30 DCMR § 311 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT REQUIREMENTS

311.1 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the delivery of programs offered by entities of state or local government. The purpose of this section is to ensure that the Agency is in compliance with the ADA by ensuring that people with disabilities have access to the Lottery Program.

311.2 The following general requirements shall apply to the Lottery Program:

(a) No lottery sales agent shall discriminate against any individual on the basis of a disability in the full and equal enjoyment of lottery related goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any lottery licensed facility;

(b) Each sales agent is required to meet a standard of accessibility that enables people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs, to enter the lottery licensed facility and participate in the Lottery Program. An Accessible Route must be provided comprised of the following accessible elements:

(1) Parking, if parking is provided to the general public;

(2) Exterior route connecting parking (or a public way, if no parking is provided) to an accessible entrance;

(3) Entrance; and

(4) Interior route connecting the entrance to a Service Site;

(c) Each element shall meet the design standards set forth in the ADA Accessibility Guidelines, published in the Federal Register on July 26, 1991; and

(d) In defining the scope or extent of any duty imposed by this section, including compliance with the standard of accessibility required, higher or more comprehensive obligations established by otherwise applicable federal or District laws or regulations may be considered.

311.3 With respect to new license applicants, the Agency shall do the following prior to granting a license:

(a) Inspect the site of applicants for compliance with this section; and

(b) Provide the applicants with an Inspection Report that shall identify barrier removal actions, if any, necessary to provide program accessibility.

(c) The identified barrier removal actions must be completed prior to the granting of a license. The Executive Director will not grant a license to an applicant who is otherwise not in compliance with this section.

311.4 With respect to licensed sales agents, the Agency shall do the following:

(a) Inspect the site of each licensed lottery sales agent for compliance with this section; and

(b) Provide to the sales agents an Inspection Report that shall identify barrier removal actions, if any, necessary to provide program accessibility.

(c) All identified barrier removal actions must be completed within 90 days of receipt of the Inspection Report.

(d) For good cause shown, the Executive Director may grant an extension of up to 90 days to allow a licensed sales agent to complete barrier removal actions identified in the Inspection Report. Any request for an extension must be in writing, and shall include specific reasons for an extension and supporting documentation.

311.5 Permitted exemptions. The following exemptions to the requirements of this section may be granted by the Executive Director. The Executive Director shall review the circumstances and supporting documentation provided by the sales agent or applicant to determine if the request for an exemption should be granted. In deciding whether to grant an exemption, the Executive Director shall take into consideration the overriding requirement that the Lottery Program meet all applicable accessibility requirements. The Executive Director shall determine the type and scope of documentation to be required for each exemption classification. All decisions made by the Executive Director shall be final; any sales agent whose request for an exemption is denied by the Executive Director shall be required to satisfy the requirements of this rule as a condition for maintaining its eligibility as a licensed sales agent. In determining whether to grant an exemption the Executive Director shall take into account the requirement that the Lottery Program be in compliance with the ADA and the Executive Director may deny a request for exemption if the Executive Director finds that granting the exemption would cause the D.C. Lottery and Charitable Games Control Board to become out of compliance with any legal obligation pertaining to program accessibility.

(a) Historic properties. To the extent a historic building is exempt under federal law, and if barrier removal would threaten or destroy the historic significance of the structure, this rule shall not apply to a qualified historic building or facility that is listed in or is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under the National Historic Preservation Act or is designated as historic under any other federal or District law.

(b) Legal impediment to barrier removal. Any law, act, ordinance, federal or District regulation, ruling or decision which prohibits the lottery sales agent from removing a structural impediment or from making a required improvement to the facility may be the basis for an exemption to this rule. A lottery sales agent requesting an exemption for a legal impediment will not be required to formally seek a zoning variance to establish such impediment, but will be required to document that they have applied for and have been refused whatever permit(s) are necessary to remove the identified barrier(s).

(c) Landlord refusal. An exemption may be granted based on the refusal of a landlord to grant permission to a sales agent to make improvements required by the Agency under this rule or based on the refusal of a landlord to pay for improvements required by the Agency under this rule. To request such an exemption, the sales agent must submit documentation to the Executive Director that the sales agent requested the landlord's permission and financial participation to make the required structural improvements, that such request was denied by the landlord, and the reasons for the denial. In making a decision on the exemption request, the Executive Director shall take into consideration, but not be limited to, the sufficiency of the reasons provided by the landlord for denying the sales agent's request.

(d) Undue financial hardship. A limited exemption may be granted if a sales agent can demonstrate that the cost of removing a structural barrier or of making the required structural modification(s) to the sales agent's facility is an undue financial hardship in that the cost of making such a change(s) exceeds 25% of the sales agent's compensation from the lottery for the prior calendar year (An annualized sales figure based upon the sales agent's most current 13-week sales period shall be used for those sales agent locations with less than a full year's history of sales.) Under the terms of this limited exemption, a sales agent would be required to annually make those improvements and modifications that can be financed within an amount that is approximately equal to 25% of the total compensation earned from the Agency in the prior calendar year. This requirement would continue on a year-to-year basis until all the improvements and modifications required by this rule have been completed. A sales agent shall provide all supporting documentation requested by the Executive Director to substantiate the cost estimates of making the required improvements to the sales agent's location.

(e) Technical Infeasibility. A permanent exemption may be granted if a sales agent can demonstrate that the removal of architectural barriers identified in the Inspection Report is not possible due to technical infeasibility. If such a claim is made, the Agency may have the barrier removal action evaluated by a person knowledgeable in accessibility codes and construction to determine the merits of the claim.

(f) Alternative methods. Where an exemption is granted in accordance with the provisions of this rule, the sales agent shall make the lottery related goods and services available through alternative methods. Examples of alternative methods include, but are not limited to:

(1) Providing curb service; or

(2) Directing by signage to the nearest accessible Lottery sales agent.

311.6 Complaints Relating to Non-Accessibility

(a) An aggrieved party may file an accessibility complaint with the Executive Director or designee for review. Complaints must be in writing and, where possible, submitted on an Agency ADA complaint form. As soon as practical, but not later than 30 days after the filing of a complaint, each complaint will be investigated. After the completion of the investigation, if the agency determines that the lottery sales agent is not in compliance with this regulation, a letter of non-compliance will be issued to the Lottery sales agent with a copy to the complainant. If the Lottery sales agent is determined to be in compliance, a letter so stating will be mailed to the sales agent and complainant. Regardless of whether a complaint has been filed, the agency will issue a letter of noncompliance within 30 days after the completion of an onsite inspection of the Lottery sales agent facility if the agency determines that the lottery sales agent is not in compliance with this regulation.

(b) If the letter of non-compliance shows deficiencies in the accessibility of the sales agent facility, the lottery sales agent shall submit a plan to the agency within 30 days of the issuance of the letter of non-compliance. The plan shall describe in detail how the lottery sales agent will achieve compliance with this regulation. Compliance shall be accomplished within 90 days of the letter of non-compliance. The lottery may, upon request, grant the lottery sales agent additional time to submit the plan for good cause.

(c) Within 20 days of the submission of the plan to the Agency, the Agency shall notify the lottery sales agent of the agency's acceptance or rejection of the plan. If the plan is rejected, the notification shall contain the reasons for rejection of the plan and the corrections needed to make the plan acceptable to the Agency. If the sales agent agrees to make the required corrections, the Agency shall accept the plan as modified.

(d) If a sales agent fails to submit a plan within 30 days of issuance of the letter of noncompliance and has not requested an extension of time to submit a plan, the Agency may proceed to initiate enforcement proceedings.

(e) If approved, the plan must be completely implemented within 60 days of the agency's notice of approval. The Agency may, upon request, grant the lottery sales agent additional time for good cause. Notice of any extension will also be sent to the complainant, if applicable. Any such extension will commence immediately upon expiration of the first 60 day period.

(f) If the corrective action taken by the lottery sales agent corrects the deficiencies specified in the letter of noncompliance as originally issued or as later revised or reissued or if the onsite inspection of the lottery sales agent facility reveals compliance with this regulation, the Agency will issue a notice of compliance. Until this notice is issued, a complaint will be considered pending.

(g) Failure to make the identified modifications in compliance with the accessibility standards and within the required time period will result in the initiation of proceedings to suspend or revoke the lottery license by the Agency.

(h) A license will be suspended if the Agency determines that the lottery sales agent has made significant progress toward correcting deficiencies listed in the compliance report, but has not completed implementation of the approved compliance plan. If the Agency determines that the lottery sales agent has not made a good faith effort to correct the deficiencies listed in the compliance report, this inaction will result in the revocation of the sales agent license for that lottery licensed facility.

(i) While proceedings to suspend or revoke a lottery sales agent's license are pending pursuant to this regulation, and until a notice of compliance is issued pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, the lottery shall withhold incentive payments from the lottery sales agent. In addition, if a license is revoked pursuant to this regulation, and incentive payments and other privileges have been withheld from the affected sales agent pending review of the complaint, the lottery sales agent forfeits any claim to such incentive payments or other privileges.

311.7 A sales agent may request a hearing pursuant to Chapter 4 of this title, if the Agency proposes the denial of an application for a sales agent license or the suspension or revocation of a sales agent’s license pursuant to this section.

311.8 Remedies established by this section are not intended to supplant, restrict, or otherwise impair resort to remedies otherwise available under law, including those authorized by the ADA and D.C. Official Code § 2-1401.01 et seq.

Prize payments may be rounded down to the nearest one thousand dollars ($ 1,000).

606.4 In the event of a Mega Millions prize winner selects the cash value option, the prize winner’s share shall be paid in a single payment upon completion of internal validation procedures. The cash value option shall be determined by the Mega Millions lotteries.

An Annuitant shall be paid their appropriate Grand Prize share or Second Level Prize share on an annual basis for life, or for the twenty (20) year term of the Guaranteed Annuity Portion, whichever is longer.

In no event shall installment payments be made in the Deferred Annuity Portion of the Annuity Option after the Annuitant’s death.

The player can win on both the straight and box bets when the three digits specified by the player match in exact order with the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. The player can win on the box portion when any other combination of the three (3) digits (with any two (2) of the three (3) digits being the same) selected by the player matches the winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. Wagers are limited to fifty cents (50¢) on the straight portion and fifty cents (50¢) on the box portion for a total of one dollar ($1) per ticket;

For example, if the winning number is "311," then only bets placed on "311" in that exact order will be winners on both portions of the ticket. However, bets placed on "113" or "131" will be winners in the box portion only.

(f) Six-Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of three (3) different digits specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of six (6) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "123" then all box bets placed on "123" (i.e. "132," "231," "213," "321," or "312") will be winners.

(g) Three-Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of three digits (with any two (2) of the three (3) digits being the same) specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of three (3) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "711," then all box bets placed on "711" (i.e. "117," or "171") will be winners.

(h) Back Pair: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when the last two (2) digits specified by the player match in exact order with the last two (2) digits of the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of ten (10) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "123," then only bets placed on "X23" will be winners; and

(i) Front Pair: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when the first two (2) digits specified by the player match in exact order the first two (2) digits of the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of ten (10) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost.

For example, if the winning number is "123," then only bets placed on "12X" will be winners.

