This present value transfer is less than the advertised jackpot.
(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 shall 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 instead of annual installments. 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 shall be paid in twenty-six annual installments as provided for herein. The discounted cash value of a jackpot amount shall 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 “Lot ‘O PlayT” jackpot ticket may be paid pursuant to these rules in either annual installments or in a discounted cash value lump sum. Prize winners who claim a joint prize from a single winning ticket will all receive prize payments in either 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.
(I) Director’s conduct of game rule number fifty.
(1) The director shall conduct game rule number fifty in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act, the rules of the commission, including without limitation this rule, and the regulations of the director. As deemed necessary or advisable, the director shall adopt management regulations, orders or directives to implement and operate this lottery game.

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 on-line computer system will be achieved.
(H) Validity of tickets.
(1) Each purchaser of tickets in game rule number fifty-three shall 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 shall be free of any liability in connection with this paragraph.
(2) Each ticket issued in game rule number fifty-three shall have imprinted thereon at the time of purchase a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the commission. No prize shall 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 on-line gaming computer 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 on-line gaming computer 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 LottoŽ 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 shall not be less than the jackpot prize award won, less state and federal income tax withholdings or any other withholdings required by law. As dictated by the interest rate set by the treasurer of state, the lottery transfers to the deferred prize trust fund an amount of cash determined by the director which equals the present value of the gross prize award won in a drawing to supply investment principal for funding long-term prize obligations, less the amount determined to be payable to the winner as a first annual installment. This present value transfer is less than the advertised jackpot.
(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 shall 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 shall be paid in thirty annual installment payments as provided for herein. The discounted cash value of a jackpot amount shall 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 LottoŽ 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 shall 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. As deemed necessary or advisable, the director shall adopt management regulations, orders or directives to implement and operate this lottery game.
(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 shall 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.

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 shall be determined in accordance with applicable procedures.

(7) The Ohio lottery commission shall not be responsible to any claimant and sales agent for game number fifty-six 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 shall not be responsible for game number fifty-six winning numbers reported in error.
(9) In purchasing a ticket in game number fifty-six, 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 fifty-six 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 fifty-six 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 shall 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 fifty-six prizes for winning tickets purchased in Ohio must comply with the following terms and conditions:

In addition, those persons designated by a party lottery’s law as being ineligible to play its games shall 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 shall not be purchased by, and a prize won by any such ticket or share shall not be paid to:

(g) For winning official game number fifty-six 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) shall 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 jackpot, if due, shall 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 jackpot, he or she may elect to receive payment of a grand jackpot 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” shall be in accordance with applicable procedures. Grand prizes shall 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 shall 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 shall be determined by dividing the cash available in the grand prize jackpot pool equally among all winning grand prize jackpot wagers from all participating party lotteries. Winner(s) who elect a cash payment shall be paid their share(s) in a single cash payment. The annuitized option prize shall 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 annuity factor is determined by the best total securities price obtained through a competitive bid of qualified, pre-approved brokers made after it is determined that the prize is to be paid as an annuity prize or after the expiration of sixty days after a winner becomes entitled to a prize.
(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 shall 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 shall 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 shall 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 shall coincide with the anniversary month of the jackpot.
(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 jackpot prize, shall be paid in cash through the party lottery that sold the winning ticket(s). Payment of all prizes, other than the grand prize jackpot 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 fifty-six 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 fifty-six, shall 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 fifty-six.
(1) The director shall conduct game number fifty-six and any promotions conducted in association with game number fifty-six in a manner consistent with the Ohio Lottery Act, the rules of the Ohio lottery commission, including without limitation this rule, and the regulations of the director. As deemed necessary or advisable, the director shall adopt management regulations, orders or directives to implement and operate this Ohio lottery game and any promotions conducted in association with this Ohio lottery game.
(2) Names and definitions of elements of game number fifty-six used in this rule are considered generic terms used solely for the purpose of this rule.
(3) The director may discontinue drawings conducted pursuant to game number fifty-six. In the event that Ohio discontinues drawings conducted pursuant to game number fifty-six, the director shall designate the applicable procedures to be followed in discontinuing drawings conducted pursuant to game number fifty-six. Should the directors determine that “Powerball” shall be discontinued and replaced by a modified version of “Powerball” or another statewide joint lottery game with a grand prize jackpot agreed to by the party lotteries, then the directors shall have the discretion to transfer any existing funds from the “Powerball” grand prize jackpot that was not won before such drawings were discontinued, to such new statewide joint lottery game.
(4) The directors shall have discretion to authorize any funding mechanism deemed necessary to accomplish payment of any prize pool or any prizes. The directors may collectively authorize sale of “Powerball” tickets at a discount for promotional purposes. In addition, the director may authorize sale of game number fifty-six tickets at a discount for promotional purposes within the state of Ohio, provided that such discounted sales are reported to the other party lotteries at full gross sales value.
(5) Nothing contained in this rule shall prohibit a party lottery from offering Powerball tickets as prizes in any other non-MUSL game or promotion operated by the party lottery after advising the party lotteries and MUSL of the terms and dates of the offering.
(6) In the event that a party lottery offers “Powerball” tickets as a prize or as part of an authorized discount, promotion or rebate, the party lottery shall contribute that party lottery’s share of the prizes based on the full value of a ticket sold at a uniform price.
(7) In the event of any conflict between MUSL’s “Powerball” rules and the statutes, rules or regulations of the Ohio lottery commission, the Ohio lottery commission statutes, rules and regulations shall control.
(8) All decisions made by the director with respect to the play of game number fifty-six in Ohio, including but not limited to the declaration of prizes and the payment thereof and the interpretation of Ohio lottery commission rules, shall be final and binding on all purchasers and on every person making a claim in respect thereof.

