(1) If a statement
relating to an instant lottery is made by, or on behalf of, the Commission to
the effect that a prize is won if a specified number of symbols, or identical
symbols, printed on a ticket in the lottery or in a panel on a ticket are
matched—
(a) the
ticket is a winning ticket only if the ticket or panel (as the case requires)
has printed on or in it the specified number of the same symbol; and
(b) the
ticket is not a winning ticket if, for example, the ticket or panel has
printed on or in it the specified number of pairs of different symbols, or the
specified number of symbols can only be obtained by matching symbols from more
than one panel on the ticket; and
(c) a
caption to a symbol is to be taken to be part of the symbol and not a separate
symbol.