(d) Twelve-Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of four (4) digits (with any two (2) of the four (4) digits being the same) specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event.

(e) Twenty-Four Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of four (4) different digits specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Office for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of twenty-four (24) wagers for a single unit ticket cost;

908.2 A POWERBALL(R) Grand prize per winner annuity or cash payment may be elected when the prize is claimed or within sixty (60) days of the entitlement to the prize.

908.3 Entitlement to the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize, or a per winner portion thereof, shall occur upon the:

(a) Presentation of a winning POWERBALL(R) lottery ticket for validation;

(b) Presentation of a completed and signed claim form at a Claim Center; and

(c) Satisfaction of all lottery ticket and claim validation requirements set forth in this Title including, without limitation, all final determinations that may be required by the Executive Director.

908.4 A payment election made after entitlement to the prize occurs is final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn, or changed.

908.5 The Executive Director may adopt procedures, requirements, and documentation to complete a POWERBALL(R) Grand prize payment election. The Executive Director's acceptance of an election is conditional upon his or her determination that the election request is valid.

908.6 If the documentation required by the Executive Director to complete a prize election is to be completed and signed in the name of a legal entity, the entity must designate in writing one (1) duly authorized natural person to execute the documentation.

908.7 If a POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize claimant is unable to complete the documentation required by the Executive Director for a prize payment election due to a legal, physical, or other disability, a duly authorized representative, guardian, conservator, custodian, or other fiduciary may complete and execute all required documentation on the claimant's behalf.

908.8 If a natural person completing the documentation required by the Executive Director to complete prize election is the personal representative of the estate of a deceased winner, or the authorized representative of a legal person or other entity entitled to claim the prize, he or she shall submit his or her letter of administration, trust, other authorizing documents, or their legal equivalent, showing an appointment from the court having jurisdiction over the estate, or other evidence of legally binding authorization.

908.9 Errors or omissions contained in documentation required by the Executive Director to complete a prize election shall not toll the period in which to elect an annuity or cash payment.

908.10 A person who executes documentation required by the Executive Director to complete a prize election shall be considered to have represented that the information contained therein is accurate and complete. Any person who willfully submits false or fraudulent documentation may be prosecuted for the offense of making a false statement in accordance with D.C. Official Code § 22-2405.

908.11 All provisions of this Title relating to the election of a POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize payment shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the purposes, requirements, and restrictions of 26 U.S.C. § 451.

908.12 If individual shares of the cash held to fund an annuity are less than $ 250,000, the Executive Director may elect to pay the winners their share of the cash held in the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize pool.

908.13 If the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize is not won in a weekly drawing, the prize money allocated for the POWERBALL(R) Grand prize shall roll over.

908.14 Pursuant to agreements governing the conduct of the POWERBALL(R) game, the Executive Director may offer guaranteed minimum POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize amounts or minimum increases in the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize amount between drawings or make other changes in the allocation of prize money if the Executive Director finds that it would be in the best interest of the game. If a minimum POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize amount or a minimum increase is offered, the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize shares shall be determined as set out in this section.

908.15 If the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize is a guaranteed amount, the amount of the cash payment shall be determined by dividing the advertised POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize amount by an annuity factor obtained through a bid process.

908.16 If there are multiple POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize winners during a single drawing, each electing the annuitized option prize, a winner's share of the guaranteed annuitized POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize by the number of winners. If there are multiple POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize winners during a single drawing and at least one of the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize winners has elected the annuitized option prize, a bid process shall determine the cash pool needed to fund the guaranteed annuitized POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize.

908.17 If no winner of the Grand Prize during a single drawing has elected the annuitized option prize, the amount of cash in the Grand Prize pool shall be an amount equal to the guaranteed annuitized amount divided by a factor determined by quotations.

908.18 If a natural person is the winner of a POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize, prize payments remaining upon the winner's death shall be paid to the winner's estate by the same annuity or cash payment method to which the winner would have been entitled had he or she lived, except that the estate may petition for accelerated payment as provided in § 908.19.

908.19 In the event of the death, during the payment period, of a natural person who was the winner of an annuitized POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize, the Executive Director, upon the petition of the estate of the lottery winner (the "Estate") may, subject to Federal and District law, accelerate the payment of all the remaining lottery proceeds to the Estate. If the Executive Director makes a determination to accelerate payment to the Estate, securities or cash held for the deceased prize winner, which represents the present value of that portion of future payments that are accelerated, may be distributed to the Estate. The valuation of securities, the determination of the present value of accelerated lottery payment, and the determination to accelerate shall rest with the Executive Director and shall be consistent with all agreements in effect governing the conduct of the POWERBALL(R) game. This section shall not be construed to confer upon the Estate or any natural person or legal entity a right to accelerate payment, or to evaluate or identify securities which fund an annuitized prize or its acceleration.

908.20 Petitions for the acceleration of prize payments shall not be construed to be a prize claim, and there shall be no right to appeal the identification of securities or determinations of the Executive Director concerning an acceleration of the prize.

908.21 Annuitized payments of the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize or a share of the POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Funds remaining after the prize has been rounded down on a POWERBALL(R) Grand Prize win, ("breakage"), shall be added to the first cash payment to the winner or winners. Prizes which, under this chapter, may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next draw.

908.22 The holder of a winning ticket may win only one (1) prize per play in connection with the winning numbers in the highest matching prize category.

909.2 If the prize pools are not fully funded and there are not sufficient funds in the prize pool to pay Powerball Set Prizes, the prizes shall be paid pursuant to § 909.3, including payment on a pari-mutuel basis if required.

909.3 The Powerball Set Prize (for single payment prizes of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Powerball Set Prizes awarded in the current draw. If the total of the Powerball Set Prizes (as multiplied by the respective Power Play multiplier if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Powerball Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Powerball Set Prizes, including Power Play prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:

(a) The amount allocated to the Powerball Set Prizes and carried forward from previous draws, if any;

(b) An amount from the Set Prize Reserve Account, if available, not to exceed forty million dollars ($40,000.000.00) per drawing; and

(c) Other amounts as agreed to by the Product Group in their sole discretion.

909.4 If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes awarded, including Power Play prizes, then the highest Set Prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining Set Prizes awarded, then the next highest Set Prize, including Power Play prizes, shall become a pari-mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this rule shall be divided among the winning plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Powerball Set Prizes and Power Play prizes will be reduced by the same percentage.

909.5 By agreement with the Licensee Lotteries, the Licensee Lotteries shall independently calculate their Set Prize pari-mutuel prize amounts including Power Play prizes. The Party Lotteries and the Licensee Lotteries shall then agree to set the pari-mutuel prize amounts for all lotteries selling the game at the lesser of the independently-calculated prize amounts.

(a) Complete a KENO bet slip marking the KENO SPIN box on the bet slip; and

(b) Pay the total amount wagered for the KENO and KENO SPIN wager.

If the player wants to add KENO SPIN the ticket cost will double for a total cost of $12.00. The maximum KENO SPIN wager is $200.

928.5 A separate random KENO SPIN drawing will be conducted for each KENO drawing. The KENO SPIN drawing will be selected by a computer-driven random number generator.

30 DCMR § 932 CASH 4 LIFE GRAND PRIZE PAYMENT

932.1 Subject to the limitations of §§ 931.3 through 931.5, the Lifetime Grand Prize of $ 1,000 per week, or the share of such prize as determined in §§ 931.3 through 931.5, shall be paid to the owner of a ticket which matches all four (4) winning numbers in the single set of four (4) numbers at the top of the ticket and identified as the "$ 1,000 a week for life" prize group. A Lifetime Grand Prize payment shall be made as follows:

(a) Term. The Lifetime Grand Prize shall commence on the first Wednesday following the date of the win and shall be paid every Wednesday thereafter for a minimum of 10 years and for no more than the lifetime of the natural person who claims the prize and is validated as the winner of the prize. If the Executive Director has permitted an organization or one individual, acting as a single legal entity on behalf of a group, to claim a Lifetime Grand Prize, then the individual or organization claiming the prize or a share of the prize shall identify, for the purpose of determining the term of the prize, a single natural person, who is a member of the group. If the winner, or if one or more in a group of winners, is not a natural person, then the entity claiming the prize or share of the prize shall identify, for the purpose of determining the term of the prize, a single natural person who is an owner, or shareholder, partner, or beneficiary of the entity claiming the prize.

(b) Estate Claims. In the event of the death of a lottery winner during the minimum 10 year payment period, payment will continue to be made to the winner's estate or designated beneficiary until the minimum 10 year payment period is completed. Upon the petition of the estate of the lottery winner (the "Estate") to the Executive Director, and subject to all applicable tax law, the Executive Director in his sole discretion, may accelerate the payment of the remaining lottery proceeds held to make the payments for the minimum 10 year payment period to the Estate. If the Executive Director makes such a determination, then the remaining securities and/or cash held to fund the minimum 10 year payment period for the deceased lottery winner's annuitized prize may be distributed to the Estate. The identification of the securities to fund the annuitized prize shall be at the sole discretion of the Executive Director.

(c) Payment. If an individual winner's share of the Lifetime Grand Prize is less than $ 100 per week, the Executive Director, in his sole discretion, may elect to pay such winner, in lieu of weekly payments, the winner's share held in the prize pool held to fund the weekly payments. To continue receiving the weekly payment after the minimum ten (10) years, the winner of the prize must complete and execute an annual winner information form provided by the Executive Director which shall include a certification that the winner is alive. If the form is not received by the Executive Director within thirty (30) days after the anniversary date of the win, the Executive Director shall have the option to terminate payments or to suspend payments pending a determination of the winner's status.

932.2 Except for the Lifetime Grand Prize, all prizes shall be paid in a single cash payment.

932.3 All prizes shall be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.

932.4 The Executive Director may make changes in the allocation of prize money if he or she finds that it would be in the best interest of the game. Changes in the allocation of prize money shall be designed to retain approximately the same prize allocation percentages, over a year's time, set out in these rules. Minimum guaranteed prizes may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in §§ 931:3 through 931.5 becomes necessary.

932.6 The holder of a winning ticket may win only one prize per set of numbers in connection with the winning numbers drawn, and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category per set of numbers. There are fifteen (15) sets of numbers per ticket.

932.7 All Cash 4 Life prizes must be claimed within one year after the drawing date. Prize claims submitted after that time shall not be valid and will not be paid.

30 DCMR § 933 DESCRIPTION OF RACE2RICHES®

933.1 The Agency may offer a game known as RACE2RICHES® to the public. Race to Riches is an on-line keno style monitor game with set prize amounts. For each RACE2RICHES® drawing, referred to as a Race, a player must choose between seven (7) different types of wagers regarding the three (3) winning numbers drawn and the order drawn. There are twelve (12) numbers or horses in each Race. In RACE2RICHES®, horses are represented by numbers one (1) through twelve (12) in each race. Players choose the corresponding amount of numbers that match their wages. At least one (1) from a range of one (1) to twelve (12). RACE2RICHES® prizes are won based on the match between the winning numbers selected in a RACE2RICHES® drawing/race and the numbers wagered and type of wager chosen, as set out in sections 933.5 and 934 of this title.