(A) Title and term. Game number fifty-seven is the Ohio-adopted modified version of the “Powerball” game for Powerball draws beginning January 18, 2012. Game number fifty-seven shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the director may determine. For the purpose of this rule, “sales cycle” shall mean any such period beginning on the date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date established by the Ohio lottery commission executive director as the date on which sales agents are to make final settlement with respect to such period.
(B) General Design.
(1) “Powerball” is a statewide joint lottery game that is based on an agreement for the sale of “Powerball” by participating party lotteries.
(2) As used in this rule, “Powerball” shall hereinafter be referred to as “game number fifty-seven” as it applies to statewide ticket sales in Ohio conducted by the Ohio lottery commission.
(3) As used in this rule, “MUSL” shall mean the multi-state lottery association.
(4) As used in this rule, “panel or play area” shall mean the area of an official “Powerball” ticket 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 selected by the player or through the gaming system through the auto pick feature. Up to ten such panels or play areas may appear on any one ticket in game number fifty-seven. The director may change the number of panels or play areas appearing on any one ticket in game number fifty-seven. Each panel shall constitute a separate wager.
(5) As used in this rule, “party lottery” or “party lotteries” shall mean the lottery or lotteries established and operated pursuant to the laws of the jurisdictions participating in “Powerball” including but not limited to members and licensees of MUSL who are participating in “Powerball.”

(10) As used in this rule, “subscription play” is only valid when registered with a party lottery in accordance with the rules and procedures of a party lottery who has authorized sales through subscription and the person or, if permitted by the party lottery’s rules, the persons registering the play shall be the owner of the subscription play. A receipt for a subscription play has no value and is not evidence of a play.
(11) As used in this rule, “applicable procedures” shall mean procedures, rules and/or agreements relating to or associated with “Powerball,” as designated or agreed to by the director for the operation of game number fifty-seven.
(12) Game number fifty-seven is not required to be amended when a party lottery is added or removed from participating, unless the addition or removal of a party lottery shall substantively change the game matrix, play style or the method of prize payments in game fifty-seven. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a prohibition against amendments to game number fifty-seven, as determined by the director to be appropriate or necessary.
(13) Each ticket in game number fifty-seven shall be imprinted with one set of five unique numbers from a set of numbers, one through fifty-nine inclusively (“field one”), and one unique number from a second set of numbers, one through thirty-five, inclusively (“field two”), as determined by choice of the ticket purchaser or the auto pick feature on the gaming system, and recorded on the ticket at the time of the 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. Bet cards are available at no cost to the player and shall have no pecuniary or prize value, nor shall a bet card constitute evidence of purchase or number selection. When a player verbally places a “Powerball” wager, the player must either manually select the numbers from both fields or request usage of the auto pick feature to select numbers from both fields. A player may also place a wager through other means that are approved by the director. A ticket may contain one or more panels as described in paragraph (B)(4) of this rule.
(14) As used in this rule, game number fifty-seven winning numbers shall be randomly selected during each official “Powerball” drawing, and shall consist of five numbers selected from a field of numbers one through fifty-nine inclusively, and one number selected from a second field of numbers one through thirty-five inclusively.

