Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game number one hundred twenty, “First Class 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 tickets allocated to them during the period in game number one hundred twenty.
(B) General design.
(1) Game number one hundred twenty is a key number match game with two additional features and is generally known as an “instant lottery.”
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering over the play area to reveal five “first class numbers,” ten “your numbers,” and ten corresponding prize amounts. If the player matches any one or more of “your number(s)” to any of the “first class number(s),” the player wins the prize shown below the matching “your number(s).” If the “gold bar” symbol is revealed in any of the “your numbers” play spots, the player wins the corresponding prize shown below that symbol automatically. If the player reveals a “diamond” symbol in any of the “your number(s)” play spots, the player wins the sum of all ten prize values revealed automatically. There are ten chances to win on each ticket.
(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: two dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, thirty dollars, seventy-five dollars, one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars and fifty thousand dollars. Each ticket in game number one hundred twenty shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.
