LUCKY 3 OFFICIAL
RULES & REGULATIONS

This document represents the official rules and regulations for the St. Lucia National Lotteries Authority (hereafter referred to as NLA) Lucky 3 game dated Monday, 27 November 2017. Lucky 3 is a number game designed for NLA. Canadian Bank Note Company, Ltd., (hereafter referred to as CBN) manages the game on behalf of the NLA through its wholly owned subsidiary CBN St. Lucia Inc. operating as St. Lucia National Lottery (hereafter referred to as SNL). All operations of the Lucky 3 game run under the auspices of CBN are to be governed by these Rules and Regulations, which from time to time may be amended.

1. Game Description:

The Lucky 3 game involves allowing members of the public to select three (3) digits from the range of 000 to 999 and play those digits for a specific bet amount for the current draw and possibly future draws. All data regarding tickets sold for a particular draw are compiled at the Central site computer. A draw will take place twice daily, six days per week. One winning number consisting of three (3) digits with each digit between zero (0) and nine (9) is selected at random by a Ball Based Drawing Machine.

Prizes will be awarded as follows

Inline Bet - Matching the three digits called in the same order in which they are drawn.
3-Way Mix Bet - With this bet two of the numbers must be the same and the numbers can only be mixed three ways in any order.
6-Way Mix Bet - With this bet you can match your three numbers in any order to the winning numbers.
Back up - This play type is a combination of an in-line and a mix/6 way/3 way. This simply means you have more chances of winning; in-line or mix or both ways. The ticket price is separated between the plays as well as the winnings.
Front pair - Matching the first two numbers on your ticket in the exact order to the first two winning numbers.
Back pair - Matching the second and third numbers of your ticket in the exact order to the second and third winning numbers.
Split pair - Matching the first and third number on your ticket in the exact order to the first and third winning numbers.
EZ Play - It’s the easiest way to play Lucky 3. Just pick 3 numbers and choose the EZ Play option. There are four ways to win with this option: Your three numbers must match the three winning numbers in the exact order, reverse order, last two digits or last digit.

Prizes for all bet types will be calculated on a fixed basis.

2. Ticket Detail:
1. Tickets may be purchased from authorized sellers or from the SNL Office. All tickets will be printed on paper provided by the SNL Office to its selling agents. All tickets will have the following information:
   • ■ The first draw date and draw number range for which the ticket is valid.
   • ■ The seller’s name and retailer number.
   • ■ The time and date that the ticket was sold.
   • ■ Ticket serial number.
   • ■ The total price of the ticket.
   • ■ The chosen three digits played.

   The player is responsible for checking that the ticket contains the correct number(s), number of plays, draw date and is properly printed in every way. The SNL’s liability in the case of a misprinted ticket is limited to a replacement ticket of the same value.

2. If there is a problem with a ticket, the only way for the player to receive a replacement is to immediately present the ticket to the selling agent. The selling agent can then cancel the ticket according to the rules described in section 4, ‘Ticket Cancellation’. Players can also bring the ticket to the SNL’s office, prior to the draw, for a replacement ticket.
3. An original valid ticket constitutes the only acceptable evidence of a bet. Every ticket is a bearer instrument and the purchaser is solely responsible for its safekeeping. SNL is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged tickets beyond its control. SNL recommends that players sign and print their full names at the back of their ticket(s) after purchase.
4. If there is any conflict between the information on the central computer system and the information on the ticket, the former shall govern.
3. Sales and Redemption:
1. A single Lucky 3 play has a price of one dollar ($1). A single ticket can have up to ten (10) separate plays on it.
2. If there are any problems with a ticket and for some reason the ticket cannot be cancelled, the only way for the issuing seller to receive a refund is for the ticket to be presented to the SNL Head Office PRIOR to the draw. After the draw NO refunds or credits will be made.
3. Under certain special circumstances, SNL may request (via newspaper advertisements or other suitable media) that holders of winning tickets present these tickets at the SNL head office by a published date.
4. Only those tickets loaded into the central site computer are actually valid for the draw.
4. Ticket Cancellation:
1. The cancellation feature can be invoked for two reasons:
   1. A ticket is misprinted or damaged by the lottery terminal making the ticket unusable or unable to be sold, or
   2. An entry mistake is made by the lottery clerk and the player refuses to accept the ticket.
2. Cancellations must occur within 60 minutes of the purchase of the ticket and prior to the first or only draw for which the ticket is eligible.
3. The selling agent can cancel the ticket on the terminal and thereby receive full credit for that ticket once the cancellation occurs within the first 60 minutes after the ticket is purchased.
5. Draw Times & Draw Procedures:
1. The lottery terminals are programmed to stop selling tickets (5mins) prior to the draw taking place.
