For the purposes of division 50, the following definitions
				apply except as otherwise specifically provided in OAR chapter 177 or unless
				the context requires otherwise:

			 game tickets which may or may not be attached to each other by perforations.

			 uncovered number printed on a Scratch-itSM ticket
			 which consists of a game number, a unique pack identification number, and a

			 of a Scratch-itSM ticket.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) General: Winning tickets in a
			 Scratch-itSM game are determined at the time of
			 manufacture when winning tickets are produced at random with the aid of
			 equipment in accordance with the payout percentage and prize structure
			 established for the game.
(2)
			 Determination of a Winning Ticket: To determine a winning ticket, the official
			 bar code or bar code number printed on the ticket must be scanned or manually
			 entered at the Lottery's Headquarters in Salem, a Lottery Kiosk, other
			 locations designated by the Director, or at a retail site by a Lottery retailer
			 into equipment connected to the Lottery's central computer system. If the
			 ticket is a winner, Lottery's computer system will identify it as such based
			 upon the official bar code or bar code number. Removing the latex covering on
			 the playing surface of the ticket does not identify a winning ticket. The latex
			 covering feature is offered for entertainment purposes only. The ticket holder
			 must notify the Lottery or a retailer of the apparent winning ticket and submit
			 it for validation as specified in these rules in order to claim a prize. The
			 ticket must be validated in accordance with Lottery's administrative rules as
			 may be amended from time to time before a prize may be paid.

			 winner of a second chance drawing, the Lottery will follow the requirements set
			 forth in OAR 177-052-0050.
(4)
			 Highest Prize: Only the highest prize amount will be paid on a winning
			 Scratch-itSM ticket, except for games which are
			 designed to offer multiple prizes. In all events, the determination of prize
			 winners is subject to the general ticket validation requirements set forth in
			 OAR 177-050-0027  and any additional requirements set forth on each
			 Scratch-itSM ticket. If the terms on a ticket
			 conflict with the Lottery's administrative rules, then the rules are the
			 controlling authority.

			 prize claim may be submitted and potentially validated as provided in OAR
