Section 5118.4 - Validation of vouchers

Validation and payment by voucher as a method of credit redemption shall be permissible only by a commission approved device that is linked to the central system that permits validation of such voucher. Validation approval or related information shall be generated by the central system in order to validate tickets. Vouchers may be validated only at locations approved in writing by the commission.

(a) A prize form shall be filed in the name of a single legal entity as claimant, either one individual or one organization. Multiple payees are not permitted, except as may be authorized pursuant to subdivision (c) of this section.

(b) If a claim is erroneously entered with multiple claimants, the claimants shall designate one of them as the individual recipient of the prize, or, if such claimants fail to designate an individual recipient, the commission may designate any one of the claimants as the sole recipient. In either case, the claim shall then be considered as if such claim were originally entered in the name of the designated individual and payment of any prizes won shall be made to that single individual.

(c) Under exceptional circumstances, payment may be made to multiple payees at the discretion of the commission.