In addition, as set forth in this rule or as approved by the director, with each official “Powerball” drawing, a single “Power Play” number shall be randomly selected.
(C) Price of tickets. The price of a “Powerball” wager in game number fifty-seven shall 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 panels and inclusive drawings. The cost of every two dollar wager will be 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 described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule shall be set as set prizes. The grand prize described in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule shall be paid on a pari-mutuel basis. Except as otherwise determined in accordance with applicable procedures, no advertised grand prize jackpot is a guaranteed amount. In the event that an advertised grand prize jackpot is determined in accordance with applicable procedures to be a guaranteed amount, funding and payment of such guaranteed grand prize jackpot amounts shall be in accordance with applicable procedures. Except as otherwise provided or authorized herein, based upon the numbers drawn in each regular drawing for game fifty-seven, prizes shall 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 shall be entitled to a regular prize award of four 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 shall win the grand prize jackpot award which shall be divided equally among the winning selections if there is more than one winning selection. The grand prize jackpot shall be determined on a pari-mutuel basis and shall 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 jackpot described in paragraph (D)(9) of this rule for a drawing, except as otherwise approved in accordance with applicable procedures, the designated grand prize jackpot amount from that drawing shall be carried forward into the grand prize jackpot 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 shall 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 shall be determined in accordance with applicable procedures. If the liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the director shall make the liability cap publicly available by means that the directors deems appropriate.
(12) In a single game number fifty-seven 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 shall be entitled to only the highest prize level won.
(13) Annuitized payments of the grand prize jackpot or a share of the grand prize jackpot may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized grand prize win shall be added to the first cash payment to the winner or winners. Prizes other than the grand prize jackpot 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 shall 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, shall 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 fifty-seven, and a ticket purchaser shall have the option to play the “Power Play” option as an addition to the “Powerball” ticket purchased, except that “Power Play” shall not apply to “Powerball” jackpot prizes. 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. 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 shall be as follows in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(8) and shall 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 shall be paid in accordance with applicable procedures for that promotion. In certain instances, the “Powerball” set prizes may be less than the amounts set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(8) of this rule. In such an event, the “Power Play” prizes set forth in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(7) of this rule may be adjusted by the director in accordance with applicable procedures and the “Power Play” prize set forth in paragraph (E)(8) may be in an amount determined after the draw, rather than the prizes set forth in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(8) of this rule.
(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, and in the event that the player has purchased the “Power Play” option, the player shall be entitled to a total prize award of twelve dollars.

(9) If the total prize liability for the prize levels set forth in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(8) of this rule exceeds a 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 (E)(1) to (E)(8) of this rule. In the event the prize liability is exceeded, then the prizes set forth in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(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 shall 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 shall be determined in accordance with applicable procedures. If the liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the director shall make the liability cap publicly available by means that the directors deems appropriate.

(11) Prizes other than the grand prize jackpot, 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.

This shall 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 shall 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 jackpot prize pool.

(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 shall be the replacement of such defective or erroneous ticket(s) with an official game number fifty-seven ticket of equivalent sales price or a refund of the purchase price; and