933.2 The numbers that a player selects for each drawing/race, the RACE2RICHES® Game Play, are printed on the RACE2RICHES® Ticket along with the RACE2RICHES® Logo, the date(s) of the drawing(s) the type of bet, the number of races in which the RACE2RICHES® Ticket may be played, the identifying number for each such drawing, the price of the RACE2RICHES® Ticket, a retailer number, a serial number, and a bar code.

933.4 RACE2RICHES® drawings will occur at the following times and intervals:

A selection slip indicating a price greater than two hundred eight dollars ($ 208.00) shall be rejected automatically by the terminal.

933.9 If a player has games remaining on a RACE2RICHES® ticket at the close of daily RACE2RICHES® operations, the remaining games shall be played and drawn at the start of operations the next day.

(a) If the payment of the minimum top prizes for the WIN, SHOW, QUENELLA, and TRIFECTA is less than the one million ($1,000,000) maximum top prize pool liability, the balance of the one million ($1,000,000) maximum top prize pool liability will be paid to the WIN, SHOW, QUENELLA, and TRIFECTA wager top prize winners in proportion to the amount each winner wagered; and

(b) If payment of the minimum top prizes for the WIN, SHOW, QUENELLA, and TRIFECTA winners exceeds the one million ($1,000,000) maximum top prize pool liability limit, the winnings will be distributed equally among the top prize WIN, SHOW, QUENELLA, and TRIFECTA wager top prize winners.

934.6 The Executive Director may adopt other prize structures that shall be effective upon the issuance of instructions to the public.

30 DCMR § 940 DESCRIPTION OF THE LOTTO AMERICA( GAME

940.1 The Office may offer MUSL game known as Lotto America to the public.

940.2 Lotto America is a five (5) out of fifty-two (52) plus one number from (1) out of ten (10) numbers lottery game. Lotto America is drawn on days as determined by the Lotto America Product Group as part of the Lotto America drawing event, which pays the Grand Prize, at the election of the player made in accordance with these rules or by a default election made in accordance with these rules, either on an annuitized pari-mutuel basis or as a single lump sum payment of the total funding held in the Grand Prize Pool (“GPP”) for the winning drawing on a pari-mutuel basis. Except as provided in these rules, all other prizes are paid on a single payment basis.

940.3 Lotto America Winning Numbers applicable to determine Lotto America prizes will be determined in the Lotto America Drawing event. During the drawing event, five (5) numbers shall be drawn from the first set of fifty-two (52) numbers, and one (1) number shall be drawn from the second set of numbers one (1) through ten (10) numbers, the Star Ball, which shall constitute the Winning Numbers.

940.4 To play Lotto America, a player shall select Quick Pick or computer pick five (5) different numbers, from one (1) through fifty-two (52), and one (1) additional number from one (1) through ten (10). The additional number may be the same as one of the first five numbers selected by the player.

940.5 Lotto America can be purchased for one dollar (U.S. $1.00), shall be one (1) Play for one dollar ($1) or any other price designated by the Executive Director from a price schedule adopted by the Office pursuant to § 500.1.

940.6 Lotto America may be purchased in person at an Agent location, or on-line using the Office App, by computer or any other method approved by the Executive Director.

940.7 Drawings shall be held at the times and places established by the Lotto America Product Group, and the results shall be subsequently announced to the public. All drawings shall be open to the public and shall be witnessed by an independent certified public accounting firm.

940.8 Claims. A ticket (subject to the validation requirements set forth in this Title, Chapter 6, §§ 603 and 605) or properly registered ticketless transaction shall be the only proof of a game purchase (“Play or Plays”) and the submission of a winning ticket to the Agency or its authorized agent shall be the sole method of claiming a prize or prizes. A play slip, paper receipt, or printed summation of a Play printed by a terminal that is not a ticket has no dollar or prize value and shall not constitute evidence of a Play purchase or numbers selected.

940.9 Request for Plays. The Office may conduct future sales through a subscription or other system that does not immediately record such sales on the Central Gaming System (“CGS”). A “Request for Play” is a sale that is not immediately recorded on the CGS, but is instead recorded onto the CGS at some future time prior to a draw event. At the sole discretion of the Office, authorized sales through a subscription or other system that has not been recorded on the CGS (instead recorded as “Request for Plays”), may be cancelled at any time prior to the time the Request for Play is recorded as a Play on the CGS. If a Request for Play is cancelled, it shall not be recorded on the CGS. Once a Play is recorded on the CGS, it may not be cancelled at any time.

940.10 Returned Plays are Plays that are misprinted, illegible, printed in error, future Plays affected by changes in game features by the Agency, or due to game cancellations. Returned Plays may not be cancelled or voided. Returned Plays are not reported to MUSL. Returned Plays may not be claimed for a prize by any person or entity, including the licensed agent. Any prizes which would have been won on a Returned Play shall become an unclaimed prize at the end of the prize claim period.

940.11 Incomplete Transaction Plays. Incomplete Transaction Plays occur when a licensed agent begins a Play transaction as requested by a Player, and the Play is registered on the CGS, but the transaction is terminated prior to transferring Play confirmation to the Player, there is no attempt to print the Play on a ticket, and the Player has not paid for the Play. Transaction terminations may be due to time sensitivities, communications loss, or other issues as accepted by the Office.

The Office, at its sole discretion, may develop an approved method of managing Incomplete Transaction Plays, subject to these provisions.

Incomplete Transaction plays may not be cancelled or voided.

Incomplete Transaction Plays may not be claimed for a prize by any person or entity, including the licensed agent. Any prize which cannot be claimed as a prize under this Rule but would otherwise have been won on an Incomplete Transaction Play shall become an unclaimed prize at the end of the prize claim period of the drawing for which the Incomplete Transaction Play was recorded.

940.12 Entry of Plays. Plays may only be entered manually using the lottery terminal keypad or touch screen or by means of a Play Slip as approved by the Office. Licensed agents shall not permit the use of Play Slips that are not approved by the Office. Agents shall not permit any device to be physically or wirelessly connected to a lottery terminal to enter Plays, except as approved by the Office.

940.13 Registration of Plays. Ticketless transaction Plays may be registered by the Office at a lottery processing site that meets the requirements established by the Lotto America Product Group and the MUSL Board.

30 DCMR § 941 LOTTO AMERICA PRIZE POOL

941.1 Lotto America Prize Pool. The prize pool for all prize categories shall consist of fifty percent (50%) of each Drawing period's Lotto America sales, inclusive of any specific statutorily mandated tax of the Office to be included in the price of a Play, and including contributions to the prize pool accounts and prize reserve accounts but may be higher or lower based upon the number of winners at each prize level.

The Grand Prize Pool (“GPP”), which is used to fund the current Grand Prize;

The Set Prize Pool (“SPP”) is used to fund the Set Prizes. The SPP shall hold the temporary balances that may result from having fewer than expected winners in the Set Prize (aka low-tier prize) categories. The Source of the SPP is the Party Lottery's weekly prize contributions less actual Set Prize liability;

The prize money allocated to the Grand Prize category shall be divided equally by the number of Lotto America Plays winning the Grand Prize as described in Sections 943.1 and 943.3 of these rules.

Lotto America Game Set Prize Pool (“SPP”) Carried Forward. The SPP (for single payment prizes of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.

Lotto America Game Set Prize Pool (SPP) Carried Forward. The SPP (for single payment prizes of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.

Pari-Mutuel Lotto America Game Prize Determinations. If the total of the Lotto America Set Prizes (as multiplied by the All Star Bonus Multiplier if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Lotto America Game Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Lotto America Game Set Prizes, including All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:

The amount available in the SPP and the All Star Bonus Multiplier Prize Pool; and, if needed,

an amount from the PRA, if available, not to exceed the balance of the PRA; and, if needed,

an amount from the SAP, if available, not to exceed the balance of the pool.

If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes, including the All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, then the highest Set Prize shall become a Pari-Mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, including All Star Bonus Multiplier Prizes, when paid on a Pari-Mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining set prizes awarded, including All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, then the next highest Set Prize shall become a Pari-Mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become Pari-Mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this rule shall be divided among the winning Plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Lotto America Game and All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes will be reduced by the same percentage.

District of Columbia Municipal Regulations Lottery and Charitable Games 30 DCMR § 942

30 DCMR § 943 LOTTO AMERICA PRIZE PAYMENT

943.1 An election for an annuity payment made by a player before ticket purchase or by system default or design may be changed to a cash option payment at the election of the player until the expiration of sixty (60) days after the player becomes entitled to the prize. The election to take the cash option payment may be made at the time of the prize claim or within sixty (60) days after the player becomes entitled to the prize. An election made after the winner becomes entitled to the prize is final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn, or otherwise changed.

943.2 The annuitized option prize shall be determined by multiplying a winner's share of the Grand Prize pool by a process as approved by the MUSL Board. Neither MUSL nor the Selling Lotteries shall be responsible or liable for changes in the advertised or estimated annuity prize amount and the actual amount purchased after the prize payment method is actually known to MUSL.

943.3 In certain instances announced by the Product Group, the Grand Prize shall be a guaranteed amount and shall be determined pursuant to Section 943.14 of these rules.

943.4 If individual shares of the GPP funds held to fund an annuity is less than two-hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00), the Product Group, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the winners their share of the funds held in the GPP.

943.5 All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) payments with the initial payment being made in a single payment, to be followed by twenty-nine (29) payments funded by the annuity. Except as may be controlled by the Office’s governing statute, all annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) graduated payments (increasing each year) by a rate as determined by the Product Group. Prize payments may be rounded down to the nearest one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Annual payments after the initial payment shall be made by the lottery on the anniversary date or, if such date falls on a non-business day, then the first business day following the anniversary date of the selection of the Grand Prize Winning Numbers.

943.6 Funds for the initial payment of an annuitized prize or the lump sum cash option prize payment shall be made available by MUSL for payment by the Office no earlier than the fifteenth calendar day (or the next banking day if the fifteenth day is a holiday) following the drawing. If necessary, when the due date for the payment of a prize occurs before the receipt of funds in the prize pool trust sufficient to pay the prize, the transfer of funds for the payment of the full lump sum cash option amount may be delayed pending receipt of funds from the Selling Lotteries. A paying lottery may elect to make the initial payment from its own funds after validation, with notice to MUSL.

943.7 If a Party Lottery purchases or holds the prize payment annuity for a prize won in that jurisdiction, that Party Lottery's game rules, and any prize payment agreement with the prize winner, shall indicate that the prize winner has no recourse on the MUSL or any other Party Lottery for payment of that prize.

943.8 In the event of the death of a lottery winner during the annuity payment period, the Executive Director upon the petition of the Estate of the lottery winner (the “Estate”) may subject to Federal and District law, may accelerate the payment of all of the remaining lottery proceeds to the Estate. If the Executive Director makes a determination to accelerate the payment of all the remaining lottery payments to the Estate, securities and/or cash held to fund the deceased lottery winner's annuitized prize may be distributed to the Estate. The valuation of securities, the determination of the present value or accelerated lottery payments, and the determination to accelerate shall rest with the Executive Director and shall be consistent with all agreements in effect governing the conduct of the Lotto America game. This section shall not be construed to confer upon the Estate a right to accelerate payment, or to evaluate or identify securities which fund an annuitized prize or its acceleration.

