(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission
			 game rule number seven hundred thirty, "Big Money," 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 seven hundred thirty.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number seven hundred thirty is
			 a key number match game with "multiplier" features, and is generally known as
			 an "instant lottery."
(2) Holders
			 of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire play area to reveal
			 seven "Winning Numbers," fifteen "Your Numbers" and fifteen corresponding prize
			 values. If any one or more of "Your Number(s)" matches one or all of the
			 "Winning Number(s)," the player wins the corresponding prize values shown below
			 the matching "Your Number(s)." If the player reveals a "5X" symbol in any of
			 the "Your Numbers" play spots, the player wins five times the corresponding
			 prize value shown automatically. If the player reveals a "10X" symbol in any of
			 the "Your Numbers" play spots, the player wins ten times the corresponding
			 prize value shown automatically. For (D) and (E) herein, revealing a "Star"
			 symbol in the "Your Numbers" play spots shall be equivalent to matching one of
			 the "Winning Numbers" with one of "Your Numbers. There are fifteen chances to
			 win on each ticket, and a player may win up to fifteen times on one ticket. If
			 the player matches any of "Your Numbers" to one of the "Winning Numbers" and
			 the corresponding prize value revealed is a "TPD" symbol, the player wins five
			 thousand five hundred dollars automatically, and upon the filing of a valid
			 claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall automatically be entered into
			 the Top Prize Drawing ("TPD") for a chance to win an "Annuity Prize Award" of
			 fifty thousand dollars per year for twenty years before taxes or the "Elected
			 Cash-Option Prize Award" of approximately five hundred thousand dollars before
			 taxes in lieu of the "Annuity Prize Award. The Top Prize Drawing shall be
			 conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and
			 approved by the director.

			 figures which is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket:
			 ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, thirty dollars, fifty dollars,
			 one hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand
			 five hundred dollars, ten thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars, and an
			 "Annuity Prize Award" of fifty thousand dollars per year for twenty years
			 before taxes or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize Award" of approximately five
