Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Title and term.
			 Ohio lottery commission game number fourteen shall be conducted at such times
			 and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purposes of this
			 rule, "sales cycle" shall mean any such period beginning on the date when
			 ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date established by the
			 commission as the date on which agents are to make their final settlement in
			 respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in game number fourteen.
(B) General design.
(1) Game number fourteen is a lottery game of
			 the type generally known as an instant lottery.
(2) As used in this rule, "prize amount"
			 shall mean one of the following monetary amounts: two dollars, five dollars,
			 ten dollars, one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, and ten thousand
			 dollars. Each ticket in game number fourteen shall be imprinted with six prize
			 amounts. The prize amounts shall only be in the following form: "$$ 2.00 $"; "$
			 5.00 $$"; "$$ 10.00 "; "$ 100.00 "; "$1,000$"; or "$10,000." These prize
			 amounts shall be concealed by an opaque covering which can be scraped off by
			 the holder of the ticket to reveal the underlying prize amounts. Holders of
			 valid tickets on which at least three of the prize amounts are the same shall
			 win a prize award called a "regular prize" equal to such prize amount. Such
			 tickets shall be called "winning tickets."
(3) Subject to the limitations contained in
			 paragraph (F)(3) of this rule, during each week of any given sales cycle in
			 game number fourteen, beginning no later than the third week of such cycle, and
			 after the end of such cycle, there shall be held weekly drawings called "weekly
			 bonus drawings" in which prizes to be called "weekly bonus prizes" shall be
			 awarded. One weekly bonus drawing shall be held for each week in a sales cycle,
			 provided that no such drawing shall be held in any week in which the holding of
			 such a drawing would cause the total number of such drawings held in connection
			 with that sales cycle to exceed one for each two million five hundred thousand
			 tickets sold in that sales cycle. Any holder of four valid tickets which are
			 not winning tickets may become eligible to be selected to participate in a
			 weekly bonus drawing. Any person may enter the process for the selection of
			 participants in a given weekly bonus drawing an unlimited number of times, or
			 may enter the process for the selection of participants in multiple weekly
			 bonus drawings an unlimited number of times, provided that each such entry is
			 based upon a distinct set of at least four nonwinning tickets. Each weekly
			 bonus drawing shall have a prize structure, and shall be conducted, pursuant to
			 the provisions of this rule. All persons seeking to become eligible, enter and
			 participate in any of such drawings shall comply with the provisions of this
			 rule, with the rules of the commission and the regulations of the director, and
			 with the procedures and requirements to be established by the director pursuant
			 to this rule relating to claim, entry, receipt and validation of tickets with
			 respect to such drawings and to the conduct thereof.
(4) After any given sales cycle in game
			 number fourteen, prizes called "grand drawing prizes" shall be awarded in a
			 single drawing called a "grand drawing." All holders of valid winning tickets
			 winning prizes of two dollars, five dollars, or ten dollars may become eligible
			 to be selected to participate in the grand drawing by complying with the
			 special claim, entry, receipt and validation requirements of this rule, and
			 with all other applicable requirements of the rules of the commission, the
			 regulations of the director, and the procedures established by the director
			 pursuant hereto and thereto.
