Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission
			 game rule number six hundred two, "Cash for Life ," 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 sales agents are to
			 make their final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during
			 the period in game rule number six hundred two.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number six hundred two is a key
			 number match game and is generally known as an "instant lottery."
(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the
			 covering off the entire play area to reveal three "Winning Numbers," fifteen
			 "Your Numbers" and fifteen corresponding prize values. If any one or more of
			 "Your Number(s)" matches one or more of the "Winning Numbers," the player wins
			 the corresponding prize value(s) shown below the matching "Your Number(s)." If
			 the player matches any one of "Your Numbers" to a "Winning Number" and the
			 corresponding prize revealed below the matching "Your Number" is a "Life"
			 symbol, the player wins the "Life Prize Award" (which is twenty-five thousand
			 dollars per year for life (before taxes) until a minimum of seven hundred fifty
			 thousand dollars (before taxes) is reached, or for the life span of the
			 original prize winner, whichever is greater) or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize
			 Award" of approximately three hundred thousand dollars (before taxes) in lieu
			 of the "Life Prize Award." If the player matches any one of "Your Numbers" to
			 one of the "Winning Numbers" and the corresponding prize revealed below the
			 matching "Your Number" is a "TPD" symbol, the player wins one thousand dollars
			 automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery
			 commission office, shall also be automatically entered in the Top Prize Drawing
			 ("TPD") to win the "Life Prize Award" as described in Section (B)(2) herein or
			 approximately three hundred thousand dollars (before taxes) in lieu of the
			 "Life Prize Award." The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with
			 Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. The
			 duration of the "Life Prize Award" shall be determined by the original prize
			 winner's life span. If there is more than one prize winner of the "Life Prize
			 Award," then all claimants shall only be entitled to share the cash-option
			 prize award. Should the life span of the originally designated winner be less
			 than thirty years, then the prize winner's beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled
			 to continue receiving annual payments of twenty-five thousand dollars a year
			 (before taxes) until seven hundred fifty thousand dollars is reached. Should
			 the "Life Prize Award" be claimed by any "person" other than an individual
			 (specifically; a corporation, limited liability company, business trust,
			 estate, trust, partnership or association, etc.) such claimant(s) shall only be
			 entitled to the cash-option prize award. Any claimant under eighteen years of
			 age shall only be entitled to the cash-option award. There are fifteen chances
			 to win on each ticket, and a player may win up to fifteen times on one ticket
(3) 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: five dollars, ten dollars,
			 fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, forty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred
			 dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, five
			 thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars and a "Life
			 Prize Award" as described in Section (B)(2) of this rule or the "Elected
			 Cash-Option Prize Award" of approximately three hundred thousand dollars
			 (before taxes) in lieu of the "Life Prize Award." Each ticket in game rule
			 number six hundred two shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from
			 the set listed above may be won.
