Overall odds of winning and prizes are determined by the number and type of bet selected for each draw.
The Lucky One® is a set payout game which pays prizes based on a one-dollar ($1) bet shall be as follows:
Wager Types | Selections | How to Win | Example Player Selects | Example Number Drawn | $1 Bet Pays | Odds of Winning |
Lucky Number | Any number from 1-36 | Player must match number drawn | Player selects the number 2 | 2 | $24 | 1:36 |
Odd/Even | Odd or Even | Player must match if the number drawn is odd or even | Player selects odd | 1 | $1.50 | 1:2 |
High/Low | High or Low | Player must match if the number drawn is high or low | Player selects high | 30 | $1.50 | 1:2 |
The Lucky One® shall have a two million dollar ($2,000,000) prize liability limit paid out in any single draw.
In the event of multiple winners in a single drawing, in which the total payout for that drawing would exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000), each ticket would be awarded a proportional share of the two million dollar ($2,000,000) jackpot prize cap by dividing each ticket's winning jackpot prize total by the total of all winning prizes to determine each ticket's proportional share of the two million dollar ($2,000,000) prize cap.
The Executive Director may adopt other prize structures that shall be effective upon the issuance of instructions to the public.
If a player validates a winning The Lucky One® Ticket and a portion of The Lucky One® Ticket has draw(s) remaining, a The Lucky One® Exchange Ticket will be reissued to the player at no additional cost. The Lucky One® Exchange Ticket shall contain the exact The Lucky One® game play and future drawing date(s) appearing on the validated The Lucky One® Ticket it is replacing and shall have all other characteristics of a The Lucky One® Ticket except as otherwise stated in these rules. The Lucky One® Exchange Ticket shall not contain a ticket price.
The Lucky One® Exchange Ticket is valid beginning with the next draw through the last draw on the original The Lucky One® Ticket.
