(a)
				  Independently of, or concurrently with, the operation of the weekly lottery,
				  the Secretary may, in his discretion, establish special drawings in order to
				  award promotional prizes or their pecuniary value, such as vacation trips,
				  automobiles, or other tangible items in addition to, or in lieu of, cash
				  prizes. Cash prizes shall be determined by the Secretary; the value of the
				  tangible items offered shall be considered only as a guide to the amount of the
				  cash prize and not the determining factor, so as not to detract from the
				  marketing and promotional value of the tangible items awarded to the winners.
				  The nature and number of prizes will be determined as the case may be. Separate
				  numbers may be imprinted on current lottery tickets or regularly imprinted
				  tickets may be utilized to determine promotional prize winners. The drawing for
				  the promotional prizes may be held independently of the regular prize drawings
				  or may be incorporated therein. A winner of a regular weekly lottery drawing
				  may also be entitled to a promotional prize if the appropriate number
				  applicable thereto is also selected. The drawing for the promotional prize
				  shall be held at times to be determined by the Secretary and shall be conducted
				  in the same manner as that now provided for the selection of winning numbers in
				  existing weekly lottery drawings. In view of the temporary nature and
				  indeterminate frequency of promotional prize lotteries, a press announcement
				  and normal advertising media will be utilized to inform the public. The
				  Secretary may also establish incentive awards for lottery agents and persons
				  selling winning tickets for promotional prizes, and may also, in his
				  discretion, discontinue such awards without prior notice.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
				  subsection (a), the Secretary may, in his discretion, award in lieu equivalent
				  cash prizes to the prize winners of tangible items, in those instances where
				  deemed appropriate.