943.9 A prize winner has no recourse on MUSL or any other Party Lottery for payment of that prize.

943.10 Lotto America Prize Payments. All prizes (whether described as "cash" payment prizes or otherwise) may be paid by cash, check, warrant, or electronic transfer.

943.11 Lotto America Prizes Rounded. Annuitized payments of the Grand Prize or a share of the Grand Prize may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized Grand Prize win shall be added to the first payment to the winner or winners.

943.12 Prizes other than the Grand Prize, which, under these rules, may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.

943.13 Lotto America Prize Rollover. If the Grand Prize is not won in a drawing, the prize money allocated for the Grand Prize shall roll over and be added to the GPP for the following drawing.

943.14 If a minimum Grand Prize amount or a minimum increase in the Grand Prize amount between drawings is offered by the Product Group, then the Grand Prize shares shall be determined as follows:

If there are multiple Grand Prize winners during a single drawing, each selecting the annuitized option prize, then a winner's share of the guaranteed annuitized Grand Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized Grand Prize by the number of winning Plays;

If there are multiple Grand Prize winners during a single drawing and at least one (1) of the Grand Prize winners has elected the annuitized option prize, then the MUSL Annuity Factor shall be utilized to determine the cash pool. The cost of the annuitized prize(s) will be determined at the time the annuity is purchased through a process approved by the MUSL Board;

If no winner of the Grand Prize during a single drawing has elected the annuitized option prize, then the amount of cash in the GPP shall be an amount equal to the guaranteed annuitized amount divided by the MUSL Annuity Factor.

Minimum guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived by the Product Group if the alternate funding mechanism set out in Section 942.2 (d) of these rules becomes necessary. Approval of the Group is required to change the guaranteed minimum Grand Prize amounts or minimum increases in the Grand Prize amount. Any reduction in the guaranteed minimum Grand Prize amount or reduction in the minimum increases to the Grand Prize amount shall not become effective until after a Grand Prize win following the action taken by the Group.

Limited to the Highest Lotto America Prize Won. The holder of a winning Lotto America Play may win only one (1) prize per Lotto America Play in connection with the Winning Numbers drawn and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category.

All liabilities for a Lotto America and All Star Bonus prize are discharged upon payment of a prize claim.

The amount available in the SPP allocated to the set prizes and the MPP, if any;

If the amount of the highest Set Prize (including the All Star Bonus Multiplier Prizes) when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize (including the All Star Bonus Multiplier Prizes) and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining Set Prizes awarded, then the next highest Set Prize (including the All Star Bonus Multiplier prize) shall become a Pari-Mutuel prize.

In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this Rule shall be divided among the winning Plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Lotto America Game and All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes will be reduced by the same percentage.

Once the prize pool accounts and the Agency’s share of the PRA exceed the designated amounts, the excess shall become part of the TP&MC Prize Pool. The Product Group, with review and comment of the MUSL Finance & Audit Committee, may establish a maximum balance for the prize pool accounts and the PRA.

The Product Group may determine to expend all or a portion of the funds in the PRA and the Set Prize Pool Account: (1) for the purpose of indemnifying the Lotteries in the payment of prizes to be made by the Lotteries, subject to the approval of the MUSL Board; and (2) for the payment of prizes or special prizes in the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ game, limited to Set Prize Pool and prize reserve contributions from Lotteries participating in the special prize promotion, subject to the review and comment of the MUSL Finance and Audit Committee. The prize reserve shares of a Lottery may be adjusted with refunds to the Lottery from the PRA as may be needed to maintain the approved maximum balance and shares of the Lotteries. As approved by the Product Group, any amount remaining in the prize pool accounts or PRA when the Product Group declares the end of the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ game shall be returned to all Lotteries participating in the accounts after the end of all applicable claim periods of all Lotteries, carried forward to the replacement PRA or expended in a manner as directed by the individual Lotteries in accordance with jurisdictional requirements.

971.3 Player Responsibility. It shall be the sole responsibility of the player to verify the accuracy of the game play or plays and other data printed on the ticket. The placing of plays is done at the player's own risk through the licensed sales agent who is acting on behalf of the player in entering the play or plays.

971.4 The prize money allocated to the Top Prize category shall be divided equally by the number of plays winning the Top Prize.

971.5 Prize Pool Account Rollovers and Carry Forwards.

Any monies not paid for Top Prize and Millionaires’ Club Prizes in the TP&MC Prize Pool following a drawing shall roll over and be added to the TP&MC Prize Pool for the following drawing.

The Set Prize Pool for prizes of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) or less shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.

971.6 Pari-Mutuel Prize Determinations

If the total of the Set Prizes awarded in a drawing (prize levels 2-10) exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Set Prizes awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order: (1) the amount allocated to the Set Prizes and carried forward from previous draws, if any; (2) an amount from the PRA, if available, not to exceed twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) per drawing.

If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes awarded, then the highest Set Prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining Set Prizes awarded, then the next highest Set Prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels.

971.7 Fund Transfer. On a weekly basis, or as otherwise determined by the Product Group, the Agency will transfer, in trust, an amount as determined by the Product Group to be the Agency’s total proportionate share of the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ license and vendor fees, which include the television game show prizes, and studio audience member travel expenses.

971.8 Unclaimed Top Prizes and Millionaires’ Club Prizes. All funds to pay a Top Prize or Millionaires’ Club Prize that had been collected by the MUSL central office and that went unclaimed shall be returned to the Lotteries in proportion to sales by the Lotteries for the prize(s) in question, after the claiming period set by the Lottery selling the winning ticket expires.

971.9 Prize Payments

Top Prizes

The Top Prize shall begin at an annuitized amount of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00) and shall increase following each consecutive drawing in which the Top Prize is not won, except that the annuitized Top Prize amount shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000.00) and will remain at this amount for each subsequent drawing until the Top Prize is won. Top Prizes shall be paid as an annuity or a single lump-sum payment. At the time of ticket purchase, a player may select the option for payment of the cash value or annuitized payments of a share of the Top Prize if the play is a winning play. If no payment option is selected by the player, the default payment option will be the cash value option. Selection of the option for payment of the cash value or annuitized payments of a share of the Top Prize if the play is a winning play is a selection made at the time of purchase and is final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn or otherwise changed.

Shares of the Top Prize shall be determined as provided in section 971.12 of this chapter. A player(s) who elects a single lump-sum payment (cash value payment) shall be paid his/her share(s) in a single cash payment. If individual shares of the cash held to fund an annuity are less than two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00), the Agency, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the holders of tickets with winning plays their share of the funds of the cash pool to fund the annuity prizes as described in section 971.12 of this chapter.

All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) payments with the initial payment being made in cash, to be followed by twenty-nine (29) payments funded by the annuity. All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) graduated payments (increasing each year) at a rate as determined by the Product Group. Prize payments may be rounded down to the nearest one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Annual payments after the initial payment shall be made by the Lottery on the anniversary date or if such date falls on a non-business day, then the first business day following the anniversary date of the selection of the Top winning numbers. Funds for the initial payment of an annuitized prize or the single lump-sum cash prize shall be made available by MUSL for payment by the Lottery no earlier than the fifteenth calendar day (or the next banking day if the fifteenth (15) day is a holiday) following the drawing. If necessary, when the due date for the payment of a prize occurs before the receipt of funds in the prize pool account sufficient to pay the prize, the transfer of funds for the payment of the full lump-sum cash amount may be delayed pending receipt of funds from all Lotteries. The identification of the securities to fund the annuitized prize shall be at the sole discretion of the Agency. If the Agency purchases the securities, or holds the prize payment annuity for a Top Prize won in this state, the prize winner will have no recourse against MUSL or any other Lottery for payment of that prize.

Payment of Prize Payments upon the Death of a Prize Winner. In the event of the death of a prize winner, payments may be made in accordance with 30 DCMR § 610.1.

971.10 Millionaires’ Club and Set Prize Payments. All Millionaires’ Club Prizes and Set Prizes (all prizes except the Top Prize, whether described as “cash” payment prizes or otherwise) for tickets sold by licensed sales agents in the District of Columbia and validated according to the Agency’s rules shall be paid by the Agency and at the discretion of the Agency by check, warrant, or wire transfer. The Agency may begin paying Millionaires’ Club Prizes and Set Prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central office.

971.11 Prizes Rounded. Annuitized payments of the Top Prize or a share of the Top Prize may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized Top Prize win shall be added to the first payment to the verified winner or winners. Set Prizes, which, under this rule, may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding Set Prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.

971.12 Funding of Guaranteed Prizes. The Product Group may offer guaranteed minimum Top Prize amounts, guaranteed minimum numbers of Millionaires’ Club winners, minimum increases in the Top Prize amount between drawings, minimum increases in the number of Millionaires’ Club winners between drawings, or make other changes in the allocation of prize money where the Product Group finds that it would be in the best interest of the game. If a minimum Top Prize amount or a minimum increase in the Top Prize between drawings is offered by the Product Group, then shares of the Top Prize shall be determined as follows: If there are multiple Top Prize winning plays during a single drawing, each selecting the annuitized option prize, then a winning play’s share of the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize by the number of winning plays. If there are multiple Top Prize winning plays during a single drawing and at least one (1) of the Top Prize claimants has elected the annuitized option prize, then the best bid submitted by the MUSL central office’s pre-approved qualified brokers shall determine the cash pool needed to fund the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize. If no claimant of the Top Prize during a single drawing has elected the annuitized option prize, then the amount of cash in the Top Prize Pool shall be an amount equal to the guaranteed annuitized amount divided by the average annuity factor of the most recent three (3) best quotes provided by pre-approved qualified brokers submitting quotes. In no case shall quotes be used which are more than two (2) weeks old, and if less than three (3) quotes are submitted, then the MUSL central office shall use the average of all quotes submitted. Changes in the allocation of prize money shall be designed to retain approximately the same prize allocation percentages, over a year's time, as set out in MUSL’s MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ Game Rules. Minimum guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in subsection 971.11 of this Chapter becomes necessary. The annuity factor is determined by the best total securities price obtained through a competitive bid of qualified, pre-approved brokers made after it is determined that the prize is to be paid as an annuity prize. Neither MUSL, the Product Group, nor the Lotteries shall be responsible or liable for changes in the advertised or estimated annuity prize amount and the actual amount purchased after the prize payment method is actually known to the MUSL central office.

971.13 Prize Limited to Highest Prize Won. Except for the Millionaires’ Club Prizes, the holder of a winning ticket may win only one (1) prize for that ticket’s play and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category. The status of a ticket with a winning play based on a match between the play and the Winning Numbers on that ticket shall have no effect on that ticket’s ability to win (if drawn) a Millionaires’ Club Prize.

