Section 179-4-93 - Cashing Winning Video Lottery Tickets; Calculating the Ten-Day Rule

A video lottery credit ticket or voucher must be cashed within 10 days after it is printed. The ten-day period shall be calculated as follows:

93.1. Redemption of a video lottery credit ticket or voucher can only occur during the scheduled hours of video lottery gaming as those hours have been approved by the Commission;

93.2. Ten days is calculated by excluding the day the credit ticket or voucher was printed and including the tenth subsequent day until the close of video lottery gaming that began on that tenth subsequent day. This ten-day calculation may not be extended regardless of whether the tenth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, or when the limited gaming facility is closed. Examples:

93.2.a. Example 1 - A video lottery credit ticket or voucher is printed at 5:00 p.m. on November 10. On November 20, the limited gaming facility begins video lottery gaming at noon and ends video lottery gaming at 2:00 a.m.. That video lottery credit ticket or voucher is redeemable until 2:00 a.m.

93.2.b. Example 2 - A video lottery credit ticket or voucher is printed at 1:00 a.m. on November 11; this is counted as game day November 10. On November 20, the limited gaming facility begins video lottery gaming at noon and ends video lottery gaming at midnight. That video lottery credit ticket or voucher is redeemable until midnight on November 20.

93.2.c. Example 3 - A video lottery credit ticket or voucher is printed on January 18; under normal conditions, the deadline for cashing would be January 28. Flooding occurs which closes the limited gaming facility on January 20; the limited gaming facility does not reopen until February 20. February 20 will be considered to be day ten for cashing video lottery vouchers printed on January 18.
