Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number one hundred forty two, "Instant Millions," shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose of this rule, "sales cycle" shall mean any such period, including reprints, beginning on the date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date established by the director as the date on which sales agents are to make their final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in game rule number one hundred forty two.

(B) General design.

(1) Game rule number one hundred forty two is a key number match game with a "Bonus" multiplying feature, a "Fast" play area, and is generally known as an "instant lottery."

(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering off the entire play area to reveal six "Winning Numbers," fifteen "Your Numbers," fifteen corresponding prize values and fifteen "Bonus" numbers. If any one or more of "Your Numbers" matches one or more of the "Winning Numbers," the player wins the corresponding prize value shown below the matching "Your Numbers." The player will then scratch the "Bonus" number play area under which a number will be revealed. The player will multiply the prize amount under "Your Number" by the "Bonus" number revealed to determine your winning prize for that matching number. "Bonus" numbers may include the numbers "1X," "2X," "3X," "4X," "5X," "10X," "20X," "25X," and "50X." If the player reveals a "Star" symbol, the player wins the corresponding prize automatically. If the player reveals an "INSTANT" symbol, the player wins an "Annuity Prize Award" of fifty thousand dollars per year for twenty years before taxes or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize Award" of five hundred thousand dollars. If the player reveals a "FIFTY$," HUNDRED$," or "FIVE HUNDRED$," symbol in the "Fast" play area, the player wins the corresponding prize award. If the player matches any one of "Your Numbers" to one of the "Winning Numbers" and the corresponding prize value revealed is a "TPD" symbol, the player wins five thousand five hundred dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing ("TPD") for a chance to win an "Annuity Prize Award" of fifty thousand dollars per year for twenty years before taxes or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize Award" of five hundred thousand dollars in lieu of the "Annuity Prize Award." The Top Prize Drawing shall be conducted in accordance with Ohio lottery rules and procedures established and approved by the director. There are fifteen chances to win on each ticket, and a player may win up to fifteen times on one ticket.

(3) The only "prize values" which shall appear on a ticket in game rule number one hundred forty two are: one dollar, two dollars, three dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, twenty five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, two hundred fifty dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, two thousand five hundred dollars, the "TPD" symbol corresponding to a prize value of five thousand five hundred dollars, ten thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars, and one million dollars. Numbers, prize values and play symbols appearing on any ticket in game rule number one hundred forty two shall be concealed by an opaque covering which may be scratched off by the holder of the ticket to reveal the underlying numbers, prize values and play symbols.

(C) Price of tickets. The price of a ticket issued by the commission in game rule number one hundred forty two shall be ten dollars.

(D) Structure, nature and value of prize awards.

(1) There shall be two types of prizes in game rule number one hundred forty two, a "regular prize award" and a "TPD" prize award.
