The use of mechanical, electronic, computer generated or any other method of marking betting slips is prohibited. 3. Bet slips shall have no pecuniary or prize value, or constitute evidence of purchase or number selections. (b) The terminal must generate a ticket, as described in 961CMR 2.66(3)(d), which is given to the bettor as his or her receipt. (c) A single game bet may be canceled on the day it is placed prior to the close of betting for the game for which the bet is eligible.

Consecutive game bets cannot be canceled after the first game for which the bet is eligible takes place. (d) A bet must be canceled at the On-line System terminal in which the bet was placed. Bettors shall be entitled to a full refund of their bets upon cancellation and in no event shall a canceled ticket be entitled to a prize. (e) Bets may be placed with any Lottery Sales Agent authorized to accept ALL OR NOTHING bets or at any Lottery facility accepting ALL OR NOTHING bets. (f) Bets may be placed at any time during the day at such time or times as will be determined by the Director, but all bets must be placed and accepted by the Lottery's On-line System prior to the close of betting for a game.

(g) The bet as represented by the ticket produced by the On-line System is the only bet on which a prize may be claimed.

The Lottery may pay a prize to the holder of an ALL OR NOTHING ticket and the payment of such prize shall absolve the Lottery of any further liability with respect to such ticket. In determining whether a prize has been paid on an ALL OR NOTHING ticket, the Lottery may rely solely upon its computer records in determining whether or not a particular prize has been paid and the status as determined by the Lottery's On-line System shall be binding on the holder. In the event of a lost, stolen or mislaid ticket, the Director may order an investigation, and if he or she is satisfied that the claimant in fact is the owner of the lost, stolen or mislaid ticket and it has not otherwise been paid, he or she may in his or her discretion pay the prize to the claimant thereof. All payments of prizes on lost, stolen or mislaid tickets shall not be made for a period of 90 days in the case of a prize of $200.00 or less and shall not be made for one year if the prize exceeds $200.00, unless the Director in his or her discretion shall decide otherwise. (7) Sales Agents. Sales Agents are required to pay to the Lottery all sums due on the date established for payment. Failure to make payment when due or upon notice from the custodial bank that funds are not available will result in the immediate shut down of that Sales Agent's terminal and the Sales Agent's license to sell the ALL OR NOTHING and/or any other Lottery game shall be subject to revocation, suspension or nonrenewal pursuant to the provisions of 961 CMR 2.13. (8) Prizes. All prize amounts shall be set by the Director in an Administrative Bulletin governing the game. The Administrative Bulletin shall detail the total field of numbers to choose from, establish minimum prizes, rules for rounding payments to the nearest dollar or otherwise, rules for subtracting overpayments from a pool from subsequent pools and adding under payments from a pool to subsequent pools, and such other matters as may be necessary or desirable for the proper operation of the game. (9) Multiplier Feature. The Lottery may offer a multiplier feature, which may be known by an associated trade name, for the ALL OR NOTHING game. This is a feature by which a bettor, for an additional wager, may increase the prize amount by a factor depending upon a multiplier number that is drawn prior to a game. Rules regarding the multiplier feature shall be set by the Director in an Administrative Bulletin governing the game. (11) Termination.
