The randomizer will not be programmed to eliminate the possibility of the same container being selected more than once.

   (3)  If the numbered container selected is a physical container, one envelope will be randomly drawn from the container. As each entry envelope is selected, its contents will be qualified according to the requirements of section 10(a).

Once a qualified entry has been selected, further validation will take place by verifying the status of the tickets contained in the entry envelope drawn by entering the ticket information into the computerized instant ticket database.

   (c)  If the tickets used to create the submission are not received by the Lottery within one year or the tickets do not meet the requirement of section 10(b)(2), the right of a ticket holder to claim the prize represented by the ticket, if any, will expire and the prize money will be paid into the State Lottery Fund and used for purposes provided for by statute.

   (5)  If a Pennsylvania Lottery--Bonus PayDay^TM Second-Chance Drawing entry is rejected during the Pennsylvania Lottery--Bonus PayDay^TM Second-Chance Drawing, the sole remedy is to select another entry to replace the rejected entry in accordance with Lottery procedure.

If no claim is made within 1 year of the announced close of the Pennsylvania PayDay^TM instant game, the right of a ticket holder to claim the prize represented by the ticket, if any, will expire and the prize money will be paid into the State Lottery Fund and used for purposes provided for by statute.

   15.  Governing Law:  In purchasing a ticket, the customer agrees to comply with and abide by the State Lottery Law (72 P. S. §§ 3761-101--3761-314), 61 Pa. Code Part V (relating to State Lotteries) and the provisions contained in this notice.