The Ohio lottery commission shall be free of any liability in connection with this paragraph.
(2) Each ticket issued in game number one hundred fifty shall have imprinted thereon at the time of purchase a control number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the commission. No prize shall be paid by the commission for any tickets without such control number or bar code data.
(3) All winning tickets in game number one hundred fifty are subject to validation by the on-line computer 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 number one hundred fifty 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 on-line computer system’s determination of winning wagers sold, and not by the number of winning tickets presented for payment.
(I) Choice of annual payments or the cash option.
(1) Because the advertised “Super Lotto Plus” jackpot is payable over thirty years, jackpot prizes from game number one hundred fifty are payable in thirty equal annual installments, less the appropriately withheld state and federal income taxes as required by law. As dictated by the interest rate set by the treasurer of state, the lottery transfers to the deferred prize trust fund an amount of cash determined by the director which equals the present value of the gross prize award won in a drawing to supply investment principal for funding long-term prize obligations, less the amount determined to be payable to the winner as a first annual installment. This present value transfer is less than the advertised jackpot.
(2) At the time of purchase, players may choose the cash option and, should they become winners of the jackpot, receive their jackpot prize award in an amount equal to a discounted cash value of the prize, less the appropriately withheld state and federal income taxes, instead of in thirty annual installments. The discounted cash value of a jackpot amount shall 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) Jackpot prize winners who did not choose the cash option at the time of purchase shall have an additional sixty calendar days from the date of the presentation for payment of their valid claim to the lottery to choose the cash option. 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 shall be paid in thirty annual installments as provided for herein.
(4) A single winning “Super Lotto Plus” jackpot ticket may be paid pursuant to these rules in either annual installments or in a discounted cash value lump sum. Prize winners who claim a joint prize from a single winning ticket will all receive prize payments in either 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 number one hundred fifty.
(1) The director shall conduct game number one hundred fifty in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act, the rules of the commission, including without limitation this rule, and the regulations of the director. As deemed necessary or advisable, the director shall adopt management regulations, orders or directives to implement and operate this lottery game.
(2) Names and definitions of elements of game number one hundred fifty used in this rule are considered generic terms used solely for the purpose of this rule. In actual operation, game number one hundred fifty and these elements may be given names or titles chosen by the commission.
(3) Should the director determine that drawings conducted pursuant to game number one hundred fifty are to be discontinued, the director has the discretion to transfer any existing funds from the game number one hundred fifty jackpot that was not won before such drawings were discontinued, to any lottery game containing the similar characteristic of requiring the player to correctly select the six drawn integers to win the jackpot prize.
(4) The director shall 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.

(B) General design.
(1) Game number two hundred sixteen is an instant lottery game within which are contained six separate games. To win a prize award(s), the player is required to scratch off the covering and do one or more of the following: match numbers or reveal a “Wheel” symbol in “Game 1:” add up numbers to equal “7” or “11” in “Game 2;” “Beat the Dealer” with “Your Card” or reveal a “Crown” symbol in “Game 3;” match two like symbols in “Game 4;” match two like symbols in “Game 5;” and “Beat the Dealer” at “Blackjack” in “Game 6.” A player may win up to twenty times on one ticket.
(a) “Game 1,” “Roulette”?The player reveals one “Wheel Number,” five “Your Numbers” and five corresponding prize values. The player must match any one or more of “Your Numbers” to the “Wheel Number” to win the corresponding prize value revealed beneath the matched “Your Numbers.” If a “Wheel” symbol is revealed in any of the “Your Numbers” play spots, the player wins five times the corresponding prize value revealed automatically. The player may win up to five times in this play area.
(b) “Game 2,” “7 or 11”?There are four “Rolls” in this “Dice” game: “Roll 1.” “Roll 2,” “Roll 3” and “Roll 4.” For each “Roll” across, the player reveals two numbers and one corresponding prize value. If the total of the two numbers revealed in any one “Roll” across equals the number “7,” the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Roll.” If the total of the two numbers revealed in any one “Roll” across equals the number “11,” the player wins double the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Roll.” The player may win up to four times in this play area.
(c) “Game 3,” “High Card”?There are four “Hands” in this “High Card” game: “Hand 1,” “Hand 2,” “Hand 3” and “Hand 4.” For each “Hand” across, the player reveals one “Your Card” value, one “Their Card” value and one corresponding prize value. If “Your Card” value is higher than “Their Card” value in any one “Hand” across, the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Hand.” If a “Crown” symbol is revealed in any of the “Your Card” play spots, the player wins five times the corresponding prize value revealed in that “Hand” automatically. (“Aces” are high in this game.) The player may win up to four times in this play area.
(d) “Game 4,” “Bonus” ? The player reveals two play symbols. The player must match two like symbols to win fifty dollars. Play symbols shall include: “Double Dollar Signs,” “Dollar Bills,” “Coins” and “Money Bags.”

(f) “Game 6,” “Blackjack” ? The player reveals five “Player’s Hands” consisting of two card values each, one “Dealer’s Total” card value and five corresponding prize values. If the sum of any “Player’s Hand” is higher than the “Dealer’s Total,” the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Player’s Hand.” If the total of the two cards in any “Player’s Hand” is “21” or “Blackjack,” the player wins five times the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Player’s Hand.” To reach the total of “21,” the player must reveal either the “10,” “Jack,” “Queen” or “King” cards which have a value of ten and the “Ace” card which has a value of eleven. (“Aces” are high in this game). The player may win up to five times in this play area.

