Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
It is a deceptive act or practice for a seller to compare the
				  seller's price with a price currently being offered by another seller for
				  merchandise unless the merchandise is comparable merchandise and the
				  comparative price is at or below the price at which the comparable merchandise
				  is currently being offered in the seller's trade area by a reasonable number of
				  other sellers in the same trade area, or another identifiable seller.

North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 10 - Attorney General › Article 10-15 - Deceptive Acts or Practices › Chapter 10-15-01 - Deceptive Pricing › Section 10-15-01-08 - Bargain offers based on the purchase of other merchandise and use of the word free

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
It is a deceptive act or practice to use the word free, or
				  words of similar meaning, or to represent bargain offers, including "buy one -
				  get one free", "buy one - get one at half-price", "two for one", and "one cent
				  sale", when describing merchandise to be given to a customer who purchases
				  other merchandise, if the seller recovers, in whole or in part, the cost of the
				  free or bargain merchandise by marking up the price of the item which must be
				  purchased, by substituting an inferior item or service, or otherwise. It is a
				  deceptive act or practice to represent that other merchandise is being offered
				  free or at a bargain price with the sale if the advertised merchandise can be
				  purchased from the advertiser at a lesser price without the free or bargain
				  merchandise, particularly if the merchandise is usually sold at a price arrived
				  at through bargaining.

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
It is a deceptive act or practice for a seller to use terms
				  such as "sale", "sales prices", "now only $ _____ ", or other words and phrases
				  that imply a price savings unless the price of the merchandise is reduced by a
				  reasonable amount from the former price of the merchandise. If the seller
				  reduces the price by five percent or more from the former price, a rebuttable
				  presumption exists that the price reduction was of a reasonable amount.
				  However, the term "sale" may be used in an advertisement where not all items
				  are offered at a reduction from regular price if the items are clearly and
				  conspicuously identified.

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
If a winning player dies during the annuity payment period of
				  a prize, the game group, upon the petition of the estate of the deceased player
				  to the lottery may accelerate the payment of the remaining prize to the estate.
				  The lottery may rely on a certified copy of a court's appointment of a personal
				  representative or other evidence that a certain person is entitled to the
				  payment of the remaining prize. If the game group approves the petition, then
				  securities, cash, or both securities and cash held for the deceased player that
				  represents the present value of that portion of a future lottery payment to be
				  accelerated may be distributed to the estate. The identification of the
				  security to fund the annuitized prize and responsibility for valuing the
				  security and determining the present value of an accelerated lottery payment
				  are at the discretion of the game group. Payment to the estate of the prize of
				  the deceased owner releases the MUSL, game group, lottery, and state of any
				  additional liability for the prize.

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. The prize pool for all prize categories
				must consist of fifty percent of each draw period's sales after the prize pool
				accounts and prize reserve accounts are funded.
2. The prize money allocated to the grand
				prize pool must be divided equally by the number of plays that win the grand
				prize. If the grand prize is not won in a draw, subject to any restrictions by
				the game group, the prize money allocated for the grand prize must roll over
				and be added to the grand prize pool for the next draw.
3. If there are multiple grand prize winning
				plays during a draw, each player selecting the annuitized option prize, then a
				winning play's share of the guaranteed annuitized grand prize must be
				determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized grand prize by the number of
				winning plays.
4. A grand prize
				must be paid, at the election of the winning player made within sixty days
				after the player becomes entitled to the prize, with either a per winning
				player annuity or cash payment. If the payment election is not made by the
				player within sixty days after the player becomes entitled to the prize, then
				the prize must be paid as an annuity prize. An election for an annuity payment
				made by a player may be changed to a cash payment at the election of the player
				until the expiration of sixty days after the player becomes entitled to the
				prize. Otherwise, the payment election is final. Shares of the grand prize must
				be determined by dividing the cash available in the grand prize pool equally
				among all winning plays of the grand prize. A player who elects a cash payment
				must be paid the share in a single cash payment. A player who elects an
				annuitized prize must be paid annually in thirty graduated payments with the
				initial payment being made in cash, followed by twenty-nine payments
				(increasing each year) by a rate determined by the game group funded by the
				annuity. Annual payments after the initial payment must be made by the lottery
				on the anniversary date or if this date falls on a nonbusiness day, then the
				first business day following the anniversary date of the draw of the grand
				prize winning numbers.
5. The
				lottery may not pay a grand or set cash prize until after it receives
				authorization from the MUSL. The lottery may pay the prize before it receives
				the funds from the MUSL.
6. The
				prize pool percentage allocated to set prizes must be carried forward to a
				subsequent draw if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the set prizes
				awarded in the current draw.
