61 Pa. Code § 811.41 - Promotional prizes
(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.
