Megaplier"
feature, the words "Megaplier Yes" will be printed on the
player's ticket. If a player does not select the "Megaplier"
feature, the words ""Megaplier" No" will be printed on the
player's ticket. (1) The cost of every two
dollar "Mega Millions" wager will be increased by one dollar if the
player purchases "The "Megaplier"" feature. (2) In connection with
the "Megaplier" feature, if said feature is an available feature, for
purposes of the prize levels set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(7) of this
rule, a drawing will occur prior to each "Mega Millions" drawing to
select, unless otherwise approved by the director, a multiplier number from one
of the following fifteen numbers: two, two, two, two, two, three, three, three,
three, three, three, four, four, four, and five. As determined by the director,
multiplier numbers other than two, three, four, or five including but not
limited to numbers higher than five may be used for promotions. In the event of
a winning ticket, the multiplier number selected will only apply to the prize
levels set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule. The multiplier
number selected is not applied to or does not impact the prize award set forth
in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule. In the event of a winning ticket, as set
forth in paragraph (E)(2)(h) of this rule, purchase of the
"Megaplier" feature will increase the regular prize award set forth
in paragraph (D)(8) of this rule. Purchase of the "Megaplier" feature
will not multiply, increase or impact the "Grand/Jackpot Prize" award
set forth in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule. A player who chooses the
"Megaplier" feature, will win the prize awards set forth in this
paragraph which will be in lieu of the prize awards set forth in paragraphs
(D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule, not in addition to the prize awards set forth
therein. "Megaplier" does not apply to "Just The Jackpot
tickets." (a) For each ticket bearing a selection which matches none of the
five numbers drawn for field one, and matching the one number drawn for field
two, and in the event that the player has purchased the "Megaplier"
feature and a multiplier number of two is selected, the regular prize award of

awarded under paragraphs (E)(2)(a) to (E)(2)(h) will be in lieu of the prize
awards set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule, not in addition
to the prize awards set forth therein. (F) Frequency and location of prize
drawings. Drawings will be held at such times and places determined by the
directors. (G) Manner of prize
drawings. (1) All drawings