Up to ten such panels or play areas may appear on any one ticket in game number two hundred fifty. The director may change the number of panels or play areas appearing on any one ticket in game number two hundred fifty. Each panel shall constitute a separate wager.
(10) Each ticket in game number two hundred fifty shall be imprinted with one set of five unique numbers from a set of numbers, one through fifty-six inclusively (“field one”), and one unique number from a second set of numbers, one through forty-six, 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.

Holders of valid winning tickets for a given drawing bearing the numbers drawn in that drawing, in whole or in part, shall 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.

(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 shall 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 shall be entitled to a regular prize award of two hundred fifty thousand 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 shall win the grand prize jackpot award which shall 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 shall be equal to the amount designated by the directors, following the drawing, as the cash grand prize jackpot amount rather than an annuity grand prize jackpot amount. The directors or their designees may advertise estimated cash grand prize or annuity grand prize jackpot amounts for each drawing. Except as otherwise determined by the directors or their designees, advertised cash or annuity grand prize jackpot amounts are not guaranteed amounts. Except as otherwise determined by the directors or their designees, the cash grand prize jackpot amount designated by the directors or their designees following a drawing shall 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 prize jackpot 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 shall 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 prize jackpot amount in any grand prize 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 on-line computer system, shall be an amount designated by the directors or their designees, and shall be divided equally among the holders of the winning tickets if there is more than one winning ticket.
If the grand prize jackpot 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 prize jackpot winner shall be paid in a single cash payment in an amount equal to the cash option grand prize divided equally by the number of grand prize jackpot prize winners.
The directors may set the grand prize jackpot 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, shall 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 shall carry the prize pool amount forward into the grand prize jackpot 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 prize jackpot prize amount shall roll pari-mutuelly based on sales as set by the directors, however, the directors may establish a grand prize 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 director, rather than fixed prize basis, provided, however, that in no event shall 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 director, the amounts used for allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes, or other prizes awarded, for each prize level shall be determined by the director. If the liability cap is exceeded for a particular drawing, the Ohio director shall 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 two hundred fifty pari-mutuel prize, the calculation shall be rounded down so that prizes shall be paid in multiples of one dollar.
(15) In a single game number two hundred fifty 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 shall 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. Such change shall be announced by public notice.
(E) In addition to the game described in paragraphs (B) to (D) of this rule, a player shall 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 one 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 twenty-one numbers: two, two, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four, and four. As determined by the director, multiplier numbers other than two, three or four including but not limited to numbers higher than four 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)(7) of this rule. The multiplier number selected is not applied to or does not impact the prize award set forth in paragraph (D)(8) 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.

(G) Frequency of prize drawings.
(1) Random imprinting of prize awards on all tickets issued in game number two hundred fifty-nine shall be accomplished in a manner which complies with the commission’s rules.
(2) When a ticket issued in game number two hundred fifty-nine is sold or deemed sold in accordance with this rule and the covering material over any of the numbers and play symbols has been removed, the holder shall be deemed to have drawn the numbers and play symbols on that ticket which determine whether the holder is entitled to a regular prize award.

(1) Game number two hundred sixty-two is an instant lottery game within which are contained four separate games referred to as “Card 1,” “Card 2,” “Card 3” and “Card 4” with a “Cash Bonus” play spot on the ticket. To win a prize award(s), the player is required to scratch off the covering over the “Caller’s Card” to reveal twenty-five bingo numbers, plus “Five Bonus Numbers” for a total of thirty bingo numbers. The player then scratches off the clear coat overlay on Cards 1 through 4 for all numbers corresponding to those revealed on the “Caller’s Card.” Each “Card” shall contain twenty-three numbers with a “Free” space in the middle and a “DBL” play symbol which shall also be designated as a “free” space with a doubler feature. Prizes may be won if the matched numbers revealed on any one “Card” form the following: a complete horizontal or vertical line of five matched spaces, four matched spaces and the “free” space in the middle or three matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle with a “DBL” play symbol; a diagonal line of four matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle or three matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle with a “DBL” play symbol; matching numbers in all four corners or matching numbers in three corners with a “DBL” play symbol in the fourth corner; and two complete diagonal lines forming an “X” including eight matched numbers and the “Free” space in the middle or seven matched numbers and the “Free” space in the middle with a “DBL” play symbol, the winning pattern is completed in a Card utilizing the “DBL” play symbol, the corresponding prize amount is doubled. In “Card 4,” if the matched numbers consist of two horizontal lines and two vertical lines for a total of eight matched numbers surrounding the “Free” space to form a “small frame” (or square) pattern, the player wins seven hundred fifty dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, such ticket shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a thirty thousand dollar grand prize. The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. The prizes available are printed beside each “Card.” The player then scratches the “Cash Bonus” play area to reveal a prize value or the message “Try Again” or “Next Time.” If the player reveals a prize value in the “Cash Bonus” play area, the player wins that prize value automatically. A player may win up to five times on one ticket but may win only once per “Card.”

