801.01 General

NEBRASKA PICK 5 is an online lottery game which pays all prizes including the Grand Prize on a cash basis except as provided in these regulations or the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game rules. To play NEBRASKA PICK 5, a player shall select five (5) different numbers as established in the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game rules for input into a terminal. NEBRASKA PICK 5 tickets shall be purchased from a terminal operated by a Lottery Game Retailer. The player shall select a set of five numbers by communicating the five (5) numbers to the Lottery Game Retailer, or by hand marking five (5) numbered squares in any one game play area on a play slip and submitting the play slip to the Lottery Game Retailer, or by requesting a computer "quick pick" from the Lottery Game Retailer. The Lottery Game Retailer will then issue a NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket, via the terminal, containing the selected set or sets of numbers, each of which constitutes a NEBRASKA PICK 5 game play.

801.02 Claims

A NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket (subject to the validation requirements set forth in Reg-805 NEBRASKA PICK 5 Ticket Validation) shall be the only proof of a NEBRASKA PICK 5 game play or plays and the submission of a winning NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket to the Nebraska Lottery or an authorized Lottery Game Retailer shall be the sole method of claiming a prize or prizes. A play slip has no pecuniary or prize value and shall not constitute evidence of a NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket purchase or of numbers selected.

801.03 Cancellations Prohibited

A NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket may not be voided or canceled by returning the NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket to the selling Lottery Game Retailer or to the Nebraska Lottery, including NEBRASKA PICK 5 tickets that are printed in error. No NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket which can be used to claim a prize shall be returned to the Nebraska Lottery for credit. NEBRASKA PICK 5 tickets accepted by Nebraska Lottery Game Retailers as returned tickets will remain charged to the Nebraska Lottery Game Retailer's account. Ownership of the tickets is in bearer form until the ticket is signed on the reverse side. Nebraska Lottery Game Retailers who accept unsigned NEBRASKA PICK 5 tickets as returned tickets and who cannot re-sell those tickets shall be deemed the owners of those tickets.

801.04 Player Responsibility

It shall be the sole responsibility of the player to verify the accuracy of the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game play or plays and other data printed on the NEBRASKA PICK 5 ticket. The placing of NEBRASKA PICK 5 plays is done at the player's own risk through the on-line Lottery Game Retailer who is acting on behalf of the player in entering the NEBRASKA PICK 5 play or plays.

801.05 Entry of NEBRASKA PICK 5 Plays

NEBRASKA PICK 5 plays may only be entered manually using the on-line lottery terminal keypad (including a computer "quick pick") or by means of a play slip provided by the Nebraska Lottery and hand-marked by the player. A Lottery Game Retailer shall not permit the use of facsimiles of play slips, copies of play slips, or other materials that are inserted into the terminal's play slip reader that are not printed or approved by the Nebraska Lottery. Lottery Game Retailers shall not permit any device to be connected to an on-line lottery terminal to enter NEBRASKA PICK 5 plays, except as approved by the Nebraska Lottery. Any playslip number selection by a method other than hand marked by the player and any resulting ticket shall be invalid.

801.06 Drawings

Drawings shall be held at the times and places established by the Nebraska Lottery in the NEBRASKA PICK 5 game rules and the results shall be subsequently announced to the public.
