All prizes except "free ticket" prizes shall be paid in cash by either a Nebraska Lottery Game Retailer or at a Nebraska Lottery claim center. A "free ticket" prize shall be redeemable by a Lottery Game Retailer for a free quick pick of the next NEBRASKA PICK 5 drawing after redemption. If a "free ticket" prize is brought or mailed into Lottery Headquarters or a lottery claim center, the Headquarters or claim center may, at its sole discretion, transfer to the claimant a free quick pick ticket, transfer to the claimant a coupon for a "free ticket" redeemable at a Lottery Game Retailer or transfer to the claimant a warrant for $1 (one dollar).
The Nebraska Lottery may make changes in the prize structure, prize pool, probability of winning or the probable distribution of winners when the Nebraska Lottery finds that it would be in the best interest of the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game and the Nebraska Lottery.
The holder of a winning NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket may win only one prize per game play area in connection with the winning NEBRASKA PICK 5 numbers drawn, and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category.
Prize claims shall be submitted within the period set forth in Reg-602.05. In the event that the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game is closed, and no other redemption option is provided by the Division, a "Free ticket" prize may be redeemed for one dollar ($ 1.00) by submitting such claim to Lottery Headquarters or a Lottery Claim Center.
In the event that the Nebraska Lottery discontinues this game, any free plays that are won on the last draw of the game may be redeemed toward any other active lotto game within 180 days.