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number three hundred twenty-six, “Win for Life,” shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose 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 agents are to make their final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in game rule number three hundred twenty-six.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number three hundred twenty-six is an instant lottery game within which are contained three separate games.
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire main play area to reveal five “Lucky Numbers,” ten “Your Numbers” and ten corresponding prize values. If the player matches any one or more of “Your Number(s)” to one or more of the “Lucky Numbers(s),” the player wins the corresponding prize value shown below the matching “Your Numbers.” If the player matches any one of “Your Number(s)” to any one of the “Lucky Numbers,” and the “Life” play symbol appears below the matching “Your Number,” the player wins the “Life Prize” which is one thousand dollars a week for life (paid out at fifty-two thousand dollars a year before taxes until a minimum of one million dollars is reached, or for the life span of the original prize winner, whichever is greater). If a player matches any one of “Your Numbers” to one of the “Lucky Numbers,” and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins one thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win the “Life Prize.” The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. The duration of the “Life Prize” shall be determined by the original prize winner’s life span. If there is more than one prize winner of the “Life Prize,” the duration of the prize winnings shall be determined by one designated prize winner’s life span. Subject to provisions of rule 3770:1-8-01
(B)(6)(c), should the life span of the originally designated winner be less than twenty years, then the prize winner’s beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled to continue receiving annual payments of fifty-two thousand dollars a year before taxes until one million dollars is reached. Should the “Life Prize” be claimed by any “person” as defined in rule 3770:1-1-01
(K)(2) of the Administrative Code other than an individual or a group of individuals (specifically; a corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association), the maximum amount such person shall be entitled to shall be the minimum “Life Prize” amount of one thousand dollars a week for life paid out at fifty-two thousand dollars a year before taxes until one million dollars is reached.
Also, the player will remove the covering over two additional play areas entitled “Quick $50” and “Quick $100.” If the player reveals a “Star” play symbol in the “Quick $50” play area, the player wins fifty dollars automatically. If the player reveals a “Moneybag” play symbol in the “Quick $100” play area, the player win one hundred dollars automatically. There are twelve chances to win one each ticket, and a player may win up to twelve times on one ticket.

(1) Game rule number three hundred thirty is an instant lottery game within which are contained six separate games referred to as “Card 1,” “Card 2,” “Card 3,” “Card 4,” “Card 5” and “Card 6” with a “Cash Bonus” play spot on the ticket. To win a prize award(s), the player is required to scratch off the covering over the “Caller’s Card” to reveal twenty-five bingo numbers, plus “Five Bonus Numbers” for a total of thirty bingo numbers. The player then scratches off the overlay for all corresponding numbers contained on Card 1 through Card 6 on each ticket. Each “Card” shall contain twenty-three numbers with a “Free” space in the middle and a space containing a “Lucky Charm” play symbol which shall also be designated as a “Free” space with a prize doubling feature. Prizes may be won if the matched numbers revealed on any one “Card” form the following: a complete horizontal or vertical line of five matched spaces, four matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle, four matched spaces and the “Lucky Charm” free space or three matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle as well as a “Lucky Charm” free space; a diagonal line of four matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle or three matched spaces and the “Free” space in the middle as well as a “Lucky Charm” free space; matching numbers in all four corners or matching numbers in three corners with a “Lucky Charm” free space in the fourth corner; and two complete diagonal lines forming an “X” including eight matched numbers and the “Free” space in the middle or seven matched numbers and the “Free” space as well as a “Lucky Charm” free space.

If the player reveals a “TPD” prize symbol in the “Cash Bonus” play area, the player wins seven hundred fifty dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a thirty thousand dollar grand prize.

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number three hundred thirty-eight, “Holiday Lucky Times 10,” shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose 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 agents are to make their final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in game rule number three hundred thirty-eight.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number three hundred thirty-eight is a key number match game with one additional instant win feature and a bonus feature, and is generally known as an “instant lottery.”
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire play area to reveal three “Lucky Numbers,” ten “Your Holiday Numbers” and ten corresponding prize values. If any one or more of “Your Holiday Numbers” matches one or more of the “Lucky Numbers,” the player wins the corresponding prize values shown below the matching “Your Holiday Numbers.” If the player reveals a “Bell” symbol, the player wins the corresponding prize value automatically. The player will then scratch the “Bonus” number play area under which a number will be revealed. The player will multiply the total prize amount won in the main play area by the “Bonus” number revealed to determine the total prize award. “Bonus” numbers may include the numbers one, two, three, four, five, seven and ten. If the player matches any one of “Your Holiday Numbers” to one of the “Lucky Numbers” and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins one thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a two hundred fifty thousand dollar grand prize. The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. There are ten chances to win on each ticket, and a player may win up to ten times on one ticket.
(3) 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 or the total of all winning prize values multiplied by any applicable “Bonus” factor: five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, thirty-five dollars, fifty dollars, seventy-five dollars, one hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, five thousand dollars and two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Each ticket in game rule number three hundred thirty-eight shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.
(C) Price of tickets. The price of a ticket issued by the commission in game rule number three hundred thirty-eight shall be five dollars.

Card values may include: “6” through “10;” the “Jack,” “Queen” or “King” symbol which has a value of ten; and the “Ace” symbol which has a value of eleven. (“Aces” are high in this game). There are four chances to win on each ticket, and a player may win up to four times on one ticket.

Rule promulgated under: RC 111.15
Rule authorized by: RC 3770.03
Rule amplifies: RC 3770.01, 3770.02, 3770.03, 3770.04, 3770.05, 3770.06, 3770.07, 3770.08
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number three hundred sixty-one, “Win for Life,” shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose 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 three hundred sixty-one.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number three hundred sixty-one is an instant lottery game within which are contained three separate games.
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire main play area to reveal five “Lucky Numbers,” ten “Your Numbers” and ten corresponding prize values. If the player matches any one or more of “Your Number(s)” to one or more of the “Lucky Numbers(s),” the player wins the corresponding prize value shown below the matching “Your Numbers.” If the player matches any one of “Your Number(s)” to any one of the “Lucky Numbers,” and the “Life” play symbol appears below the matching “Your Number,” the player wins the “Life Prize” award (which is one thousand dollars a week for life paid out at fifty-two thousand dollars a year before taxes until a minimum of one million five hundred thousand dollars is reached, or for the life span of the original prize winner, whichever is greater) or the elected cash-option prize award of approximately eight hundred thousand dollars before taxes in lieu of the “Life Prize” award. If a player matches any one of “Your Numbers” to one of the “Lucky Numbers,” and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins one thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win the “Life Prize” award or the elected cash-option prize award of approximately eight hundred thousand dollars before taxes in lieu of the “Life Prize” award. The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. The duration of the “Life Prize” award shall be determined by the original prize winner’s life span. If there is more than one prize winner of the “Life Prize” award, then all claimants shall only be entitled to the shared cash-option prize award. Subject to provisions of rule 3770:1-8-01(B)(6)(c), should the life span of the originally designated winner be less than thirty years, then the prize winner’s beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled to continue receiving annual payments of fifty-two thousand dollars a year before taxes until one million five hundred thousand dollars is reached. Should the “Life Prize” award be claimed by any “person” other than an individual (specifically; a corporation, limited liability company, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association, etc.), such claimant(s) shall only be entitled to the cash-option prize award. Any claimant under eighteen years of age shall only be entitled to the cash-option prize award.
Also, the player will remove the covering over two additional play areas entitled “Quick $50” and “Quick $100.” If the player reveals a “Star” play symbol in the “Quick $50” play area, the player wins fifty dollars automatically. If the player reveals a “Moneybag” play symbol in the “Quick $100” play area, the player win one hundred dollars automatically. There are twelve chances to win one each ticket, and a player may win up to twelve times on one ticket.
(3) 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: five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, thirty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars and one million five hundred thousand dollars (or the cash-option prize award of approximately eight hundred thousand dollars in lieu of the “Life Prize” award). Each ticket in game rule number three hundred sixty-one shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.

