shall be imprinted with one set of five unique numbers from the set of integers
one through thirty-nine inclusive, as determined by the choice of the ticket
purchaser or the auto pick feature of the computer system and recorded on the
ticket at the time of purchase.
(3) At such times as determined by the
director, drawings will be conducted at which five unique numbers shall be
selected at random from the set of integers one through thirty-nine inclusive.

issued by the commission in game number twenty-three shall be one dollar for

multiples thereof, as designated by the director if a multi-wager is requested
at the player's discretion in accordance with the number of game panels and

(D) Structure,
nature and value of prize awards. Based upon the numbers drawn in each regular

(3) For each
ticket bearing a selection which matches four, and only four, of the five
integers drawn, the prize is three hundred dollars.
(4) For each ticket bearing a selection which

the amount designated by the director (hereinafter "jackpot"). The director or
his designee shall designate and certify the amount of the jackpot for each
drawing in writing prior to each drawing.
The director shall have discretion to change the prizes and percentages which represent the prize pools in each of the categories referred to in paragraphs (D)(1), (D)(2), (D)(3) and (D)(4) of this rule.
(5) The minimum total jackpot
amount in any jackpot for which at least one ticket bears a winning selection
which matches five of the five integers drawn, as validated by the on-line
computer system, shall be one hundred thousand dollars, and shall be divided
equally among the winning selections if there is more than one winning
selection. The director may set the jackpot at levels higher than the minimum
amount in accordance with paragraph (D)(4) of this rule.
(6) Any amounts remaining in the prize pools
described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(4) of this rule after any given drawing,
due to residual amounts after prize disbursements, shall be retained by the
commission.
(7) When there are no
winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in paragraph (D)(4) of this
rule, the director shall, in accordance with paragraph (D)(4) of this rule,
establish what amounts from such prize pool shall be carried forward into the
jackpot for the next drawing.
(8)
When there are no winning tickets issued for the prize pool described in
paragraph (D)(4) of this rule, the jackpot prize amount shall roll
pari-mutuelly based on sales as set by the director or increase by a guaranteed
amount established by the director, whichever jackpot prize amount is greater.
(E) Frequency of prize
drawings. Drawings shall be held at times determined by the director.
(F) Manner of prize drawings.

public and may be held at such places in the state that the director shall

each prize drawing.
(2) All
holders of valid tickets for a given drawing are eligible to win in that
drawing. Prize winners shall claim their prizes by surrendering their tickets
in accordance with procedures established by the director.
(3) All drawings in game number twenty-three
shall be conducted in accordance with random selection procedures approved by
the director. For every drawing in game number twenty-three, the director will
approve procedures and mechanisms for the selection of winners and awarding of
prizes.
(G) Validity of
tickets.
(1) Each purchaser of tickets in
game number twenty-three shall be responsible for verifying that the numbers
imprinted on such tickets are those requested, that the purchase price paid is
the price recorded on such ticket, and that such ticket has recorded thereon
the type of bet(s) and the drawing date(s) therefor that the purchaser desired
to make. The Ohio lottery commission shall be free of any liability in
connection with this paragraph.
(2) Each ticket issued in game number
twenty-three shall have imprinted thereon at the time of purchase a control
number, bar code data, or both, supplied by the commission. No prize shall be
paid by the commission for any tickets without such control number or bar code
data.
(3) All winning tickets in
game number twenty-three are subject to validation by the on-line computer
system under procedures established by the director before payment of any
prize.
(4) In addition to, but not
in limitation of, all other power and authority conferred on the director by
the commission's rules, the director may declare a ticket in game number
twenty-three void if it is stolen, not sold or deemed not sold in accordance
with commission rules; if it is illegible, altered, or counterfeit; or if the
ticket fails any of the validation tests or procedures established by the
director.
The commission's liability and responsibility for a ticket declared void, if any, is limited to refund of the retail sales price of the ticket.
(5) For the
purpose of determining the number of winning wagers, division of the jackpot is
contingent on the on-line computer system's determination of winning wagers
sold and not by the number of winning tickets presented for payment. If the
holder of a winning ticket does not have the ticket validated within the
requisite validation period from the date of the drawing, in accordance with
the procedures set forth in these rules the unclaimed share of the jackpot
shall be paid into the state lottery fund and distributed in accordance with
section 3770.06 of the Revised Code and
not to the other winner(s) who have validated a ticket.
(H) Director's conduct of game number
twenty-three.

game number twenty-three in a manner consistent with the Lottery Act, rules of
the commission, including without limitation, this rule and regulations of the
director. As deemed necessary or advisable, The director shall adopt management
regulations, orders or directives to implement and operate this lottery game.
Furthermore, all Ohio lottery players are subject to laws and regulations of
the Ohio lottery commission.

Names and definitions of elements of game number twenty-three within this rule
are considered generic terms used solely for the purpose of this rule. In
actual operation, game number twenty-three and these elements may be given
names or titles chosen by the commission.
(3) The director shall have discretion to
combine existing or future games for promotional purposes in order to increase
revenues and to create a different payment structure for prizes to be paid if

to accomplish payment of any prize pool, including use of the unclaimed prizes
fund.
