(A) Title and term. Ohio lottery commission game rule number eight hundred six, "Cash In" shall be conducted at such times and for such periods as the commission may determine. For the purposes 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 sales agents are to make their final settlement with respect to tickets allocated to them during the period in game rule number eight hundred six.
(B) General design.
(1) Game rule number eight hundred six is an instant lottery game within which are contained six separate games. The holder of a valid ticket is required to scratch off the covering of each game. Each game contains one "Lucky Number," three "Your Numbers" columns: column "1X," column "2X," and column "3X," and a corresponding prize. If "Your Number" in the "1X" column matches the "Lucky Number" in the same game, you win the corresponding prize. If "Your Number" in the "2X" column matches the "Lucky Number" in the same game, you win double the corresponding prize. If "Your Number" in the "3X" column matches the "Lucky Number" in the same game, you win triple the corresponding prize. If "Your Number" in any of the "1X" columns matches the "Lucky Number" and the winning prize revealed is the "TPD" symbol, the player wins five thousand five hundred dollars automatically, and, upon the filing of a valid claim at an Ohio lottery commission office, shall also automatically be entered in the Top Prize Drawing for a chance to win one hundred fifty thousand dollars. There are six chances to win on each ticket, and a player may win up to six times on one ticket.
(2) The only "prize values" which shall appear on a ticket in game rule number eight hundred six: one dollar, two dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, the "TPD" symbol corresponding to a prize value of five thousand five hundred dollars, ten thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars and one hundred fifty thousand dollars.

(1) There shall be two types of prizes in game rule eight hundred six, a "regular prize award" and a "TPD" prize award.

Each ticket in game rule number eight hundred six shall be imprinted in such a way that prize awards from the set listed above may be won.
