CHAPTER 48:03:03
ON-LINE TICKET PAYMENT AND VALIDATION
Section
48:03:03:01 Ticket ownership and prize entitlements.
48:03:03:02 Ticket validation requirements.
48:03:03:03 Remedy for disputed or defective ticket.
48:03:03:04 Prize claiming procedures.
48:03:03:05 Disclosure of winner.
48:03:03:06 Unclaimed prizes.
48:03:03:07 Prize payment to winner's estate.
48:03:03:01. Ticket ownership and prize entitlements. Until a signature is placed on the back of an on-line ticket in the area designated for signature, the ticket is owned by its physical possessor. Once a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the designated area, the person whose signature appears in the designated area is the owner of the ticket and is entitled to any prize attributable to the ticket. Notwithstanding the name or names submitted on a claim form, the lottery shall pay the prize to the person whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the designated area. If the signatures of more than one person appear in that area, the lottery must pay the prize to the person identified on the winner's claim form to receive payment, as designated by all persons whose signatures appear on the back of the ticket. If all persons whose signatures appear on the back of the ticket in the designated area cannot identify one person to whom payment is to be made, the lottery may withhold payment until the proper payee is determined. Only one person is entitled to payment of a particular prize.
When a player submits a claim for a cash prize by electronic device, the player asserts to the lottery that the player is entitled to claim the prize, that there are no other claims to the prize, and that the player is not prohibited by law from purchasing a lottery ticket or claiming a lottery prize. A false representation is a violation of this section and may result in civil fines pursuant to SDCL subdivision 43-7A-4(12).
The lottery shall pay or award the prize for each on-line game winning ticket to the person judged by the executive director to be the holder of the winning ticket. No prize may be awarded, nor is the lottery liable, for tickets not submitted for validation or for the announcement or dissemination of incorrect numbers drawn.

Law Implemented: SDCL 42-7A-4(12), 42-7A-23, 42-7A-34.
48:03:03:02. Ticket validation requirements. All claims for prizes are subject to validation by the lottery. An on-line ticket is the only evidence acceptable to the lottery for prize payment. An on-line game ticket must meet all of the following validation requirements:
(1) The ticket validation number must be presented in its entirety and correspond, using the computer validation file, to the selected numbers printed on the ticket for the date printed on the ticket;
(2) The ticket must have been issued directly to an on-line retailer by the lottery;
(3) The play evidenced by the ticket must reach, be accepted, and be recorded by the central computer. The information on the ticket must correspond precisely with the lottery's computer record;
(4) The ticket data must have been recorded in the central computer system prior to the cutoff time for the drawing. The executive director shall specify the cutoff time for each authorized on-line game. Even if it appears that a play is accepted by virtue of the fact that a ticket is printed, any play placed after the cutoff time is not eligible for that drawing regardless of when the drawing is held;
(5) The ticket serial number must appear in its entirety and correspond, using the computer validation file, to the winning game play or plays printed on the ticket;
(6) The numbers selected by the player, the validation number data, and the drawing data of an apparent winning ticket must appear on the official file of winning tickets, and a ticket with that exact data must not have been previously paid;
(7) A ticket is void unless the ticket is printed on a paper stock roll that was validly issued to and used at the time of the play by the on-line retailer from whom the ticket was purchased;
(8) The ticket must not be counterfeit, altered, mutilated, unreadable, tampered with in any manner, incomplete, or defective; and
(9) The ticket must pass all other confidential security checks of the lottery.
By submitting an on-line ticket for validation, the player agrees to abide by the rules of the lottery. An on-line game ticket that does not pass all of the validation checks of this section is considered void and shall not be paid. The final determination on validation rests with the executive director.

Law Implemented: SDCL 42-7A-34.
48:03:03:03. Remedy for disputed or defective ticket. If the executive director and a claimant dispute as to whether a ticket is a winning ticket and if the executive director determines that the ticket is not valid and does not pay the prize, the executive director may replace the disputed ticket with a ticket of equivalent sales price for a future drawing of the current game or refund the cost of the ticket. These are the sole remedies of the claimant. If a defective on-line ticket is purchased, the only responsibility or liability of the lottery, the on-line vendor, or the on-line retailer is the replacement of the defective on-line ticket with another on-line ticket for a future drawing of the same game.

General Authority: SDCL 42-7A-21(3)(17).
48:03:03:04. Prize claiming procedures. Prizes for validated, winning on-line tickets must be claimed in the following manner:
(1) To claim an on-line game prize of one hundred dollars or less, the claimant may present the winning on-line ticket to any on-line retailer, to any lottery regional office, or to the main office of the lottery in Pierre in person. A claim, regardless of the amount, may also be presented to the lottery by mailing the ticket together with a completed claim form to the main lottery office in Pierre;
(2) If the claim is presented to an on-line retailer, the on-line retailer must validate the claim and, if the ticket is determined to be a winning ticket, make payment of the amount due the claimant. For prizes over one hundred dollars, the claimant shall complete a claim form obtained from the retailer and submit it with the winning ticket. If the on-line retailer cannot validate the claim, the claimant may obtain and complete a claim form and submit it with the disputed ticket to the lottery by mail or in person. If the lottery determines that the ticket is a winning ticket, the lottery must present or mail a check to the claimant in payment of the amount due. If the lottery determines that the ticket is not a winning ticket, the lottery must deny the claim and the claimant must be promptly notified. Nonwinning tickets will not be returned to the claimant;
(3) If the claim is presented to a lottery regional office or to the lottery main office, the claimant must complete a claim form for prizes over one hundred dollars and submit it with the winning ticket in person. If the lottery determines that the ticket is a winning ticket, the lottery must present or mail a check to the claimant in payment of the amount due, less any withholding required by federal laws and SDCL 42-7A-52. If the lottery determines that the ticket is not a winning ticket, the lottery must deny the claim and the claimant must be promptly notified. Nonwinning tickets will not be returned to the claimant;
(4) To claim an on-line prize of more than one hundred dollars, the claimant may obtain and complete a claim form and submit it with the winning ticket to a lottery regional office or to the lottery main office in Pierre. For the largest prize category of an on-line game, the lottery may require the prize be claimed and paid from the lottery main office in Pierre. If the lottery determines that the ticket is a winning ticket, the lottery must process for payment the amount due, less any withholding required by federal laws and SDCL 42-7A-52. The amount due must be calculated according to the rules adopted for the particular on-line game. If the lottery determines that the ticket is not a winning ticket, the lottery must deny the claim and the claimant must be promptly notified. Nonwinning tickets will not be returned to the claimant; and
(5) To claim a cash on-line prize of more than one hundred dollars but less than five thousand and one dollars, the claimant may use an electronic device to scan the barcode on the ticket or enter the ticket information as instructed by the lottery. If the lottery determines that the ticket is a winning ticket, the lottery must process payment for the payment due, less any withholding required by federal laws and SDCL 42-7A-52. The amount due must be calculated according to the rules adopted for the particular on-line game. If the lottery determines that the ticket is not a winning ticket, the lottery must deny the claim and the claimant must be promptly notified.

If a lottery winner dies during the payment period of an annuitized prize, the commission, in its sole discretion and upon the petition of the estate of the lottery winner, may accelerate the payment of all the remaining lottery proceeds to the estate. If the commission approves the request, the securities or cash, or both, held for the deceased lottery winner which represents the present value of that portion of the future lottery payments to be accelerated shall be distributed to the estate. The commission is solely responsible for the valuation of the securities and determination of the present value of the accelerated lottery payments.
