    (c) If a question arises as to the play symbol, the play symbol caption will be used for final clarification.

    SECTION 4. (a) Each ticket in scratch-off game number 155 shall contain a total of nine (9) prize symbols, located directly beneath each corresponding play symbol, in the game play data area labeled "YOUR NUMBERS".

    (c) If a question arises as to a prize symbol, the prize symbol caption will be used for final clarification.

    SECTION 6. Neither the retailer validation code, the game/pack/ticket number, the validation number, nor any portion thereof are play symbols nor prize symbols and are not usable or playable as such.

    SECTION 7. In order to determine if a ticket is a prize winner, the scratch-off material must be removed from the game play data area on individual tickets revealing a total of twenty-six (26) play and prize symbols. If any of the "YOUR NUMBERS" play symbols match either of the "WINNING NUMBERS" play symbols, the ticket holder is entitled to win the prize shown below and corresponding with the matching play symbol. The ticket holder is entitled to win double the prize shown below and corresponding with the matching play symbol if the "065090497ERA04.jpg" (Indiana Logo) multiplier symbol is also revealed. If the "065090497ERA05.jpg" symbol is revealed, the ticket holder is entitled to win the prize shown below and corresponding with the play symbol automatically.

    SECTION 8. (a) The approximate number of possible prizes and the estimated odds for each prize level are as follows:
    065090497ERA06.jpg

    Total value of all prizes*: $4,329,200
    Prize payout: 64.42%
    Overall odds: 1 in 4.66
    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. If the director determines an end date for scratch-off game number 155, under 65 IAC 4-2-3(a), tickets may remain on sale during the game closing process, even if all prizes of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) have been claimed. Scratch-off game number 155 may be closed prior to all prizes being awarded.

    SECTION 11. 65 IAC 4-1 through 65 IAC 4-3 apply to scratch-off game number 155, "20TH ANNIVERSARY".

    SECTION 12. This document expires sixty (60) days after the last claim date in scratch-off game 155.
