Title 9 Part 5006

There is hereby created a type of game known as an instant lottery game. This Part pertains to all instant games.

Tickets of any instant lottery game shall be played by removing the rub-off coating from play spots. The specific method of play will be published for each game in a game brochure readily available to the public.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face of the ticket, an instant lottery ticket shall sell for $1.

All prizes must be claimed within one year of the announced end of the game.

To be a valid instant lottery winning ticket, the following requirements must be met:

In the event a dispute between the division and the ticket bearer occurs as to whether the ticket is a winning ticket, and if no prize is paid, the commission may, solely at the option of the commission, replace the disputed ticket with an unplayed ticket (or a ticket of equivalent sales price from any other current instant lottery game). This remedy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the bearer of the ticket.

The commission shall allow a compensation rate of six percent for each ticket sold to a lottery sales agent. The commission shall allow such compensation by permitting a lottery sales agent to deduct such compensation rate from the face value otherwise payable by the lottery sales agent to the commission.

The commission shall announce a termination date for each instant game.

The ticket customer agrees to comply and abide by the provisions of the act and all rules and regulations of the commission and all procedures established by the commission for the conduct of the game.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any other rule or regulation, the number and amount of prizes to be paid for an instant lottery game shall be as determined by the commission for each game. Prize structures developed and approved by the commission shall be computed to provide for payment of the maximum amounts permissible by law.
