Ticket Purchase: Tickets may be purchased either from a terminal operated by a retailer, i.e., a clerk-operated terminal, or from a terminal operated by the player, i.e., a player-operated terminal. To play Pick 4, a player must either:(a)
Complete a game slip for input into a clerk-operated terminal or player-operated terminal;(b)
Request a Quick Pick or manual numbers selection from a clerk; or(c)
Request a Quick Pick using a player-operated terminal.(3)
Completing a Game Slip:(a)
A player must choose a game play by one of two methods:(A)
A player must select four numbers, one each from four columns of numbers from zero to nine on the game slip; or(B)
The player may select the Quick Pick option.(b)
A player must also complete the selection of the Match Choice option(s) on the game slip.(c)
A player must indicate if the game play is for consecutive drawings.(4)
Purchasing a Ticket from a Clerk-Operated Terminal:(a)
After the player completes a game slip and submits it along with the price of the ticket to the clerk, the clerk shall use the terminal to issue a ticket to the player.(b)
Alternately, the player may request that a clerk, without using a game slip, electronically submit a player’s game play request through the terminal for a Quick Pick number selection or manually enter the player’s four numbers, and request game play for a single drawing or consecutive drawings. A wager submitted by a clerk through the terminal without a game slip can only be made on the Easy 4 Combo Match Choice.(5)
Purchasing a Ticket from a Player-Operated Terminal: A player may purchase a ticket from a player-operated terminal by following the instructions appearing on the screen of the terminal. Once the player has completed the game slip and inserted it and paid the price of the ticket into the terminal, the terminal will issue a ticket to the player. The player may also request a Quick Pick without using a game slip by using the player-operated terminal. A player requesting a Quick Pick from a player-operated terminal without using a game slip must play the Easy 4 Combo Match Choice and the number of consecutive drawings to be played.(6)
Ticket Restrictions: A player cannot place an “All 4 in Any Order” wager when all 4 numbers are the same, a “First 3 in Any Order” wager when all 3 numbers are the same, or a “Last 3 in Any Order” wager when all 3 numbers are the same. Any of the aforementioned shall be automatically rejected by the terminal.
