SECTION 429:15-1-12. Grand prize drawing

(a)   This section shall apply to individual games that provide for a grand prize drawing, if any.

(b)   Game drawing procedures shall be provided to retailers and the public.

(c)   Eligibility for a grand prize drawing shall be determined by, but not limited to, a direct entry to a grand prize drawing or an entry into a preliminary draw as provided in Instant Game Procedures or Instant Game Promotion procedures. The OLC shall determine any prizes to be awarded and the method of payment which shall be stated in the Instant Game Procedures or Instant Game Promotion Procedures.

(d)   Preliminary draws and grand prize drawings shall be conducted at times and places and pursuant to the methods stated in the OLC Instant Game Procedures or Instant Game Promotion Procedures.

(e)   An entry to a preliminary or grand prize drawing submitted by a player in accordance with the applicable procedures is eligible to be included in a drawing.

(f)   Entries to a preliminary or grand prize drawing shall be delivered to the address or location designated by OLC no later than the last day of the time frame specified.

(g)   The number of preliminary draw and grand prize drawing winners selected to advance or to win a prize shall be specified. The odds of winning an entry into these drawings for a prize of a specific amount need not be uniform throughout the game and are subject to change by the OLC, depending on the number of entries received.

(h)   Each grand prize drawing finalist shall submit a completed claim form and the ticket, if appropriate, to the OLC within the required claim filing period. Failure to submit these items within the claim filing period and failure to have a valid ticket will be cause for ineligibility to the grand prize drawing.

(i)   Each grand prize drawing finalist will be notified by the OLC of the date of his/her appearance, if any, at the grand prize drawing.

(j)   If a dispute arises between the OLC and a ticket claimant concerning whether the ticket is a winning ticket and if the ticket prize has not been paid, the OLC may, at its sole discretion, reimburse the claimant for the cost of the disputed ticket. This shall be the claimant's exclusive remedy.