971.14 Millionaires’ Club Prize. Independent of a ticket’s status as an apparent winning ticket due to a match with the Winning Numbers, each ticket in a MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ drawing is eligible to win a Millionaires’ Club Prize if (and only if), on that game draw, Millionaires’ Club Prizes are awarded. If a ticket is a winning play under both drawings, the prize paid shall be the sum of both the Top Prize or Set Prize (Level 2-10 prizes) and the Millionaires’ Club Prize. At the start of each new MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ roll cycle, ten (10) Millionaires’ Club Prizes will be available. As determined by the Product Group, more Millionaires’ Club Prizes may be added, during the roll cycle, with each drawing until the Top Prize is won and the Millionaires’ Club Prizes are drawn.

A Grand Prize payout shall be divided equally among the number of Grand Winning Tickets as set forth below.

30 DCMR § 2004 GEOLOCATION

GEOLOCATION

Players consent to the Office transmitting, collecting, maintaining, processing and using their location data to provide and improve location-based Services. Players may withdraw this consent at any time by turning off the location settings on their device or by notifying the Office in writing that they would like to withdraw such consent; however, a Player who withdraws consent to providing location data will not be able to place Wagers.

The Office’s ability to geolocate a Player, may require a high-speed internet connection ("wi-fi"). The Office is not responsible for any charges associated with a Player’s use of high-speed internet connection.

In some cases, a Player’s location may need to be verified through their browser location services. A Player’s location will only be obtained from the browser with additional consent from them. If verification through a Player’s browser is required, an interactive message will appear when they try to purchase a Wager through the Services.

Information relating to a Player’s location and the location of their device may be shared with Office contractors, sub-contractors, affiliates and other third parties for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: providing the product, service or transaction the Player requested, legal compliance purposes, and marketing purposes. A record confirming the Player’s location may be retained by the Office.

30 DCMR § 2005 WAGERS

WAGERS

The Office will only accept Wagers through the Mobile App, Site and licensed Lottery Sports Wagering retailers that are recorded on the Office’s gaming system.

Mobile and Site-based Wagers are placed through the internet connection between the Player's device and the Office’s sports wagering system.

A Wager is only considered placed when it is Confirmed by the Office.

All confirmed Wagers are final.

A Player cannot cancel or refund Wagers once they have been Confirmed by the Office.

Wagers lost in transmission will not be recorded and therefore will not be confirmed. A Player will be required to have a high-speed internet connection to place Wagers for geolocation purposes. The Office is not responsible for costs associated with use of a high-speed internet connection.

A Wager can only be placed on a given Sports Event if it is available on the Mobile App or Site and the terms for placing the Wager have not expired. The Office has the sole discretion to determine what Wagers are available at any given time on the Mobile App and Site. The Office only allows Wagers on Sport Events with a Governing Body.

Wagers are processed in the order they are received. Unless otherwise stated, all times shown on the Mobile App or Site or terminal are Eastern Time (ET). Generally, Pre-Game Wagers must be placed prior to the start time of the Sports Event. The start time for a Sports Event is the official start time declared by the competition’s Governing Body. For Sports Events in which an official start time is not declared, the advertised start time of the Sports Event is considered the start time. At the discretion of the Office, Pre-Game Wagers may be accepted after the start time of the Sports Event if the final result is not known and no team or participant has achieved a material advantage (such as, but not limited to, scoring a goal or touchdown or expulsion of a player) at the time the Pre-Game Wager is placed. Disputes regarding the time a Wager is placed are resolved by the Office.

The Office reserves the right to void any Wager at any time for any reason. If the outcome of the Sports Event is known or a material advantage has occurred, the Office reserves the right to void the Wager, regardless of its outcome. If an In-Game Wager has been placed after the outcome of the Event Wagered on is known or a team or participant has achieved a material advantage (e.g., scoring a goal or touchdown or expulsion of a player), the Office reserves the right to void the In-Game Wager, regardless of its outcome. If the Office cannot satisfactorily determine the official Sports Event results, then the Office may void and refund the Wager amount only as provided in the House Rules. A Wager is void and no Winnings will be paid if the Office determines a Player placed the Wager illegally or otherwise violated these rules.

The Wager amount is at the sole risk and discretion of the Player, except that the Office may impose minimum and maximum Wager amount limits or prize amount limits at any time. Such limits will be communicated to the Player on the Mobile App and Site. The Wager amount may not exceed the amount in the Account. When a Player places a Wager, the Wager amount is deducted from the Account and ultimately withdrawn from the Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Player may self-impose limits in accordance with the Office’s Responsible Gaming Program.

The Office determines if a Wager is a winning Wager based on the official Sports Event results. The scores and results for a game become the official Sports Event results when the Office enters the results in the Office gaming system. Before the results are declared official by the competition’s Governing Body, the Office may recognize changes to the results and resettle Wagers, but once the results are declared official, the Office will generally not recognize changes including, but not limited to, the game’s final score, or any protests, overturned decisions, or statistical changes made by the competition’s Governing Body that changes the final score or call on a particular play.

A "push" means that the official result of a Sports Event ends right on the listed point spread or finishes in a draw or tie. For such Wagers, the Winnings are equal to the original Wager amount and subject to Offsets as referenced in these rules.

Subject to 30 DCMR § 400 (Hearings), Players agree that the Office’s decision are final and binding on all matters in relation to Wagering, or the Player’s eligibility for a prize, claim or Winnings.

The Player accepts that, from time to time, errors may be involved with Wagers and a resettlement of the Wager may be required. Errors for purposes of resettlement include, operator errors, the competition’s Governing Body changes a call on a particular play or final score or a malfunction may cause Winnings to be incorrectly credited to the Player’s Account.

If, as a result of software or data feed problems, or human error, a Wager is accepted that are:

Materially different from those available in the general betting market at the time the Wager was made; or

Clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the Wager was made including, in either case, because the Wager was placed after the start of an event, because the market was not displaying or reflecting In-Game status, or because material development had been produced in the Wagered event that had not been taken into account in the offered odds, e.g., goal(s) scored, significant game time elapsed, stages/rounds played, or because of any other reason, then the Office reserves the right to either (i) correct any obvious errors by settling winning bets at the “correct price”, as reasonably determined by Office, or (ii) void any Wager placed where such errors have occurred.

If a Wager or series of Wagers is accepted that is considered to provide guarantee profit for the Player (i.e. Wagering on separate Wager types that cover the opposite probability range), then the Office reserves right to either (i) settle at the correct price, as reasonably determined by the Office, or (ii) void any such wager placed.

If there is a discrepancy between the numbers that the Player believes they entered or the graphic display of the Game and those in the Office's gaming system or any of Office's service provider's databases, the numbers in the database are considered valid.

Data which is available and displayed on site or mobile application, such as current scores, time elapsed etc., is provided from a “live feed” supplied by a third party and may be subject to time delay or be inaccurate. If Players relies on this data to place bets, Players do so entirely at their own risk and the Office accepts no responsibility for any loss (direct or indirect) suffered by the Player as a result of the Player’s reliance on it.

If it appears that a series of Wagers contain duplicative or identical selections made by, or on behalf of, the same person or group of people, or in their favor, the Office reserves the right to suspend the Players’ Accounts involved until an investigation is completed. These Wagers are ineligible for Winnings.

30 DCMR § 2008 SPORTS WAGERS AND WAGER TYPES

SPORTS WAGERS AND WAGER TYPES

The Office may offer the following Wagers and Wager types:

(a) Money Line—A Money Line or straight up wager is a bet on the outright winner of the game or event without any point spread odds;

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread”;

Total Over/Under—Total Over/Under Wagers are placed on a line set by the Office that is the total combined score at certain points during the game, including any extra time added if the score was tied at the end of regulation time. In a Total Over/Under Wager, a Player predicts the score to be lower or higher than the set line to win the Wager;

Head to Head—Head to Head Wagers are available for games or events in which a direct comparison can be made between two teams or two individual participants in a game or event;

Odd/Even-Odd/Even involves predicting whether the total points scored in a game or event will be an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for an individual team separately, or for a specified period of the game, or for any combination of team and period in which case the prediction will only involve the score in these specific periods. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number;

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”;

Single Wager—A Single Wager is the most commonly used wager type. It is a straight bet based on the outcome of an event. Winnings are calculated by multiplying the odds of the selection by the stake;

Futures/Outrights—A Future Wager is a Wager placed on a game or event typically held far in advance such as which team will win a championship or series;

Parlay Wager—Parlay Wagers combine multiple individual Wagers into one Wager on a single ticket. The total odds in a Parlay Wager are calculated by multiplying the odds of all the individual picks. A Parlay Wager does not pay out anything unless all the selections on the ticket are correct;

System Wager—System Wagers require at least three or more selections on a single ticket. The main difference between System Wagers and Parlay Wagers is that a System Wager can be won without all selections on the ticket being correct;

Banker—Bankers are available only with System Wagers. The Player will usually choose a Banker Wager to be the wager within a System Wager that they feel has the highest probability of success. A Banker Wager must be correct otherwise the entire Wager fails. The amount of the winnings on a System Wager with a Banker depends on how many of the selections are correct. If the Banker is incorrect or the System Wager criterion is not satisfied, the Player loses the Wager;

In-Game Wagering—In-Game Wagering involves placing a Wager during a game or event. Odds for In-Game Wagers change after almost every play or possession throughout the game; and

Dead Heat—Dead Heat is a situation in which two or more competitors achieve the same result. In the case of Dead Heat Wagers the stake money is proportionately divided according to the number of selections which had a Dead Heat result and are paid at full-odds. Example: A Player places a $10 wager on a Golfer to finish in the Top 5. That Golfer finishes in a tie for 5th with 5 other Golfers. The $10 wager is divided by 5 (number of Golfers involved in tie) and paid out at the price the wager was placed.

All Wagers and Wager types are subject to the following generic terms:

(a) All settlements are based on results and statistics provided by the relevant leagues or event’s Governing body;

(b) In the event there is a material change of the game format of a certain game compared to the originally planned one based on the relevant competition and stage (e.g., a best-of-5 tennis game finally played as best-of-3, a soccer game played in 3 periods of 30 mins, a 4 quarter basketball game played in two halves, etc.), then the Office reserves the right to void all wagers for that game.

In the event of an early start to a game which is not offered as in-game, then all selections on that game from Wagers received after actual start time will be settled as void.

30 DCMR § 2009 FOOTBALL

FOOTBALL

Overtime is taken into account for football Wagers except for the following Wager types: Final Result in the form of Home/Tie/Away or 1X2; Half Time/Full Time (Home/Tie/Away or 1X2); and, those Wagers that have to do with second (2nd) half or fourth (4th) quarter in which the score of the specific time period of the game is taken into account. In the instance where the game is suspended before the completion of regulation time, but with five (5.00) or less minutes remaining on the clock (based on the individual rules per competition) and the game is not continued within the next twenty-four (24) hours, then all Wagers take into account the result at the time of suspension.

The Office may offer the following football Wager types:

Money Line—In a “Money Line” Wager, the Player predicts the outright winner of the game (either for the home team or away team to win). There is no Point Spread involved in a Money Line Wager. In the event of a tie, the stake will be returned to the Player.

In a 3way “Money Line” Wager the Player has three options, to predict either the home team to win, the away team to win, or for the game to end in a tie (not taking into account any overtime played).

