Subject to the limitations on cash payments noted below, the Sponsor’s point- of-sale clerk will tell what (if anything) you have won and will then pay to you in cash anything that you have won. If instead you want to view your participation results on the monitor screen the point of sale clerk will instruct you how to use the electronic equipment to do so. If you choose to use the electronic equipment to view the results of your entries, key into the computer terminal the account number assigned to you. When you enter your account number you will see on the monitor, two points account displays. One points account display is marked to indicate the number of points available to you for participation in the game promotion. The other indicates the value of promotional gifts that have been awarded to you. If you have entered the promotional game by purchasing Internet access time, the use of promotional game entry points will not reduce the Internet access time that you have purchased.

If the amount is over five hundred dollars ($500.00) then the Sponsor will pay you by check within two business days of the award verification. Promotional game entry points are not available from purchase of any product or service at the Sponsor’s store other than Internet access time unless posted in supplementary rule at the Sponsor’s store. The right to receive promotional prizes cannot be assigned or transferred by the participant who is entitled to the prizes.
5. HOW WINNERS ARE SELECTED. There are three methods of winner selection. The first (1st) method of winner selection involves activation of the artwork themes that can be displayed on the monitor of a computer station in the Sponsor’s store. This is referred to as the “Primary Promotion.” The second (2nd) method does not involve artwork themes. This method is referred to as the “Instant Revealer.” The third (3rd) method of winner selection involves a separate and additional winner selection for which participants are eligible while active in causing the electronic system to disclose the promotional prize values of entries in the Primary Promotion. This additional method is called the “Bonus Promotion.”
Winner Selection in the “Primary Promotion.” Resident in the Sponsor’s server is a finite deal of one thousand (1,000) electronic game pieces for each play level of each artwork theme shown on the monitor. There are twenty four (24) artwork themes for you to choose from. Twenty (20) of the artwork themes each offer ten (10) play levels for you to choose from. Two (2) artwork themes (Fabulous Fortune and Fabulous Fortune Pick’em) both offer eleven (11) play levels for you to choose from. Two (2) other artwork themes (Shamrock Faire 8-Lines and Pig’n Cash 8- Lines) both offer twelve (12) play levels for you to choose from. Thus, you have two hundred forty-six (246) separate finite pools to choose from. Within each finite pool, each electronic game piece has an assigned value. (For these values, please refer to ODDS OF WINNING, below.) On each draw from the finite deal that you choose, the Sponsor’s server will select from the finite deal of the artwork theme and play level that you have selected, the number of game pieces that represent the result of that draw. Upon such selection, the electronic game piece is removed from the deal and is not used again. The value (if any) of the electronic game piece(s) selected will be added to the awarded points display on the monitor of the computer terminal that you are using. Once the deal is fully depleted by successive draws, it will automatically reconstitute in a different order but with the same odds and game piece values.
Winner Selection in the “Instant Revealer.” If you do not want to associate draws of your electronic game pieces with the artwork displays, you can use the “Instant Revealer” feature that is available via touch screen controls on the monitor. Use of this feature accesses a single finite pool of one thousand electronic game pieces that is dedicated to the Instant Revealer and discloses the values of your electronic game pieces more rapidly than can be achieved through the Primary Promotion. By the Instant Revealer you can cause the electronic system to disclose the promotional prize values of your entries in increments of five points, up to the entire number of points available to you. Winner Selection in the “Bonus Promotion.” A progressive bonus drawing is conducted concurrently with your participation in the Primary Promotion. Upon each draw of an electronic game piece, using any artwork theme and play level other than the Instant Revealer, the system will deduct promotional points from your available-points account and will credit those points to a bonus pool of promotional points deducted likewise from the available-points accounts of all participants in the promotional game. When the promotional points held in the bonus pool aggregate to at least ________ points, the promotional game system will be able to make bonus awards to eligible participants.
A participant is eligible to receive a bonus award only while logged onto the computer system and actively committing entry points to draw electronic game pieces and cause the monitor to reveal the promotional prize value of entries. A “traffic light” icon indicates the participant’s bonus prize eligibility status. Upon the participant’s initial draw (of any theme and play level other than the Instant Revealer) the icon will display green, indicating eligibility. If seconds elapse without a subsequent draw, the traffic light icon will show amber to indicate that the participant may lose eligibility to receive a bonus prize. If the participant does not initiate another draw within seconds after the “traffic light” icon turned amber, then eligibility to receive a bonus prize will be suspended until the participant’s next draw from one of the finite pools, other than the Instant Revealer pool.
When the number of points contributed by the individual participant to the bonus award pool reaches _____ , and as long as the points balance remains above that amount, the electronic promotional game system will select and provide random awards at random times. The most frequent selection will be every _____. The least frequent random selection will be every . When selecting an award, the system will randomly choose from (1) a “Single Award” to be credited to the available-points account of a single participant who is eligible to receive the award at the time the Single Award selection is made, or (2) a “Community Award” that is distributed equally among all participants who are eligible at the time the Community Award selection is made.
The amounts of Single Award that the system may make are (1) no points, (2) points,(3) points and (4) points, respectively. The amounts of the Community Award that the system may make are (1) no points, (2) points, (3) points and (4) points, respectively.
ODDS OF WINNING. For the winning odds of all play-level finite pools, including the Instant Revealer pool, access the rules screen on the patron terminal and click on the “ODDS” button that you will see there. The odds of winning a Bonus Promotion prize are dependent on the number and rate of contributions to the bonus pool and the number of eligible participants present when the award Bonus Promotion is made. Therefore, the participant’s odds of receiving a Bonus Promotion award, and the amount of that award, can not be stated numerically.
