(1) How to Play LUCKY LINES™.

(a) LUCKY LINES is an instant-win, on-line lottery game in which players select seven (7) numbers from a field of one (1) to forty-nine (49).

(b) Players may make their LUCKY LINES ticket selections by marking a play slip or by telling the retailer their desired selections. There are five (5) panels on a play slip. Players can choose to play LUCKY LINES for $1, $2, $3 or $5 per panel. Players may mark their desired numbers on the play slip by selecting seven (7) numbers on each panel played, or may mark the “Quick Pick” box located at the bottom of each panel for the terminal to randomly select the seven (7) numbers in each panel played. A “Void” box is also located at the bottom of each panel and should be marked by the player if an error has been made in his or her selections in a panel. Players must use only blue or black ink or pencil for making selections. If play slips are used, they must be processed by a retailer in order to obtain a ticket. Retailers are authorized to manually enter numbers selected by a player. LUCKY LINES tickets cannot be cancelled.

(c) The player will receive a ticket printed with the player’s number selections in the YOUR NUMBERS section and a GAME BOARD of forty-nine (49) numbers for each panel played. If the player selects his or her own numbers, the YOUR NUMBERS will be displayed in ascending numerical order and the game board will display the forty-nine (49) numbers in random numerical order. If the player uses quick pick to select his or her numbers, the YOUR NUMBERS will be displayed in random numerical order and the game board will display the forty-nine (49) numbers in ascending numerical order.

(d) In the GAME BOARD section of the ticket, in order to determine whether he or she has won a prize, a player marks the seven (7) numbers that match the seven numbers in the YOUR NUMBERS section.

(2) How to Win.

(a) A ticket is a winning ticket if the player’s seven (7) numbers marked on the GAME BOARD form one of the following patterns:

1. Three (3) to seven (7) numbers together in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line;

2. Three (3) numbers together and three (3) or four (4) different numbers together in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line; or

3. None of the numbers touching.

(b) A number may be used only one time in a winning line per ticket, If a number is part of two winning lines, the pattern that offers the higher prize will be the winning pattern.

(c) A player may win only one (1) prize per ticket, e.g., if a player has five (5) numbers together, the player will not also win the four (4) and three (3) numbers together prizes.

(d) Prizes vary depending on the amount played. The prizes and estimated odds of winning are as follows:
