Chapter 801 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 801.6 - Erroneous or mutilated tickets

Lottery tickets made out in error or mutilated in any way shall be voided by the agent. Credit for such tickets may be issued only at the point of original sale. The lottery number and the lottery security control number and the lottery drawing date shall all be legible in order to obtain a credit. Unless a mutilated lottery ticket is proven to the satisfaction of the director to be genuine, no credit shall be issued. However, a holder of a mutilated lottery ticket may win a prize as long as that ticket is identified as a valid ticket and the lottery number, the lottery security control number, and the lottery drawing date are all legible.
