(2) Prizes Greater than $600: Prizes greater than $600 may not be paid by a Lottery retailer. A player must claim a winning Scratch-it ticket prize of more than $600 by presenting the ticket to the Lottery as provided in OAR 177-046-0110.

(3) Second Chance Drawing Prizes: Prizes awarded by the Lottery from second chance drawings must be claimed in accordance with the provisions of OAR 177-052-0060.

(4) Validation and Payment of Lost, Damaged, or Destroyed Tickets for Prizes: If a player of a Scratch-it game cannot submit an intact winning ticket because a retailer lost, damaged, or destroyed the ticket while attempting to perform validation procedures on the game ticket, or because the ticket was otherwise damaged so that it cannot be validated through Lottery's central computer system or because it is otherwise unreadable, a prize claim may be submitted and potentially validated as provided in OAR 177-046-0110(8).

(5) Time Limit: A prize claim for a winning Scratch-it ticket must be made under this rule within the time limit specified in OAR 177-050-0100. A prize claim from a second chance drawing must be made within the time limit specified in OAR 177-052-0060.

(6) Invalid Tickets: Any ticket not passing all applicable validation checks is invalid and void for claims made under OAR 177-050-0025(3). A player submitting an invalid or void ticket is ineligible for any prize and no prize shall be paid for such a ticket. An invalid ticket will not be returned to the player and is not eligible for any second chance or promotional drawing.
