Chapter 7857 - LOTTERY PRIZE PAYMENTS
Part 7857.5000 - OWNERSHIP OF LOTTERY TICKETS
A lottery ticket is considered to be owned by the person who has physical possession of the ticket until a name is imprinted or placed on the rear portion of the lottery ticket in the area designated. When a name is placed in the designated area, the person whose name appears in that area is the owner of the ticket and is entitled to any prize attributable to that ticket. The lottery will only make payment of a prize to the name on the back of the ticket, notwithstanding any name submitted on the claim form. If two or more names appear on the rear of the ticket, or the owner of the ticket has otherwise agreed to share the prize, the prize will be paid as prescribed in the game procedures adopted for the game from which the prize was won.