(p) Nine tickets winning one hundred dollars ten times in “Game 5” to win one thousand dollars; and

Each “Card” shall contain twenty-four numbers with a “Free” space in the middle.

Rule amplifies: RC 3770.01, 3770.02, 3770.03, 3770.04, 3770.05, 3770.06, 3770.07, 3770.08
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number three hundred ninety-four, “Vegas Nights,” shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose 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 three hundred ninety-four.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number three hundred ninety-four is an instant lottery game within which are contained three separate games. To win a prize award(s), the player is required to scratch off the covering and do one or more of the following:
(a) “Slots of Cash” – This is a “Slots” style game with an additional instant win feature. There are four “Rows” in this “Slots of Cash” game: “Row 1” through “Row 4.” For each “Row” across, the player reveals three play symbols and one corresponding prize value. If all three play symbols in each “Row” across match, the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Row.” If the player reveals a “Win” symbol in any one “Row” across, the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Row” automatically. Play symbols may include: “Grapes,” “Bells,” “Cherries,” “Dollar Signs,” “Apples,” and “Horseshoes.” The player may win up to four times in this play area.
(b) “Roll for Riches” – This is an “Add Up” style game. There are four “Rolls” in this “Dice” game: “Roll 1” through “Roll 4.” For each “Roll” across, the player reveals two numbers and one corresponding prize value. If the total of the two numbers revealed in any one “Roll” across equals the number “7” or “11,” the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Roll.” The player may win up to four times in this play area.
(c) “Casino Blackjack” – This is a “Blackjack” style game with a “doubler” feature. There are one “Dealer’s Total” and four “Hands” in this “Casino Blackjack” game: “Hand 1” through “Hand 4.” For each “Hand,” the player reveals one “Hand” value and one corresponding prize value. If the player’s “Hand” value is higher than the “Dealer’s Total” value in any one “Hand,” the player wins the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Hand.” If the player’s “Hand” value equals the number “21,” the player wins double the corresponding prize value revealed for that “Hand.” If the player’s “Hand” value is higher than the “Dealer’s Total” value in any one “Hand” and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins two thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a five hundred thousand dollar grand prize. The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. (“Aces” are high in this game.) The player may win up to four times in this play area.
(d) “Bonus” – The player shall then scratch off the covering over the “Bonus” play area to reveal a multiplying number which may include the number “1,” “2,” “3,” “4,” “5,” “6” or “10.” The player will multiply the total prize amount(s) won in the main play area by the “Bonus” number revealed to determine the total prize award. A player may win up to twelve times on one ticket.

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number four hundred three, “Holiday Lucky Times 10,” shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose 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 four hundred three.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number four hundred three is a key number match game with an additional instant win feature and a bonus feature, and is generally known as an “instant lottery.”
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire play area to reveal three “Lucky Numbers,” ten “Your Holiday Numbers” and ten corresponding prize values. If any one or more of “Your Holiday Numbers” matches one or more of the “Lucky Numbers,” the player wins the corresponding prize values shown below the matching “Your Holiday Numbers.” If the player reveals a “Tree” symbol, the player wins the corresponding prize value automatically. The player will then scratch the “Bonus” number play area under which a number will be revealed. The player will multiply the total prize amount won in the main play area by the “Bonus” number revealed to determine the total prize award. “Bonus” numbers may include the numbers one, two, three, four, five, seven and ten. If the player matches any one of “Your Holiday Numbers” to one of the “Lucky Numbers” or a “Tree” symbol is revealed in one of the “Your Holiday Numbers” play spots and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins one thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a two hundred fifty thousand dollar grand prize.

If the player reveals a “Gold Bar” symbol in any of the “Your Numbers” play spots, the player wins one hundred dollars automatically. If the player matches any one of “Your Numbers” to one of the “Winning Numbers” and the corresponding prize value revealed is a “TPD” symbol, the player wins two thousand dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing (“TPD”) to win a five hundred thousand dollar grand prize.
