(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number one hundred seventy-eight, "$100,000,000 Mega Fortune" shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purposes 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 seventy-eight.
(B) General design.
(1)
Game rule number one hundred seventy-eight is a key number match game with an
instant win feature and a "multiplier" feature and is generally known as an
"instant lottery."
(2)
The holder of a valid ticket will remove the covering
over the entire play area to reveal six "Winning Numbers," twenty "Your
Numbers" and twenty corresponding prize values. If any one or more of "Your
Numbers" matches one or more of the "Winning Numbers," the player wins the
corresponding prize values shown below the matching "Your Numbers." If the
player reveals a "Moneybag" symbol in any of the "Your Numbers" play spots, the
player wins the corresponding prize value automatically. If the player reveals
a "Burst" symbol in any of the "Your Numbers" play spots, the player wins one
hundred dollars automatically. If the player reveals a "10X" symbol in any of
the "Your Numbers" play spots, the player wins ten times the corresponding
prize value shown automatically. If the player reveals a "20X" symbol in any of
the "Your Numbers" play spots, the player wins twenty times the corresponding
prize value shown automatically. If the player matches any 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 automatically be entered into the Top Prize Drawing ("TPD") for a chance
to win an "Annuity Prize Award" of two hundred fifty thousand dollars per year
for twenty years before taxes or the "Elected Cash-Option Prize Award" of
approximately two million five hundred thousand dollars before taxes 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 twenty chances to win on each ticket, and a player may
win up to twenty times on one ticket.