In a 3way Money Line “1st Half Winner” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the 1st half of a game by correctly selecting either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the first (1st) half to end in a tie.

In a 3way Money Line “2nd Half Winner” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the 2nd half of a game by selecting either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the 2nd half to end in a tie, taking into account only the points scored in the 2nd half. In a 3way Money Line “2nd Half Winner, including Overtime,” the Player predicts the result of the 2nd half of a game (home team to win, away team to win, or tie), taking into account the points scored in the 2nd half, including overtime played.

In a 3way Money Line “Quarter Winner” Wager, the Player predicts the result of each quarter of a game by selecting either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the quarter to end in a tie, taking into account only the points scored in the quarter wagered on.

In a 3way Money Line “4th Quarter Winner, Including Overtime” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the 4th quarter of a game by selecting either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the quarter to end in a tie, taking into account only the points scored in the 4th quarter, including overtime played.

In a “Half Time/Full Time” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the 1st half in combination with the final result of the 2nd half, not taking overtime into account. To make a “Half Time/Full Time” Wager, the Player selects either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the 1st half to end in a tie and does the same (home team to win, away team to win, or tie) for the 2nd half result.

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread.”

In a “Final Result with Point Spread” Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a game by selecting either for the home team to win, or for the away team to win, taking into account the Point Spread offered to one of the two teams (which can be a whole number or not). The Point Spread is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the Point Spread is a not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome (no tie). This Wager can be offered for one half (“1st Half with Point Spread”; “2nd Half with Point Spread”; and, “2nd Half with Point Spread, Including Overtime”), or quarter (“1st Quarter with Point Spread”; “2nd Quarter with Point Spread”; “3rd Quarter with Point Spread”; “4th Quarter with Point Spread”; and, “4th Quarter with Point Spread, Including Overtime”) or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

In a “Spread Winning Margin” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of points scored in a game is within a range of points publicized. This Wager can be offered for only one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half) or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

Total Over/Under—In a “Total Over/Under” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of points scored in a specific time period, or time of a game, is greater or less than a range publicized. This Wager can be offered for only one team (home or away) or both teams (home and away), or for one half of the game (1st half or 2nd half or 2nd half, including overtime), or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

Odd/Even—In an “Odd/Even” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total points scored in a regulation game will be an odd or even number. This Wager can also be offered as regulation time, including overtime. This Wager can be offered for only one half (1st half, 2nd half, or 2nd half, including overtime), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”

In a “Highest Scoring Half/Quarter” Wager, the Player predicts in which half (1st half or 2nd half) or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter) the most points will be scored. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately.

In a “1st Team to Score” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will score the first point(s) in a game. This Wager can be offered per half (1st half or 2nd half) or per quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter) in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this time period or the specified time period of the game.

In a “1st Scoring Play” Wager, the Player predicts the manner in which the first point(s) of the game will be scored. This Wager can be offered for only one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half) or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

In a “1st Touchdown” Wager, the Player predicts if and which team (home or away) will succeed in scoring the first touchdown in a game. This Wager can be offered for only one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

In an “Overtime Yes/No” Wager, the Player predicts whether or not overtime will be played in a game.

In a “Coin Toss” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will win the customary pre-game coin toss (heads or tails) that determines the team to start the game in possession of the ball.

In a “Race To” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be first to score a specified number of points (e.g., “Race to 20 Points” – which team will be first to score twenty (20) points). This Wager can be offered for only one half (1st half or 2nd half) or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

In a “Player Specials” Wager, the Player predicts if selected players/athletes on the active roster of a team will achieve specific results in specified statistical categories in the form of: A greater or lesser result within a specified limit; or within a specified range; or which player/athlete will achieve the highest statistical result (e.g. pass for the most yards) amongst all or some specifically named players/athletes; or as a “Yes/No” option or as single “Yes” option. For all “Player Specials,” Wagers placed on players/athletes that were not on the active roster will be refunded. Wagers on players/athletes that were on the active roster but were not used (did not play in the game), are considered as non-winning Wagers.

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread.”

In a “Final Result with Point Spread, Including Overtime” Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a game, including overtime played, by selecting either for the home team to win or for the away team to win, taking into account the Point Spread offered to one of the two teams (which can be a whole number or not). This Point Spread is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the Point Spread is a non-whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome (no tie). This Wager can be offered for either half (1st half or 2nd half) or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game and may also include overtime in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

In a “1st Team to Score” Wager, the Player predicts which team will score the first point(s) in a game. This Wager can be offered for only one team (home or away), or either half (1st half or 2nd half), or quarter (1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, or 4th quarter), or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves the points scored for this specific time period of the game.

30 DCMR § 2011 BASEBALL

BASEBALL

The name of the starting pitcher has no relevance on how Wagers are settled.

If a baseball game is postponed and not played on the same day of its original schedule in local time, then all selections on this game will be voided. If this game is scheduled for a later day, a different event will be offered for wagering purposes.

For all Baseball Wagers, the complete game is taken into account as well any additional extra innings that may need to be played to determine a game winner. When a Baseball game is suspended and not continued from the moment of suspension and completed within the next calendar day, then the final result will be considered the result at the time of suspension when the game is concluded at the bottom of the ninth (9th) inning (8.5 innings played) with the home team ahead in runs or when the “Mercy Rule” is applied and the game is suspended before completion. (The “Mercy Rule” refers to one team having a very large and presumably insurmountable lead over the other team.)

In the event of a shortened baseball game where the official league’s governing body considers the game as officially completed then all the Wager types will be settled as void, except Wagers where the outcome has already been determined and the Money line wagers which will be settled in accordance with the official published result.

The Office may offer the following Baseball Wager types:

In a “Money Line” Wager, the Player predicts the outright winner of the game (either for the home team or away team to win). There is no Point Spread involved in a Money Line Wager. In the event of a tie, the stake will be returned to the Player.

(1) In a 3way “Money Line Excluding Extra Innings” Wager, the Player predicts the final outcome of a game after the game is concluded at the bottom of the ninth (9th)inning (8.5 innings played with the home team ahead in runs) by selecting either for the home team to win, for the away team to win, or for the game to end in a tie. This Wager type does not take into account any extra innings played.

(2) In an “Innings Betting” Wager, the Player predicts the result of an inning (1st inning, 2nd inning, 3rd inning, 4th inning, etc.) of a game (Home, Tie, Away).

(3) In a “Half Time/Full Time” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the 1st half of a game (defined as the first 4.5 innings) in combination with the final result of the game by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win or a tie for each specific time period of the Wager.

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread”;

(1) In a “Final Result with Run Spread” Wager, the Player predicts the game’s final outcome (Home, Tie, Away), including any extra innings played, taking into account a Handicap given to one of the two teams. The Handicap can be a whole number or not. If it is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager type can be offered for one inning of a game or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve these specific periods.

(2) In a “Spread Winning Margin” Wager, the Player predicts the difference in runs of the winning team in a game. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately or per inning (1st inning, 2nd inning, 3rd inning, 4th inning, etc.) or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve the runs scored in these specific time periods.

Total Over/Under Runs/Hits—In a “Total Over/Under Runs/Hits” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of runs or hits scored in a game will be greater or less than a limit publicized. This Wager can be offered in the form of a “Yes/No” proposition, or for each team (home and away) separately, or per inning (1st inning, 2nd inning, 3rd inning, 4th inning, etc.), or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction will only involve the runs scored in these specific time periods.

Odd/Even Runs/Hits—In an “Odd/Even Runs/Hits” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total runs or hits scored in a game will be an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or per inning (1st inning, 2nd inning, 3rd inning, 4th inning, etc.), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number runs that were scored during the specified time period of the game. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”

(1) In a “Total Runs/Hits” Wager, the Player predicts the exact number of runs or hits scored in a game or the range they will be in. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or per inning (1st inning, 2nd inning, 3rd inning, 4th inning, etc.), or for a specified period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction will only involve the runs scored in these specific time periods.

(2) In a “Most Hits 1st/Next Innings” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be credited with the most hits in the 1st inning and every subsequent inning.

(3) In a “Race To” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be the first to score a specified number of runs (e.g., “Race to 3 Runs” –which team will be first score three runs). This Wager can be offered for a specified period of the game or any combination of team and period in which case the prediction will only involve the runs scored in these specific periods.

In a “Lead After” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be in the lead after a set number of innings (e.g., “Lead After 5 Innings” – which team will be in the lead after five innings).

In an “Extra Innings” Wager, the Player predicts whether extra innings will be needed to determine the winner of a game.

In a “Player Specials” Wager, the Player predicts if selected players/athletes on the active roster of a team will produce specific results in specified statistical categories or will achieve specific accomplishments in the form of: a greater or lesser result within a specified value; or within a specified range; or which player/athletes will achieve the highest statistical result (e.g., score the most points); or with a “Yes/No” option; or a single “Yes” option – among all or some specifically named players/athletes. For all Player Specials, Wagers placed on players/athletes that were not on the active roster will be refunded. Wagers on players/athletes that were on the active roster but were not used (did not play in the game), are considered non-winning Wagers.

30 DCMR § 2012 ICE HOCKEY

ICE HOCKEY

For ice hockey, only regulation time (1st three (3) periods) play is taken into account for Wagers. Overtime periods played, or any other method used for determining the winner of the game, are not taken into account for ice hockey Wagers, unless stated or in the Wager type’s description.

The Office offer the following ice hockey Wager types:

In a “Money Line, Including Overtime” Wager, the Player predicts the outright winner of the game, including any overtime and shootout periods. In a “Money Line” Wager, the Player selects either for the home team to win or away for the away team to win.

In a 3way “Money Line” Wager, the Player predicts the winner of the game at the end of regulation play by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win, or at the end of the 1st three (3) periods to end in a tie. A 3way “Money Line” does not take into account any overtime played.

In a 3way “Period” Wager, the Player predicts the result of one period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves the goals scored for this specific time period of the game.

In a “Period Tie No Wager” Wager, the Player predicts the final result of the period without factoring in a result. In cases where the final result of the period is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded.

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread.” Puck Lines are a Point Spread Wagering variant of ice hockey Wagering.

In a 3way “Puck Line/Goal Spread” Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a game, taking into account the Spread offered to one of the two teams. The Point/Goal Spread can be a whole number or not. If it is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager type can be offered for one period of a game (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve this specific period of the game. This Wager can also be offered to include any overtime played in which case a tie result is not possible.

In a “Spread Winning Margin” wager, the Player predicts the margin of victory of one team (home or away) by the exact number of goals. This Wager can be offered for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific time periods.

In a “Total Over/Under” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of goals scored in a game will be greater or less than a limit of goals publicized by the Office. This Wager can be offered for an individual team (home and away) separately, or for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game, or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and period in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific periods. This Wager can also be offered to include any overtime played.

In an “Odd/Even “Wager, the Player predicts whether the total goals scored in a game will be an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for an individual team (home and away) separately or for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game, or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific time periods. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”

In a “Total Goals” Wager, the Player predicts the exact number of goals that will be scored in a game. This Wager can be offered for an individual team (home and away) separately, or for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game, or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific time periods.

