OAR 177-098-0100: Applicable Law

(1) General: In purchasing a play, or attempting to claim a prize, purchasers and prize claimants agree to comply with and be bound by all applicable statutes, administrative rules, regulations, procedures, and decisions of the Lottery and MUSL, including all applicable provisions in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures, and by all directives and determinations of the Lottery Director. A purchaser or prize claimant agrees, as the purchaser or prize claimant’s sole and exclusive remedy, that claims arising out of a play issued by the Lottery can be pursued only against the Lottery. Litigation, if any, shall be maintained only within the State of Oregon. No claim shall be made against any other participating Lottery or against MUSL. Nothing in these rules shall be construed as a waiver of any defense or claim that the Lottery, any other participating lottery, or MUSL may have in any litigation, including in the event a purchaser or person making a claim pursues litigation against the Lottery Commission, the Lottery, any other participating Lottery, or MUSL, or their respective officers, directors, or employees. (2) Final Determinations: All decisions made by the Lottery Director, including the declaration of prizes and the payment thereof and the interpretation of the Mega Millions game rules and procedures, are final and binding on all play purchasers and on every person making a prize claim in respect thereof. (3) Unclaimed Prize: No prize shall be paid upon a play purchased, claimed, or sold in violation of these rules and the laws, rules, regulations, procedures, and decisions of the Lottery. Any such prize claimed but unpaid shall constitute an unclaimed prize under the statutes, rules, procedures, and decisions of the Lottery and shall be allocated to the benefit of the public purpose.
