OAR 177-090-0025: Ticket Purchase, Characteristics, and Restrictions

(1) General: A Sports Action ticket may only be purchased from a Lottery retailer during the Sports Action season. (2) Age of Player: A player must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a Sports Action ticket. (3) Ticket Purchase Options: A ticket may be purchased from a clerk-operated terminal or from a player-operated terminal. (a) Purchasing a Ticket from a Clerk-Operated Terminal: A player may purchase a ticket from a clerk-operated terminal by completing an entry form and submitting it with the amount of money to be wagered on the ticket to the clerk. The clerk will then issue a ticket to the player. Alternatively, a player may request a Quick Pick ticket from the clerk without using an entry form by informing the clerk of the number of events to be played and paying the amount of money to be wagered on the ticket. (b) Purchasing a Ticket from a Player-Operated Terminal: A player may purchase a ticket from a player-operated terminal only by using an entry form and following the instructions appearing on the terminal screen. Once the entry form is completed, the player must insert into the terminal the entry form and the amount of money to be wagered on the ticket. The terminal will then issue a ticket to the player. (4) Ticket Characteristics: A game ticket is the only proof of Sports Action game play, including the selections made by a player. The submission of a winning ticket to the Lottery or to an authorized retailer is the sole method for claiming a prize. An entry form or a copy of a game ticket has no pecuniary or prize value and does not constitute evidence of ticket purchase, the selections made by a player, or otherwise represent an opportunity to win a prize.