In a “Highest Scoring Period” Wager, the Player predicts the period in which most goals will be scored in a game. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately.

In a “Correct Score” Wager, the Player predicts the correct number of goals scored in a game. This Wager can be offered for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific time periods.

In a “Both Teams to Score” Wager, the Player predicts if both teams (home and away) will score at least one goal during a game (this will be called “Goal”) or if any one of the two teams (home or away) or both teams will not score during a game (this will be called “No Goal”). This Wager can be offered for each period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game separately or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Team to Score 1st/Next/Last Goal” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will score the first goal, every subsequent (Next) goal, or the final goal (Last Goal) of a game. This Wager can be offered for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Race To” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be the first to score a specified number of goals (e.g., “Race to 3 Goals” – which team will first score three goals) in a game. This Wager can be offered for a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) of a game or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve the goals scored in these specific time periods.

In a “Winner of the Rest of the Game” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the game from the moment of placing the Wager through the end of the game.

In a “Player Specials” Wager, the Player predicts if selected players/athletes on the active roster of a team will produce specific results in specified statistical categories or will achieve specific accomplishments in the form of: a greater or lesser result within a specified value; or within a specified range; or which player/athletes will achieve the highest statistical result (e.g., score the most goals); or with a “Yes/No” option; or a single “Yes” option – among all or some specifically named players/athletes. For all Player Specials, Wagers placed on players/athletes that were not on the active roster will be refunded. Wagers on players/athletes that were on the active roster but were not used (did not play in the game), are considered non-winning Wagers.

In a “Game Combo” Wager, the Player predicts any combination of Money Line or Total Over/Under.

In a 2way “Game Combo Total Over/Under” Wager, the Player predicts any double combination of Money Line and Total Over/Under. Any of the above combinations or legs of the combination can refer to a specific period (1st period, 2nd period, or 3rd period) or for a specified time period of the game in which case the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.

In a 3way “Game Combo Total Over/Under” Wager, the Player predicts any double combination of home team win, tie, or away team win and Total Over/Under. The above combinations are “Under and Home Team Win,” “Under and Away Team Win,” “Under and Tie Result,” “Over and Home Team Win,” “Over and Away Team Win,” and “Over and Tie Result.”

30 DCMR § 2013 SOCCER

SOCCER

For soccer Wagers, the result of regulation time is taken into account plus time added to the game in respective of possible delays. Extra time and penalties are not taken into account for soccer Wagers, unless stated in the program or in the Wager type’s description.

The Office may offer the following soccer Wagers:

Money Line—A “Money Line” or straight up Wager is a bet on the outright winner of the game or event without any Point Spread odds.

In a 3way “Money Line” Wager, the Player predicts the final outcome of a game by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win, or a tie at the end of the game (not taking into account any overtime played). An exception to the general provisions rules is when a game is suspended after the start of the 2nd half and the remaining game is not played within the next twenty-four (24) hours, then the result at the time of suspension is considered as the final result.

In a 3way “1st Half Winner” and 3way “2nd Half Winner” Wager(s), the Player predicts the result of the 1st half or 2nd half of a game by correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win or a tie at the end of the specified half.

In a “Winner Interval” Wager, the Player predicts the result of a specified period (home/tie/away) of a game (e.g., 1-15 minute(s) of the game).

In a “Winner of the Rest of the Match” Wager, the Player predicts the result of the game (home/tie/away) from the moment a Wager is placed until the end the game. This Wager can also be offered per half (1st half or 2nd half), or any other specified time period where the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.

In a “Half Time/Full Time” Wager, the Player predicts the combination of the result of the 1st half with the final result of a game.

In a “Home No Wager” Wager, the Player predicts the game’s final result without factoring in a “home win.” The Wager will be refunded if the home team wins. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Tie No Wager” Wager, the Player predicts the game’s final result without factoring in a tie. The Wager will be refunded is the game’s final result is a tie. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In an “Away No Wager” Wager, the Player predicts the game’s final result without factoring in an away win. The Wager will be refunded if the away team wins. In cases where the final result of a game is the one that is not factored into the Wager, then all Wagers will be refunded. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

Point Spread/Handicap—A Point Spread Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread.”

In a “Final Result with Points Spread/Handicap” Wager, the Player predicts the final outcome of a game, taking into account a Point Spread/Handicap given to one of the two teams, correctly selecting home team to win, away team to win, or a tie at the end of the game (not taking into account any overtime played). The Point Spread/Handicap can be a whole number or not. This Point Spread/Handicap is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the Point Spread/Handicap is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager type can be offered for one half of a game (1st half or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the match in which case the prediction will only involve this specific time period.

“Asian Handicap” are types of Wagers used in soccer in which teams are Handicapped, so that the stronger team must win by more goals than the weaker team. Asian Handicap involves the Player predicting the result of a match after the Handicap or spread has been applied to the teams.

A head-start of one half or more goals will be given to one of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored.

Whole goal Handicap is a Handicap of +/- one or more goals will be given to each of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored. Wagers placed will be void if the match ends in a tie.

Half goal Handicap is a Handicap of +/- 0.5 (half of one) or more goals will be given to each of the teams which will be added to the actual number of goals scored. Wagers placed cannot end in a tie.

Split Handicap is a Handicap of +/- 0.25 (quarter of one) or more goals will be given to each of the teams. The Wager will be divided equally between two Wagers, with one half of the Wager placed on the whole Handicap +/- 0.0 (scratch) or more and the other half of the Wager placed on the half Handicap 0.5 (half of one) or more, which will be added or subtracted to the actual number of goals scored by each team. The split Handicap is always the half-way point between the whole Handicap and the half Handicap.

The split is shown as follows (Handicaps can go as high as the operator desires under similar logic):

Handicap

Whole Goal Handicap

Half Goal Handicap

+/- 0.25

+/- 0.00

+/- 0.50

+/- 0.75

+/- 1.00

+/- 0.50

+/- 1.25

+/- 1.00

+/- 1.50

EXAMPLE: Team A (+ 0.25) vs. Team B (- 0.25)

If a Wager is placed on Team B and the game result is Team A 1-1 Team B:

50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of 0.00. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-1 Team B. This half of the Wager is void.

50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of - 0.50. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-½ Team B. This half of the Wager has lost.

If a Wager is placed on Team A and the game result is Team A 1-1 Team B:

50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of 0.00. The Handicap result will be Team A 1-1 Team B. This half of the Wager is void.

50% of the Wager will be placed on the whole goal Handicap of + 0.50. The Handicap result will be Team A 1½-1 Team B. This half of the Wager has won.

In a “Total Over/Under Goals” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of goals scored in a game will be greater or less than a limit of goals publicized. This Wager can be offered for an individual team (home and away) separately or for a specific half (1st half or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and interval in which case the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.

In an “Exact Number of Goals” Wager, the Player predicts the exact number of goals that will be scored in a game. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number of goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Total Goals Aggregated” Wager, the Player predicts the number of goals that will be scored in a game where their selected number of goals will be within a specified range. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately, or for each half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number of goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In an “Odd/Even” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total goals scored in a game will be an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for each team (home and away) separately or for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified period of the game. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”

In “Scorer” Proposition Wagers the following rules apply:

If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score the 1st goal of a game and the selected player/athlete did not take part in the game or entered the game after the first goal was scored, the Wager is refunded.

If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score the last goal of the game and the selected player/athlete did not take part in the game or had been substituted before the last goal was scored, the Wager is refunded.

If a Wager is placed on which player/athlete will score any goal in the game and the player/athlete did not take part in the game, the Wager is refunded.

A Wagering line can include only one prediction for the Wager type “Any Goal Scorer.”

If a goal scored is an “Own Goal” (a player/athlete scores on their own side of the playing area rather than the one defended by the opposing team), then this is not taken into account unless there are odds offered for “Own Goal.”

The following “Scorer” Proposition Wager Types may be offered:

In a “1st Goal Scorer” Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score the first goal of the game.

In a “Last Goal Scorer” Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score the last/final goal of the game.

In an “Anytime Goal Scorer” Wager, the Player predicts which player/athlete will score at least one goal in the game.

In a “Total Over/Under Corners” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total amount of corners awarded during a game is greater or less than a limit publicized or predicts whether there will there be a corner awarded in the form of “Yes/No.” This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.

In an “Odd/Even Corners” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total number of corners awarded is an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.

In a “Sum of Corners” Wager, the Player predicts the total numbers of corners that will be awarded where the choice will be given as an exact number of corners or in a specified range of corners. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.

In a “1st/Next/Last Corner” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be awarded the 1st corner, every subsequent (Next) corner or the final (Last Corner) corner of a game. This Wager can be offered for one half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game in which case the prediction involves only the corners awarded for this specific time period of the game.

In a “Most Corners” Wager, the Player predicts which team will be awarded the most corners in a game. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and period in which case the prediction involves only the number of corners awarded for this specific time period of the game. This Wager can be offered with a Handicap of corners awarded to one team. The Handicap can be a whole number or not which is taken into account when considering the winning outcome. If the Handicap is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome.

In a “Corner Handicap” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be awarded the most corners in a game, taking into account a Handicap for one of the two teams. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) separately, or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of corners awarded for this specific time period of the game. This Wager can be offered with a Handicap of corners awarded to one team. The Handicap can be a whole number or not which is taken into account when considering the winning outcome.

The following “Bookings” Proposition Wager rules apply:

There are certain cards that are not taken into account for Wager purposes, including: Cards shown following the end of the game, or during the interval between 1st and 2nd half, or to members of the team that are not players/athletes (e.g., managers, coaches, etc.), or to players/athletes that did not take part in the game, or to players/athletes that had already been substituted when the card was shown to them.

In the instance where a player is shown a second yellow card in a game and then shown a red one, both yellow cards and the one red card are taken into account.

In the instance where the referee shows two or more yellow or red cards during the same incident of the game, the order with which the referee showed the cards to the player(s) is taken into account. If this cannot be verified by any reliable means, then the cards are considered to have been shown simultaneously.

The Office may offer the following “Bookings” Proposition Wager Types.

The following Wager types for cards may be offered for both color (yellow or red) of cards (Bookings).

In a “Total Over/Under Bookings” Wager, the Player predicts if the total cards shown in a game are greater or less than a limit publicized or predicts whether there will there be a card shown in the form of “Yes/No.” This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of cards shown for this specific time period of the game.

In an “Odd/Even Bookings” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of cards shown in a game is an odd or an even number. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of cards shown for this specific time period of the game. In all circumstances, zero (0) is considered to be an even number.

In a “1st/Next/Last Booking” Wager, the Player predicts which team will be the 1st to be shown a card, every subsequent (Next) team to be shown a card, or the final (Last) team to be shown a card in a game. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of cards shown for this specific time period of the game.

In a “Most Bookings” Wager, the Player predicts which team will be shown the most cards in a game. This Wager can be offered for one team (home or away), or one half (1st half or 2nd half), or for any specified time period of the game, or any combination of team and time period in which case the prediction involves only the number of cards shown for this specific time period of the game.

The Office may offer the following other Proposition Wagers:

In a “Half with Most Goals” Wager, the Player predicts which half of a game (1st half or 2nd half) that the most goals will be scored in.