held at such places and times in any party lottery jurisdictions that the
directors will determine. The directors will inform the public as to the time
and place of each prize drawing. (2) All holders of valid
tickets for a given drawing are eligible to win in that drawing. (3) All drawings in
connection with the "Mega Millions" will be conducted randomly
in accordance with procedures approved by the directors. For every drawing in
connection with "Mega Millions", the directors will approve
operating procedures and drawing devices to be used in the selection of winning
numbers and the awarding of prizes. (H) Validity of tickets. (1) Each purchaser of
tickets in game number nine hundred fifty-eight will be responsible for
verifying that the numbers imprinted on such tickets are those requested, that
the purchase price paid is the price recorded on such ticket, and that such
ticket has recorded thereon the type of wager(s) and the drawing date(s)
therefor that the purchaser desired to make. The Ohio lottery commission will
be free of any liability in connection with this paragraph. (2) Each ticket issued in
game number nine hundred fifty-eight will have imprinted thereon at the time of
purchase, a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the Ohio
lottery commission. No prize will be paid by the Ohio lottery commission for
any tickets without such control number or bar code data. A valid winning
ticket bearing matching player or lottery gaming system number selections and
also containing a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the Ohio
lottery commission, will serve as the only valid proof of the wager placed and
the only valid receipt for claiming or redeeming any prize. Each party lottery
follows the same requirements set forth in this paragraph. (3) As applicable to this
rule, any and all game tickets, including the "Megaplier" feature,
may not be canceled. (4) Valid winning game
number nine hundred fifty-eight tickets must meet the following
conditions: (a) Validation data must be present in its entirety and must
correspond, using the computer validation file, to the number selections
printed on the ticket for the drawing date(s) printed on the
ticket; (b) The ticket must be intact; (c) The ticket must not be mutilated, altered, reconstituted, or
tampered with in any manner; (d) The ticket must not be counterfeit or an exact duplicate of
another winning ticket; (e) The ticket must have been issued by an authorized Ohio
lottery commission sales agent on official paper stock of the Ohio lottery
commission; (f) The ticket must not have been stolen, to the knowledge of the
Ohio lottery; (g) The ticket must be submitted for payment in accordance with
the Ohio lottery commission's validation and claiming
procedures; (h) The ticket data must have been recorded on the central
computer system prior to the drawing and the ticket data must match this
computer record in every respect (in the event of a contradiction between the
information as printed on the ticket and as accepted by the Ohio lottery
commission lottery gaming system, the wager accepted will be the valid
wager); (i) The player or computer number selections, validation data and
the drawing date(s) of an apparent winning ticket must appear on the official
file of winning tickets, and a ticket with that exact data must not have been
previously paid; (j) The ticket must not be misregistered, defectively printed or
printed or produced in error to an extent that it cannot be processed by the
Ohio lottery commission; (k) The ticket must pass all other confidential security checks
of the Ohio lottery commission; (l) In submitting an official game number nine hundred
fifty-eight ticket for validation, the claimant agrees to abide by applicable
laws, all rules and regulations of the Ohio lottery commission, and any
instructions, conditions and final decisions of the Ohio director; (m) There must not be any other breach of the rules described
herein in relation to the ticket which, in the opinion of the Ohio director,
justifies disqualification; and (n) To be eligible for payment, all winning tickets must be
presented for payment to the party lottery which issued it within the claiming
period as established by that party lottery. (5) All winning tickets
in game number nine hundred fifty-eight are subject to validation by the
on-line computer system under procedures established by the Ohio director
before the payment of any prize. (6) An official game
number nine hundred fifty-eight ticket submitted for validation which fails any
of the validation conditions as established in paragraph (H)(4) of this rule
will be considered void, subject to the following determination: (a) In all cases of doubt, the determination of the Ohio director
will be final and binding. However, the Ohio director, at his/her option, may
replace an invalid ticket with an official game number nine hundred fifty-eight
ticket of equivalent sales price or a refund of the purchase
price; (b) In the event a defective ticket is purchased or in the event
that the Ohio director determines to adjust an error, the sole and exclusive
remedy will be the replacement of such defective or erroneous ticket(s) with an
official game number nine hundred fifty-eight ticket of equivalent sales price
or a refund of the purchase price; and (c) In the event an official game number nine hundred fifty-eight
ticket is not paid by the Ohio lottery commission, and a dispute occurs as to
whether the ticket is a valid winning ticket, the Ohio lottery commission may,
at its option, replace the ticket or provide a refund of the purchase
price. (7) The Ohio lottery
commission will not be responsible for lost or stolen game number nine hundred
fifty-eight tickets. (8) The Ohio lottery
commission will not be responsible to any claimant and sales agent for game
number nine hundred fifty-eight tickets redeemed in error by an Ohio lottery
commission sales agent. (9) Valid prize winners
are determined by the numbers drawn and not the numbers reported. The Ohio
lottery commission will not be responsible for game number nine hundred
fifty-eight winning numbers reported in error. (10) In purchasing a
ticket issued for game number nine hundred fifty-eight, the player agrees to
comply with and be bound by all applicable statutes, administrative
regulations, and procedures of the Ohio lottery commission, and understands
that the directives and determinations of the other party lotteries do not
apply to game number nine hundred fifty-eight purchases in Ohio. The player
agrees, as its sole and exclusive remedy, that claims arising out of any
"Mega Millions" ticket purchase can be pursued only against the
state or jurisdiction of ticket purchase. Therefore, litigation, if any, may
only be maintained against the Ohio lottery commission in the appropriate forum
for game number nine hundred fifty-eight tickets purchased at an authorized
Ohio lottery sales agent location. (11) For the purpose of
determining the number of winning wagers, division of the "Grand/Jackpot
Prize" is contingent on the on-line computer system's determination

bet-type, as determined by the choice of the ticket purchaser, or the auto pick
feature of the on-line gaming computer system, and recorded on the ticket at
the time of purchase. If the player chooses the "Lucky Number"
bet-type, the player must match their number to "The Lucky One"
