Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the rules and regulations governing instant lottery games in New Hampshire. It specifies that individuals must be 18 years of age or older to purchase an instant lottery game ticket. The winners of a prize are determined by activities such as locating, matching, or adding play symbols on the ticket, or any other approved play action. The game must be played in accordance with the game’s play instructions and interpreted based on the game’s specifications on file with the commission. In the event that a defective ticket is purchased, the commission’s responsibility is limited to replacing the defective ticket with an un-played ticket or tickets of equivalent sales price from any other current lottery game. The commission is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. The document also outlines the validation procedures for instant lottery game tickets. To be deemed valid for payment or claim, a ticket must meet certain criteria, including being issued by the lottery in an authorized manner, passing validation and security tests, and having a validation number that appears on the commission’s official list of winning tickets. The ticket must not be altered, unreadable, counterfeit, stolen, mis-registered, or paid previously. It should also contain specific validation methods such as a validation bar code, boxed digits of the validation code, prize validation serial number, or PDF417 barcode. The symbols, numbers, or words on the ticket should be consistent with their respective caption or validation number. The validation methods of winning tickets should be verified and correspond to the data in the commission’s central computer system or third-party system and transaction history. If some validation methods are damaged and unreadable, the player can submit the ticket and a claim form for further review. The commission has the authority to review and validate tickets based on identifying information and ensure that no missing part of the same ticket allows another claim for the same prize. Any ticket that cannot be positively identified as valid shall be void and ineligible for any prize. The final decision on the validity of a ticket lies with the commission. The document also covers the rules for claiming payment of winning instant lottery game tickets, the responsibilities of clerks and lottery retailers in handling and processing these tickets, and the commissions and cashing bonuses entitled to lottery retailers. Additionally, it addresses the termination of instant lottery games by the New Hampshire Lottery Commission, including the circumstances under which a game may be terminated and the procedures for returning tickets. The document provides definitions for key terms related to instant lottery games, such as ‘claim’, ‘commission’, ‘instant lottery game’, ’lottery retailer’, and ‘validation’. It does not mention any specific exemptions or penalties related to these provisions. Overall, the document establishes the guidelines and procedures for the conduct and operation of instant lottery games in New Hampshire.
