Section 315-38-160. Ticket validation requirements.

In order to be deemed a valid, winning, official Mega Millions ticket, all of the following conditions must be met:

(1) The ticket must meet the requirements of WAC 315-30-050 and the requirements of the multistate agreement.

(2) In submitting an official Mega Millions ticket for validation, the claimant agrees to abide by applicable laws, all rules and regulations, instructions, conditions, and final decision of the director of the Washington state lottery, or other party lottery, which issued the ticket.

(3) To be a valid ticket, the ticket data must have been recorded on the central computer system prior to the drawing and the ticket data must match this computer record in every respect. In the event of a contradiction between information as printed on the ticket and as accepted by the party lottery computer, the wager accepted by the party lottery computer shall be the valid wager.

(4) There must not be any other breach of rules in relation to the ticket which, in the opinion of the director of the party lottery which issued the ticket, justifies disqualification.

(5) The ticket must be submitted to the party lottery which issued it, and only that party lottery which issued the ticket may pay the prize.
