370 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 1300, § 1301

Current through September 17, 2024

Section 370-1300-1301 - GAME DESCRIPTION

1301.01 2by2 is a two (2) out of twenty-six (26) plus two (2) out of twenty-six (26) on-line lottery game drawn once a day, seven days a week, which pays the Grand Prize and all other prizes on a set cash basis. To play 2by2, a player shall select two (2) different "red" numbers, from one (1) through twenty-six (26), inclusive, and two (2) additional "white" numbers from one (1) through twenty-six (26), inclusive, for input into a terminal. The numbers for the second (white) set of two numbers may be the same as the numbers for the first (red) set of two numbers selected by the player. Tickets can be purchased for one dollar ($ 1.00), including sales tax where mandated, either from a terminal operated by an agent (i.e., a clerk-activated terminal) or from a terminal operated by the player (i.e., a player-activated terminal; if permitted within that jurisdiction). If purchased from an agent, the player may select the two sets of numbers by communicating their four (4) numbers to the agent, or by appropriately marking their four (4) numbered squares in any one game board on a play slip and submitting the play slip to the agent or by requesting "computer pick" from the agent. The agent will then issue a ticket, via the terminal, containing the selected sets of numbers, each of which constitutes a game play. If permitted within the jurisdiction, tickets can be purchased from a player-activated terminal by use of a touch screen or by inserting a play slip into the machine.

1301.01ASeven Draws Promotion. A multi-draw ticket with one or more plays for only seven consecutive draws or only multiples of seven consecutive draws shall qualify for double prizes won on the included Tuesday draw, as limited by REG-1302.03. Plays purchased for any number of draws other than in multiples of seven draws shall not qualify for double prizes won on any Tuesday.

1301.02 Claims

A ticket (subject to the validation requirements set forth in 2by2 Rule 31 (Ticket Validation)) shall be the only proof of a game play or plays and the submission of a winning ticket to the issuing Party Lottery or its authorized agent shall be the sole method of claiming a prize or prizes. A play slip has no pecuniary or prize value and shall not constitute evidence of ticket purchase or of numbers selected.

1301.03 Cancellations Prohibited

A ticket may not be voided or canceled by returning the ticket to the selling agent or to the lottery, including tickets that are printed in error. No ticket which can be used to claim a prize shall be returned to the lottery for credit. Tickets accepted by retailers as returned tickets and which cannot be re-sold shall be deemed owned by the bearer thereof.

Comment. Good retailer relations may require a member lottery to compensate a retailer for tickets which are misprinted, illegible or, for other reason which may be acceptable to the member lottery, cannot be sold by the retailer. This rule permits each member lottery, at its discretion, to compensate a retailer for a returned ticket which is not eligible to win a prize at the time it is returned to the member lottery. To avoid the appearance that a returned ticket is being canceled, the lottery should require that the ticket not be placed in transit until after the applicable drawing. Returned tickets are accepted only for a member lottery's auditing purposes and shall have no effect on the outcome of the drawing for which they were issued or reduce the member lottery's contribution to the jackpot prize pool. Tickets stolen by a retailer's hired clerk cannot be accepted by the lottery as canceled or returned tickets. Although the rule would permit a member lottery to compensate a retailer for the loss from theft if a lottery wishes to assume such a loss, the tickets cannot be canceled or returned to the lottery. The tickets are owned by, and winning tickets may be claimed by the retailer.

1301.04 Player Responsibility

It shall be the sole responsibility of the player to verify the accuracy of the game play or plays and other data printed on the ticket. The placing of plays is done at the player's own risk through the on-line agent who is acting on behalf of the player in entering the play or plays.

1301.05 Entry of Plays

Plays may only be entered manually using the lottery terminal keypad or touch screen or by means of a play slip provided by the Party Lottery and hand-marked by the player or by such other means approved by the Party Lottery. Retailers shall not permit the use of facsimiles of play slips, copies of play slips, or other materials that are inserted into the terminal's play slip reader that are not printed or approved by the Party Lottery. Retailers shall not permit any device to be connected to a lottery terminal to enter plays, except as approved by the Party Lottery.

1301.06 Future Plays

No Party Lottery shall offer advance plays or multi-draw plays which extend more than 90 days beyond the sale date. Proceeds from advance sales may be held by the Party Lottery until the draw date for which the ticket applies.

1301.07 Drawings

Drawings shall be held at the times and places established by the 2by2 Group and the results shall be subsequently announced to the public.

(a) The Member Lottery Director shall determine the time for the end of sales prior to the drawings, which shall not be later than the time established by the 2by2 Group. On-line terminals shall not process on-line tickets for that drawing after the time established by the Member Lottery Director.

(b) The 2by2 Group shall designate the type of drawing equipment to be used and shall establish drawing procedures to randomly select the winning combination and to ensure the integrity of the drawing process.
