SECTION 2. Tickets in scratch-off game number 183 shall sell for two dollars ($2) per ticket.
SECTION 3. Each ticket in scratch-off game number 183 includes eight (8) separate and independent game areas labeled "ROW 1", "ROW 2", "ROW 3", "ROW 4", "ROW 5", "ROW 6", "ROW 7", and "ROW 8". Each game area is played separately and the play symbols in one (1) game area cannot be used as play symbols in another game area.
SECTION 4. (a) Each ticket in scratch-off game number 183 shall contain a total of fifty-five (55) play symbols with six (6) play symbols located in the area label "WINNING POWERBALL NUMBERS", six (6) play symbols located in each game area and one (1) play symbol located in the area labeled "POWER PLAY NUMBER". The play symbols are as follows:
(b) If a question arises as to the identity of a play symbol, the play symbol caption will be used for final clarification.
SECTION 5. The retailer validation code (for prizes up to five hundred ninety-nine dollars ($599)) verifies instant winners in this game. The retailer validation code that corresponds with and verifies each of these winners is as follows:
SECTION 6. Neither the retailer validation code, the pack-ticket number, the validation number, nor any portion thereof are play symbols or prize symbols and are not usable or playable as such.
SECTION 7. The scratch-off material must be removed from the game play data areas on individual tickets, revealing a total of fifty-five (55) play symbols, in order to determine if a ticket is a prize symbol. In each separate and independent "ROW", if any of the "YOUR NUMBERS" play symbols match any of the "WINNING POWERBALL NUMBERS" play symbols, the ticket holder is entitled to win the amount shown in the prize legend for that "ROW". The ticket holder shall multiply their total prize by the revealed play symbol, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X, in the "POWER PLAY NUMBER" play area.
SECTION 8. (a) The approximate number of possible prizes and the estimated odds for each prize level are as follows:
Total value of all prizes*: $4,348,160
Approximate print quantity: 3,360,000 (-3%/+1%)
(b) The approximate number of prizes and the estimated odds provided in subsection (a) are calculated based on an approximate print quantity. The actual quantity of tickets will vary from the approximate print quantity of tickets within a range of minus three percent (-3%) to plus one percent (+1%). The actual number of prizes and the odds for each prize amount will vary depending on the actual quantity of tickets.
(c) If the print quantity of tickets is changed during production of this game or due to subsequent reorders of the game, the ratio of prizes and total value of all prizes to the print quantity will be proportionately maintained so that the overall odds and prize payout percentage will approximate the values provided in subsection (a).
SECTION 9.
Prizes are subject to prior sales. The availability of tickets for sale in a scratch-off game depends on retailer orders for tickets. Not all tickets may be made available for sale prior to game closing and opened packs of tickets may be returned by a retailer to the lottery under 65 IAC 3-4-1(b).
SECTION 10.
