Current through June 17, 2024
1602.01 General
Mega Millions is a multi-jurisdictional on-line lottery game,
				  drawn on the day(s), time(s) and location(s) as determined by the Mega Millions
				  Lotteries, and which pays the Grand Prize, at the election of the player made
				  in accordance with the Game Rules, or by a default election made in accordance
				  with the Game Rules, either on an annual pari-mutuel basis or as a cash value
				  option using a rate determined by the Mega Millions Finance Committee on a
				  pari-mutuel basis. Except as provided in the Game Rules, all other prizes are
				  paid on a set cash basis. Mega Millions shall be played according to the Mega
				  Millions Game Rules of the Product Group. Tickets can be purchased for one
				  dollar (U.S. $ 1.00), including any specific statutorily-mandated tax of a
				  Party Lottery to be included in the price of a lottery ticket from a terminal
				  operated by an agent (i.e., a clerk-activated terminal) The player may make his
				  or her selection by communicating the numbers to the agent, or by marking the
				  numbered squares in any one game board on a play slip and submitting the play
				  slip to the agent, or by requesting "computer pick" from the agent. The agent
				  will then issue a ticket, via the terminal, containing the selected set or sets
				  of numbers, each of which constitutes a game play. If authorized by the
				  Director, tickets may also be purchased through a lottery subscription system
				  as provided in Rule 27.6 of the Game Rules. No player activated device shall be
				  utilized unless authorized by law.
1602.02 Claims
A ticket (subject to the validation requirements set forth in
				  Rule 31 of the Game Rules (Ticket Validation)) shall be the only proof of a
				  game play or plays and the submission of a winning ticket to the issuing Party
				  Lottery or its authorized agent shall be the sole method of claiming a prize or
				  prizes. A play slip has no pecuniary or prize value and shall not constitute
				  evidence of ticket purchase or of numbers selected. A terminal produced paper
				  receipt has no pecuniary or prize value and shall not constitute evidence of
				  ticket purchase or of numbers selected.
1602.03 Cancellations Prohibited
A ticket may not be voided or canceled by returning the
				  ticket to the selling agent or to the Nebraska Lottery, including tickets that
				  are printed in error. No ticket which can be used to claim a prize shall be
				  returned to the Nebraska Lottery for credit. Tickets accepted by retailers as
				  returned tickets and which cannot be re-sold shall be deemed owned by the
				  bearer thereof.
1602.04
				Player Responsibility
It shall be the sole responsibility of the player to verify
				  the accuracy of the game play or plays and other data printed on the ticket.
				  The placing of plays is done at the player's own risk through the on-line agent
				  who is acting on behalf of the player in entering the play or
				  plays.
1602.05 Entry of
				Plays
Plays may only be entered manually using the lottery terminal
				  keypad or touch screen or by means of a play slip provided by the Party Lottery
				  and hand-marked by the player or by such other means approved by the Party
				  Lottery. Retailers shall not permit the use of facsimiles of play slips, copies
				  of play slips, or other materials that are inserted into the terminal's play
				  slip reader that are not printed or approved by the Party Lottery. Retailers
				  shall not permit any device to be connected to a lottery terminal to enter
				  plays, except as approved by the Party Lottery. No player activated device
				  shall be utilized unless authorized by law.
1602.06 Registration of Plays
With the approval of the Director, subscription plays may be
				  registered by the Nebraska Lottery at a lottery processing site which meets the
				  requirements established by the Product Group and the Security and Integrity
				  Committee.
1602.07 Maximum
				Purchase
Except for a subscription play purchase, the maximum number
				  of consecutive drawings on a single ticket purchase is twenty-six (26). The
				  maximum number of consecutive drawings encompassed by a subscription play
				  purchase is one hundred four (104).
1602.08 In the event of a matrix change, the
				Party Lottery which issued the subscription will determine the option(s)
				available to subscription purchasers from that Party Lottery for the balance of
				plays remaining on their subscriptions effective as of the date of the matrix
				change.
1602.09 In accordance with
				the Game Rules, game play information for a subscription may be edited by a
				Party Lottery's subscription coordinator only when an error in the numbers
				entered has been identified, a change in the frequency of drawings occurs, or a
				change in the game matrix occurs. A subscription may be edited to correct an
				error in the numbers entered before the time of the first drawing for which the
				subscription is effective. (Liability for any number entered in error is
				limited to the Party Lottery that entered the number in error.) For a change in
				the game matrix, or for errors in the numbers entered which are identified
				after the first drawing under the subscription, the subscription coordinator
				may correct the subscription game play prospectively for the remaining number
				of draws on the subscription. The only other condition under which subscription
				game play may be edited is to correct the subscription end date if there is a
				change in the frequency of Mega Millions drawings.
