OAR 177-099-0100: Keno Jackpot Bonus

(1) General: (a) Jackpot Bonus Prizes: In addition to the Keno prizes described in OAR 177-099-0080, the Special Keno prizes described in OAR 177-099-0090, and the Bulls-Eye prizes described in OAR 177-099-0105, the Director may designate additional prizes for some or all of the Keno spot games. The Director may change this designation at any time. When the Director designates a spot game as eligible for such a prize, the Director shall determine the percentage of gross Keno sales (excluding sales of the Keno Multiplier option and the Bulls-Eye option) to be allocated to a prize pool held in reserve as an additional prize for winners of the top prize in the designated spot game. A prize awarded from one of these prize pools is called a Jackpot Bonus prize. A Jackpot Bonus prize is awarded when a ticket wins the top prize for the designated spot under OAR 177-099-0080 or OAR 177-099-0090. If the Jackpot Bonus prize pool for a specific spot is not won, the Jackpot Bonus prize pool for that spot continues to grow. (b) Director’s Discretion: When the Director exercises discretion to change the spot games eligible for a Jackpot Bonus prize, the Lottery will post notice of the Jackpot Bonus change on the Lottery’s website at www.oregonlottery.org seven calendar days in advance of such change. Lottery may also announce the change by any other reasonable means. (c) Rollover: When the Director exercises discretion to remove a spot game from eligibility for a Jackpot Bonus prize, the Director shall rollover any funds held in the prize pool for that spot game into any other Jackpot Bonus prize pools as determined by the Director. (2) Automatic Entry: If a game play on a ticket is for a spot game that has been designated by the Director as eligible for a Jackpot Bonus prize, the ticket is automatically playing for the Jackpot Bonus prize described under subsection (1)(a) of this rule, as well as either a Keno prize under OAR 177-099-0080 or a Special Keno prize under OAR 177-099-0090. (a) Example: If a Keno ticket with an 8-spot game play is the only Keno or Special Keno ticket to match 8 out of 8 of the winning numbers, that ticket, subject to ticket validation requirements, would win either the top Keno prize for the 8-spot under OAR 177-099-0080 ($15,000) or the top Special Keno prize for the 8 spot under OAR 177-099-0090 ($25,000) and the accumulated Jackpot Bonus prize for the 8-spot. (3) Division of Jackpot Bonus Prize Pool: The prize money in the Jackpot Bonus prize pool for a specific spot for any given drawing is divided by the number of tickets winning the top prize for that spot under either OAR 177-099-0080 or OAR 177-099-0090. The Jackpot Bonus prize pool is divided among those winning tickets on a pro-rata basis determined by the amount that each winning ticket played in the drawing in which the Jackpot Bonus prize was won. (a) Example: If one Keno ticket wins the top prize for the 8-spot ($15,000) in a drawing, and was purchased for ten drawings at $3 per drawing, and one Special Keno ticket wins the top prize for the 8-spot ($25,000) in the same drawing, and was purchased for one drawing at $1, the holder of the Keno ticket would receive 75% of the prize in the Jackpot Bonus prize pool for the 8-spot and the holder of the Special Keno ticket would receive the remaining 25% of the prize in that Jackpot Bonus prize pool.
