(2) An entry form remains the corporation’s property at all times. ˙ Use of security codes and other tests to check entry forms and prizes 18.(1) The corporation may use security codes or other tests for entry forms— (a) to ensure that forged or fraudulently altered entry forms are not taken to be winning entries; and (b) to provide a way of deciding whether an entry form is a winning entry and, if so, the amount of the prize.
s 19 15 s 20 Lotteries Act 1994 (2) The corporation may record security codes on entry forms. (3) The corporation may also put into effect tests for entry forms. (4) If the corporation or an agent decides that an entry form does not display a valid security code for the entry form, or satisfy other tests relevant to the entry form, the corporation or agent must not pay a prize for the entry form. (5) Subsection (4) has effect even though the entry form appears to be a valid winning entry. ˙ Independent supervision of lotteries 19.(1) The auditor-general must supervise— (a) the systems used to decide winning symbols and prize winners in a lottery to ensure the security and efficient operation of the systems including, for example, the codes and other tests mentioned in section 18 (Use of security codes and other tests to check entry forms and prizes); and (b) the operation of the systems for each lottery; and (c) the accuracy of the results for each lottery. (2) If the results of a lottery are to be decided by a drawing in another jurisdiction under the laws of the jurisdiction, the auditor-general need not supervise the drawing. ˙ Prizes 20.(1) The prizes to be distributed in a drawing of a lottery must be in accordance with— (a) the rules for the lottery; and (b) to the extent that the rules for the lottery do not specify a prize structure for the lottery, the prize structure approved by the Minister for the lottery. (2) However, the total value of the prizes for a drawing must be not less than 50% of the total subscriptions for the drawing. (3) If a prize in a drawing of a lottery is property other than money or
s 21 16 s 23 Lotteries Act 1994 entry forms for a lottery, the value of the property is taken to be the cost of the property to the corporation. ˙ Bonus prize money 21.(1) A rule for a lottery may provide for putting aside an amount ( “bonus prize money” ) from the value of prize money to be distributed in a drawing of the lottery even though section 20(2) (Prizes) would not be complied with. (2) Bonus prize money may be accumulated with bonus prize money for drawing in the same lottery or another lottery. (3) Bonus prize money must be distributed from time to time in payment of a prize or an additional prize in a lottery. (4) Until bonus prize money is distributed, it must be recorded in the corporation’s accounts as a reserve. (5) However, bonus prize money may be invested as part of the corporation’s funds. ˙ Jackpots 22.(1) A rule for a lottery may provide for putting aside an amount (a “jackpot” ) for a prize for which there is no winner, even though, for a drawing, section 20(2) would not be complied with. (2) The rule must provide for how the jackpot may be won in a subsequent drawing for the lottery. (3) Until a jackpot is distributed, it must be recorded in the corporation’s accounts as a reserve. (4) However, a jackpot may be invested as part of the corporation’s funds. ˙ Pooling arrangements 23.(1) This section applies if— (a) there is an agreement between the corporation and a foreign agency about the conduct of a gaming scheme (the “scheme” ) by
s 24 17 s 24 Lotteries Act 1994 the corporation and the foreign agency; and (b) the scheme is a combination of— (i) a lottery; and (ii) an equivalent gaming scheme conducted by the foreign agency (the “foreign gaming scheme” ); and (c) for the scheme, the following amounts are pooled (the “pooled amounts” )— (i) amounts paid as subscriptions for the lottery; (ii) amounts paid by persons to the foreign agency in taking part in the foreign gaming scheme; and (d) the scheme has— (i) a single drawing; and (ii) a single schedule of prizes. (2) Despite section 20(2), the value of prizes paid to persons from whom the corporation receives subscriptions may be less than 50% of the total of the subscriptions if the value of prizes for a drawing under the scheme is not less than 50% of the pooled amounts for the drawing. (3) If a prize in a drawing under the scheme is property other than money or entry forms for the scheme, the value of the property is taken to be the cost of the property to the scheme. (4) To avoid doubt, this section may be applied in conjunction with bonus prize money arrangements, jackpot arrangements, or both. ˙ Withdrawal of unsold entry forms in certain circumstances 24.(1) This section applies to a lottery if, under the rules for the lottery, a person takes part in the lottery through entry forms that are printed in a way enabling a person to find out immediately whether the person has won a prize. Example— A lottery known as instant casket, commonly known as instant scratch-its. (2) The corporation may withdraw all entry forms for a drawing in the lottery, and for which no subscription has been paid, if—
s 25 18 s 25 Lotteries Act 1994 (a) the drawing for the lottery cannot proceed in a way that is substantially consistent with the prize structure for the drawing because of the way the entry forms have been printed; or (b) prizes included in the prize structure for the lottery are no longer— (i) available; or (ii) of any value. Example for subsection (2)(b)(ii)— Some of the prizes for the drawing are tickets to a sporting event, but the event is held before all entry forms have been subscribed for. (3) The corporation may withdraw entry forms for a drawing in the lottery if the forms are damaged or stolen. (4) However, the corporation must not withdraw entry forms under this section until it notifies the withdrawal in the gazette. (5) Also, as soon as practicable after entry forms are withdrawn under subsection (2), the corporation must advertise the withdrawal in a newspaper circulating generally in the State, and may advertise the withdrawal in any other way. (6) Subsections (2) and (3) apply despite section 20(2). ˙ Claims for prizes 25.(1) In the agency payment period for a lottery, a claim for payment of a prize in the lottery may be made to the corporation or an agent. (2) After the agency payment period for a lottery ends, a claim for payment of a prize in the lottery may be made only to the corporation. (3) A subscriber’s entitlement to claim a prize in a lottery continues until whichever of the following first happens— (a) the prize is paid under the Act; (b) the end of 7 years after the lottery closes even though the prize has been dealt with under section 27 (Disposal of unclaimed prizes that are property) or 28 (Unclaimed prizes generally). (4) The rules of a lottery may provide that a person who is registered
