Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game number one hundred fourteen, “Top FliteŽ Golf & Cash,” 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 ticket allocated to them during the period in game number one hundred fourteen.
(B) General design.
(1) Game number one hundred fourteen is a key number match game with a bonus feature and is generally known as an “instant lottery.”
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering of the entire play area to reveal two “par numbers,” ten “your numbers” and ten prize amounts. If the player matches any one or more of “your number(s)” to either of the “par number(s),” the player wins the prize value shown below the matching “your number(s).” If the player reveals a “hole in one” symbol below any of “your number(s),” the player wins all ten prizes automatically. There are ten chances to win on each ticket. The player will then remove the covering over the “bonus” area for a chance to win a golf merchandise prize. If the player reveals a “golf balls” symbol, the player wins one dozen Top FliteŽ XL 2000(TM) extra long™ golf balls. If the player reveals a “driver” symbol, the player wins one Top FliteŽ Intimidator™ driver with head cover. If the player reveals a golf “certificate” symbol, the player wins one gift certificate for two rounds of golf at one of the selected ohio golf courses. If the player reveals a “golf bag” symbol, the player wins one golf bag set consisting of one set of Top FliteŽ advance flex steel shaft oversize irons, one Top FliteŽ pro tour staff golf bag and one Top FliteŽ tour™ umbrella.
(3) As used in this rule, “prize award” shall mean one of the following monetary amounts or golf merchandise prizes which is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket: Two dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty-five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, and golf merchandise consisting of: One dozen Top FliteŽ XL 2000(TM) extra long™ golf balls; one Top FliteŽ Intimidator™ driver with head cover; one golf gift certificate; and one Top FliteŽ golf bag set consisting of one set of Top FliteŽ advance flex steel shaft oversize irons, one Top FliteŽ pro tour staff golf bag and one Top FliteŽ tour™ umbrella.
