(4) Validation of Lost, Damaged, or Destroyed Tickets for Draw Game Prizes: If a player of a Draw game cannot submit an intact winning ticket because a retailer lost, damaged, or destroyed the ticket while attempting to perform validation procedures on the game ticket, or because the ticket was otherwise damaged so that it cannot be validated through Lottery's central computer system or because it is otherwise unreadable, a prize claim based on such lost, damaged or destroyed ticket may still be validated as provided in OAR 177-046-0110 and provided the claim is received before the end of the one-year period described in OAR 177-70-0025. (5) Invalid Tickets: Any ticket not passing all applicable validation checks is invalid and void for claims made under this rule.

177-075-0010 Ticket Purchase, Characteristics, and Restrictions (1) General: Oregon Megabucks is a pari-mutuel 6 of 48 lotto game. A player must select an even number set of six different numbers, between 1 and 48, for input into a terminal. Megabucks tickets can be purchased either from a terminal operated by a retailer (i.e., a clerk-activated terminal) or from a terminal operated by the player (i.e., a player-activated terminal). If purchased from a retailer, the player may select each set by marking six numbered squares in any one game board on a play slip and submitting the play slip to the retailer, or by requesting “Quick pick” from the retailer. The retailer will then issue a Megabucks ticket, via the terminal, containing the selected even number set or sets of numbers, each of which constitutes a game play. Tickets can also be purchased from a player-activated terminal by use of a touch screen or by inserting a play slip into the machine. A ticket can contain up to ten game plays lettered A through J. A player may purchase a ticket or tickets for future consecutive Megabucks drawings up to the maximum permitted by the Lottery. (2) Kicker Option: The player must also choose whether to play “Kicker” when purchasing a Megabucks ticket. The Kicker awards larger prizes for correctly selecting three of six, four of six, and five of six numbers. (3) Non-Cancellation: A Megabucks ticket may not be voided or cancelled by returning the ticket to the retailer, including tickets that are printed in error or purchased for a future consecutive drawing. The placing of plays is done at the player’s own risk. The Lottery retailer acts on behalf of the player in entering the player’s plays Statutory/Other Authority: OR Const. Art.
