Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
(a) All or Nothing. The executive director is
authorized to conduct a game known as "All or Nothing." The executive director
may issue further directives for the conduct of All or Nothing that are
consistent with this rule. In the case of conflict, this rule takes precedence
over §
401.304 of this title (relating to
Draw Game Rules (General)).
(b)
Object of the Game. The object of the game is to either select as many or as
few numbers that match the 12 numbers drawn in the drawing. If a player matches
more than 7 (seven) or fewer than 5 (five) numbers drawn in the drawing, the
player wins a prize. (See the prize schedule chart in subsection (g) of this
section.) If the player matches all 12 numbers drawn in the drawing, or does
not match any numbers drawn in the drawing, the player wins the Top Prize. If
more than one ticket has been sold in which a player has matched all or none of
the numbers drawn in the drawing, each player possessing such ticket shall win
the Top Prize.
(c) Definitions. In
addition to the definitions provided in §
401.301 of this title (relating to
General Definitions), and unless the context in this rule otherwise requires,
the following definitions apply.
(1)
Play--The selection of twelve different numbers from 1 to 24 for one
opportunity to win in All or Nothing and the purchase of a ticket evidencing
that selection.
(2) Playboard--A
field of 24 numbers from 1 to 24 found on the playslip.
(d) Plays and tickets.
(1) A ticket may be sold only by a retailer
and only at the location listed on the retailer's license. A ticket sold by a
person other than a retailer is not valid.
(2) The price of an individual play is $2.
(3) A player may use a single
playslip or other commission-approved method of play to purchase the same
play(s) for up to 24 consecutive drawings, to begin with the next drawing after
the purchase.
(4) A retailer shall
issue a ticket as evidence of one or more plays. A ticket must show the numbers
selected for each play, the number of plays, the draw date(s) and time(s) for
which the plays were purchased, the cost of the ticket and the security and
transaction serial numbers. Tickets must be printed on official Texas Lottery
paper stock, or, for third-party point-of-sale systems approved by the
commission, printed on paper stock or otherwise issued in a manner approved by
the commission to provide tangible evidence of participation in a lottery game.
(5) An unsigned winning ticket is
payable to the holder or bearer of the ticket if the ticket meets all
applicable validation requirements.
(e) Drawings.
(1) All or Nothing drawings will be held four
times a day, (at 10:00 a.m., 12:27 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 10:12 p.m. Central
Time) six days a week (Monday through Saturday). The executive director may
change the drawing schedule, if it is deemed necessary.
(2) Twelve different numbers from 1 to 24
shall be drawn at each All or Nothing drawing.
(3) Numbers drawn must be certified by the
commission in accordance with the commission's draw procedures.
(4) The numbers selected in a drawing shall
be used to determine all winners for that drawing.
(5) A drawing will not be invalidated based
on the financial liability of the lottery.
(f) Announcement of incentive or bonus
program. The executive director shall announce each incentive or bonus program
prior to its commencement. The announcement shall specify the beginning and
ending time, if applicable, of the incentive or bonus program and the value for
the award.
(g) Prizes.
(1) The Top Prize.
(A) Each person who holds a valid ticket for
a play matching (in any order) the twelve numbers drawn in a drawing, or
matching none of the twelve numbers drawn in a drawing is entitled to a top
prize in the amount of $250,000; provided that, in any drawing where the number
of top prize winning plays is greater than twenty (20), the top prize shall be
paid on a pari-mutuel rather than fixed prize basis and a liability cap of $5
million will be divided equally by the number of top prize winning plays. For
purposes of prize calculation with respect to the pari-mutuel prize, the
calculation shall be rounded down so that prizes shall be paid in multiples of
one dollar. Any part of the top pari-mutuel prize for a drawing that is not
paid in prizes (breakage) shall be applied to offset prize expense. All other
prizes are in amounts for matching or non-matching selections as shown in the
following chart. All prizes are paid in cash.
