955                  DC LUCKY SUM Game

 

955.1               The Agency may conduct a game enhancement for the DC 3 and DC 4 on-line games called DC Lucky Sum to the public and for such time periods as determined by the Executive Director.

 

955.2               Lucky Sum is an add-on game feature to the DC3 and DC4 on-line games and offers the player another opportunity to win prizes by matching the sum of the selected numbers on the tickets to the sum of the numbers drawn.

 

955.3               A Lucky Sum play is a separate play from the DC3 or DC4 play. The Lucky Sum game is offered to players at an additional cost on top of the price of the specified draw game ticket. The actual cost of the Lucky Sum game will be the same cost as the specified draw game ticket (i.e., for a $1.00 draw game wager, the cost of the Lucky Sum game will be an additional $1.00).

 

955.4               If selected, the words “Sum It Up” and the sum of the numbers played will be printed on the ticket.  Each play will be on a separate ticket and is not cancellable.

 

955.5               Lucky Sum can be played for both day and evening drawings for DC3 or DC4 and excluding Front Pair and Back Pair for DC3 and Front Three and Back Three for DC4, Lucky Sum can be added to any of the play types. If Lucky Sum is selected, it will be applied to every wager produced by the play slip. If a play slip contains more than one play, then each play will produce a separate ticket.
