Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission
			 game rule number six hundred one, "Bonus 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 one.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number six hundred one 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 two "Winning Numbers," ten "Your
			 Numbers" and ten corresponding prize values. If any one or more of "Your
			 Number(s)" matches one or more of the "Winning Number(s)," the player wins the
			 corresponding prize value(s) shown next to the matching "Your Number(s)." If
			 the player matches one of the "Winning Numbers" to one of "Your Numbers" and
			 reveals a "Life" symbol in the corresponding prize value, the player wins the
			 "Life Prize Award" (which is ten thousand dollars per year for life (before
			 taxes) until a minimum of three hundred 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 one hundred
			 thousand dollars (before taxes) in lieu of the "Life Prize Award." 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 the share 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 ten thousand dollars a year (before taxes) until
			 three hundred thousand 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 ten chances to win on each ticket, and a player
			 may win up to ten 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: two dollars, five dollars, ten dollars,
			 twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars, five
			 hundred dollars, two 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 one hundred thousand dollars (before taxes) in lieu of the "Life
			 Prize Award." Each ticket in game rule number six hundred one shall be
			 imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.