In a “Correct Score” Wager, the Player predicts the number of goals scored in a game. This Wager can be offered separately for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or interval which means that only the score of the half (or interval) is taken into account. This Wager can also be offered with selections of groups of scores (e.g., 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 combined).

In a “Both Teams to Score” Wager, the Player predicts if both teams will score at least one goal during a game (called “Goal”) or if any one of the two teams (home or away), or both teams, will not score during a game (called “No Goal”). This Wager can be offered for each half separately (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game. This Wager can also be offered as a combination of the two halves, with the Player having to predict whether both teams will score during the 1st half combined with whether both teams will score in the 2nd half.

In a “Team to Score 1st/Next/Last Goal” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home of away) will score the first, every subsequent (Next) goal or the final (Last Goal) goal of a game. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Score Both Halves Home/Away” Wager, the Player predicts whether one of the two teams (home or away) will score at least one goal in both halves (1st half and 2nd half) of the game.

In a “Win Both Halves Home/Away” Wager, the Player predicts whether the team selected (home or away) will score more goals than its opponent in both halves (1st half and 2nd half) separately.

In a “Winner 1st Half or Full Time” Wager, the Player predicts whether the team selected (home or away) will score more goals than their opponent in either the 1st half or the match.

In a “Winner 1st Half or 2nd Half” Wager, the Player predicts whether the team selected (home or away) will score more goals than its opponent during the 1st half of the game or in the 2nd half of the game.

In a “Home Win to Zero, Away Win to Zero” Wager, the Player predicts whether the selected team (home or away) will win the game with a clean sheet (without conceding any goals to its opponent).

In a “Margin of Victory” Wager, the Player predicts the margin of victory of one team (home or away) by the exact number or ranges of goals. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Race To” Wager, the Player predicts which team (home or away) will be the first to score a specified number of goals (e.g., “Race to 2 Goals “– which team will be the first to score two (2) goals) in a game. This Wager can be offered for each half (1st half or 2nd half) or for any specified time period of the game. In the latter case, the prediction involves only the number goals that were scored during the specified time period of the game.

In a “Time of 1st Next/Last Goal” Wager, the Player predicts the time, in minutes, when the 1st goal, every subsequent (Next) goal or final (Last Goal) goal of the game will be scored. This can be a range in minutes (e.g., 1-10’, 11-20’, etc.) or take the form of “before or after” or “Total Over/Under” a specific minute (e.g., 1-30’, after the 31st minute, etc.). For Wager settling purposes, the time of the goal is considered the time that it was scored and not the time it was confirmed as a valid goal. For example, if goal is scored at 28:36 and after an original referee call that disallows it, a VAR (Virtual Assistant Referee) is used and the goal is then deemed valid at 30:45, the goal time will count at 28:36.

In a “Game Combo” Wager, the Player predicts any double combination of Final Result or double chance with Total Over/Under of a specified limit, or Both Teams to Score, or Sum of Goals, or any double combination of Total Over/Under of a specified limit and Both Teams to Score, or any double combination of Final Result and 1st/Next/Last Goal team to score by choosing the combination of the respective selections or any combination of Half-Time/Full-Time result and Total Over/Under of a specified limit. Any of the above combinations, or legs of the combination, can refer to a specific half (1st half or 2nd half) or for a specified time period of the game, in which case the prediction will only involve these specific time periods.

In the instance where a tennis match is cancelled, or postponed, or suspended and is not completed within the competition’s time frame it was scheduled for, then all Wagers that involve this match are refunded. An exception to this rule is for Wagers whose results have already been decided and cannot change even if the match was played on. In the event where less sets are played than were originally scheduled, then all Wagers that include this match will be refunded.

In a “Set Winner” Wager, the Player predicts the final result of a specific set of a tennis match (1st set 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.) by correctly selecting tennis player (or team) A to win or tennis player (or team) B to win.

In a “To Win a Set” Wager, the Player predicts whether a tennis player (player A or player B) will win at least one set in a match.

In a “1st/2nd Service Game” Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player will serve in the first or the second game in combination with the winner of this game (e.g., in the 1st Game tennis player A to Serve and tennis player B to Win the game).

In a “1st Next Game” Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the first (1st) game or every subsequent (Next) game in a tennis match. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), or for a specified period of the match, in which case the prediction involves only the games in that segment of the match.

Point Spread/Handicap—A “Point Spread” Wager is when a plus or minus Handicap (line) is assigned to either team and then it is added or subtracted to each final score to determine the winner. The Point Spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to “cover the spread.”

In a “Winner Most Games with a Spread” Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the most games in a match, taking into account a spread in games given to one of the two (2) players/athletes. The spread can be a whole number or not. This spread is taken into account when determining a winning prediction. If the spread is not a whole number, then a tie cannot be a resulting outcome. This Wager can be offered per specified set (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.

In a “Set Spread” Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will win the most sets in a match taking into account a spread in sets given to one of the two (2) Players.

In a “Total Games” Wager, the Player predicts the total number of games that will be played where the selection made will be within a specific range of games as publicized by the Office. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.

In a “Total Tie Breaks” Wager, the Player predicts the total number of tie breaks that will be played in a match, either predicting from a specified range or in the form of a “Yes/No” proposition. This Wager can be offered for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match. In the event where a match or a set is suspended with a score of 6-6 (when the set will be decided by a tie breaker), for Wager settlement purposes a tie break is assumed to have been played. In the event where a match is suspended during the last set where based on tournament rules, a tie breaker is not played (e.g., the last set of a men’s single finals), for Wager settlement purposes a tie break is assumed not to have been played.

Odd/Even—In an “Odd/Even” Wager, the Player predicts whether the total number of games that will be played is an odd or even number. This Wager can be offered for each tennis player (player A or player B) separately, or for a specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), or any combination of player and set in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.

Proposition “Prop” Wagers—Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as “Team Props,” “Player Props” and “Special Props.”

In a “Correct Score” Wager, the Player predicts the correct score in sets of a tennis match.

In a “Set Correct Score” Wager, the Player predicts the exact score in games of a specific set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.) of a tennis match. This Wager may be offered for parts of a set (e.g., first 4 games, first 6 games, etc.), in which case only the score after those games will count. This Wager could also be offered as a “Yes/No” or single “Yes” option for one or more of its selections (e.g., “Any Set to End 6-0” or “player A to Win 6-0 or 6-1 or 6-2,” etc.).

In a “Race To” Wager, the Player predicts which tennis player (player A or player B) will be the first to win a predefined number of games (e.g., “Race to 3 Games”– which tennis player will first win 3 games). This Wager can be offered per specified set (1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, etc.), in which case the prediction involves only the games that will be played in that segment of the match.

In a “1st/Next Game Correct Score” Wager, the Player predicts the correct score of the first (1st) game or every subsequent (Next) game in a match. This Wager type may be offered with a “Yes/No” option, or “Per Player” option, or single “Yes” option for specific Correct Scores (e.g., “Which Player Will Win Game 4 of 1st Set After Deuce” or “Will Any Player Win Game 4 of 1st Set After Deuce”).

This Wager can also be offered as a combination of Fighter and Round Wagering (e.g., “Fighter A to Win Within Rounds 4-6”). The bell will signal the end of a round and the bell being sounded again will signal the start of the next round. In the event where, for whatever reason, a points decision is awarded before the full number of rounds is completed, Wager settlements will be determined on the round in which the fight was stopped. Wagers placed on the prediction “To Win on Points” will be considered as winning if the full number of rounds is completed. In the event where, for whatever reason, it is decided that the fight is completed in a total number of rounds differently than initially offered, then all Wagers received for this type of Wager will be given odds of one (1.00). If a fighter withdraws during the period between rounds, the fight will be considered ended in the previous round.

Total Over/Under—In a “Total Over/Under” Wager, the Player predicts if the total number of rounds in a fight will be greater or less than a limit of rounds as publicized by the Office.

Any changes after the initially publicized announcement of results are not taken into account. All Wagers on drivers in a pole position or in a Grand Prix race receive refunds if the driver is not listed in the official results as publicized by the competition’s Governing Body.

For “Head to Head” and “Group Wagering,” all Wagers receive refunds, if even one driver offered is not included in the officially publicized results of the competition’s Governing Body.

In a “Win Race” Wager, the Player predicts which driver will win the race.

In a “Place Race” Wager, the Player predicts if a driver will finish in a certain position or higher in a race independent of order. This Wager can be offered for whichever range of places (e.g., place 1-5— if a driver will finish from the first to the fifth (5th) position in a race).

Total Over/Under—Total Over/Under Wagers are placed on a line set by the Office that is the total combined score at certain points during the game, including any extra time added if the score was tied at the end of regulation time.

In a “To Qualify Head to Head” Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a qualifying race. In the instance where one of the two drivers does not qualify, that driver will be considered having lost. If neither of the two drivers qualify, then the winner will be considered the one who has achieved the highest qualifying position.

In a “Pole Position Head to Head” Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a pole position race. In the instance where one of the two drivers does not classify based on their time, that driver will be considered having lost. If neither of the two drivers classify, then Wagers received on these two drivers are refunded by receiving odds of one (1.00).

In a “Race Head to Head” Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a race. In the instance where one of the two drivers do not classify, that driver will be considered having lost.

In a “To Classify/Not to Classify” Wager, the Player predicts if a driver classifies during a race.

In a “Race Group Betting” Wager, the Player predicts which of the offered drivers will finish in a better position during a race. In the instance where one or more drivers do not classify, each driver will be considered having lost. If none of the offered drivers classify, then the winner of this Wager will be considered the driver who has completed more rounds. This is independent of the distance that each one has driven, the time that each one withdrew and/or the position that each one occupied at the time of withdrawal. If none of the offered drivers classify and they have all completed the same number of rounds, then Wagers received on all these drivers are refunded by receiving odds of one (1.00).

Except where part of the competition has already been determined and the wager has been settled, Wagers received for team, player/athlete, driver, or any type of participant that is disqualified or has withdrawn from the competition are considered non-winning Wagers.

Wagers placed on a team, player/athlete, driver, or any type of participant that, for whatever reason, did not take part in the competition are refunded.

For any player/athlete-related Wagers, any athletes that were part of the official roster for at least one game or any other actual part of the competition are considered to have taken part in the competition, regardless of their actual participation in a game.

2402.1 The contracting officer may award a contract using noncompetitive negotiation procedures upon making a determination that there is only one (1) available source for the required item.

2402.2 When determining whether there is only one (1) available source for a requirement, the contracting officer shall consider whether there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Agency's minimum needs can only be satisfied by the supplies or services proposed to be procured, and whether the proposed sole source contractor is the only source capable of providing the required supplies or services.

2402.3 If the reason for making a procurement on a ole source basis is based on the particular source's ownership or control of limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or trade secrets applicable to the required supplies or services, the written D&F shall clearly demonstrate the need for the specific supplies or services and that at least one (1) of the following factors applies:

2403.4 Before attempting to negotiate a contract with the single sheltered market vendor under § 2403.2, the contracting officer, using the methods and standards set forth in Chapter 23 of this title, shall establish a pre-negotiation position based on a reasonable price and other terms under which the contract might be let in the open market.
