Section 5011.5 - Miscellaneous(a) All number selections or other information appearing on a Pick-10 bet ticket shall be deemed to be made or given exclusively by the player. Where one person submits a ticket as agent or nominee for another person or persons, the commission shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of such transaction and all dealings of the commission will be conducted with the bearer of the ticket.(b) The commission reserves the right to change the prize structure, frequency of draws, draw dates or the game itself.(c) If, for any reason, a bet ticket is not entirely legible or is misprinted or altered in any way, then the computer record created at the time of sale will be the sole method of validation of the ticket. The commission reserves the right to refuse payment if all validation tests are not successfully completed.(d) When any question shall arise as to the validity of a lottery drawing for any reason whatsoever, the commission shall make the determination as to the validity of said drawing on the basis of information at the commission's disposal. The determination of the commission shall be a final determination.(e) Neither the commission nor the commission's contractors shall be responsible for lost or stolen tickets or for tickets redeemed or cancelled in error.(f) Commission rules do not allow for the payment of prizes for previously redeemed or cancelled tickets. Accordingly, neither the commission nor the contractors shall be responsible for bet tickets inadvertently returned to a player following redemption or cancellation by an agent. In such cases, the computer file will be the sole method for determining whether the ticket has been previously redeemed or cancelled.N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 9 § 5011.5
