3770:1-13-31. Game number thirty-one

(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game number thirty-one, "S.U.V. & Cash," shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purpose of this rule, "sales cycle" shall mean any such period, including reprints, beginning on the date when ticket sales are commenced and continuing through the date established by the director as the date on which agents are to make their final settlement with respect to ticket allocated to them during the period in game number thirty-one.

(B) General design.

(1) Game number thirty-one is a number match game generally known as an "instant lottery."

(2) Holders of valid tickets will remove the covering of the entire play area. If the player matches any one or more of "your number(s)" to either of the two "S.U.V. number(s)," the player wins the prize shown below the matching "your number(s)." If the prize revealed below the matching "your number" is an "S.U.V." symbol, the player wins a 2000 GMC Jimmy(R)or equivalent thereof. There are ten chances to win on each ticket. If the player reveals a "win all" symbol below any of "your number(s)," the player wins all ten prizes automatically.

(3) As used in this rule, "prize award" shall mean one of the following monetary amounts which is the total of all winning prize values appearing on the ticket: two dollars, four dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, thirty dollars, seventy-five dollars, two hundred fifty dollars, one thousand dollars, four thousand dollars and a sports utility vehicle ("S.U.V.") which shall be a 2000 GMC Jimmy(R)valued at approximately forty-four thousand dollars. Each ticket in game number thirty-one shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.

(4) With respect to any "S.U.V." won as a prize award, the Ohio lottery will pay the federal income tax withholding and the state income tax withholding on behalf of each winner of a 2000 GMC Jimmy(R)or equivalent thereof. All prize winners of an "S.U.V." will be responsible for paying the state and local sales taxes on the prize. No cash alternative will be offered in lieu of the "S.U.V."

(C) Price of tickets. The price of a ticket issued by the commission in game number thirty-one shall be two dollars.

(D) Structure, nature and value of prize awards.

(1) There shall be one type of prize in game number thirty-one called a "regular prize award."

Prize values shall be concealed by an opaque covering which may be scratched off by the holder of the ticket to reveal the underlying prize value.
