PUBLIC LOTTERIES ACT 1996 - SECT 51

51 Clarification of certain rules for winning prizes in instant lotteries

(1) In an instant lottery, a statement that a prize is won by matching 3 numbers or by matching 3 identical numbers (or a statement to the same effect) means, and is taken always to have meant, that a prize is won if the same number appears 3 times. For example--

7	1		7	1
3	7	wins a prize	3	7	does not win a prize
4	7		3	1

(2) In an instant lottery, a caption to a number (for example, the word "one" beneath the number "1") forms part of the number and does not constitute a separate number for the purposes of counting the number of numbers.

(3) This section applies to a statement on a ticket in the instant lottery or to a statement publicly advertised or used in connection with the instant lottery.
