972.7 Selection of Studio Audience Members. The Agency (or its authorized designee) shall, from time to time as specified by the Product Group, conduct a promotional drawing from among those MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ registered D.C. Lottery’s Players Club account holders who have accumulated enough Monopoly properties to participate in the drawing. For each drawing, the Agency shall select a minimum of three (3) studio audience participants, each of whom shall be awarded: (i) transportation, meals, and lodging expenses for himself or herself and a guest to travel to and return from the TV Show; and (ii) the opportunity to be chosen as an on-stage participant on the TV Show and play MONOPOLY-themed contests for prizes.
972.8No transfers; No cash option; Exceptions. A D.C. Lottery player selected to participate as a studio audience member for the TV Show shall not have the right to transfer such selection to another person, except that the Agency, in its sole discretion, may permit or require the player to appoint another person to participate as a studio audience member (a proxy), subject to player eligibility requirements set by the Agency. If the player selects, or the Agency requires, a proxy to participate as a studio audience member in his/her place, the transportation, meals, and lodging expenses, together with any prize(s) awarded as a result of participation in the studio audience or in a contest on the TV Show shall be deemed to be received by the player initially selected to participate, not the proxy. Nothing in this rule requires the Agency to permit studio audience members to appoint a replacement to attend the TV Show taping. A player selected to participate as a studio audience member for the TV Show shall not have the right to decline the payment of expenses for transportation, meals, and lodging in exchange for a sum of money equivalent to the value of such expenses. The Agency, in its sole discretion, may select another player to attend the TV show taping should the player initially selected to participate in the studio audience decline the invitation or be determined to be ineligible to claim such prize under District Law and or this title. Nothing in this rule requires the Agency to offer a cash option in lieu of the opportunity to attend the TV Show.
