   4. The Corporation assumes no responsibility for communicating to a player that there is, or is not, a purchase confirmation (accurate, inaccurate or otherwise) displayed within their player account.

   3.  

   4. Prize Structure and Payment of Prizes

   1. 4.1 The Corporation (or the ILC, if applicable) shall determine a prize structure for a lottery game and, once determined, such prize structure shall form part of these Rules. 
   2. 4.2 The prize structure for lottery games shall be set out in the Game Conditions for that lottery game which are available on OLG.ca.
   3. 4.3 A prize for any draw shall be awarded to the winner in accordance with the prize structure in effect for such draw and in accordance with the Regulations, the Rules, the ILC Rules (if applicable), the specific Game Conditions and the Player Agreement. 
   4. 4.4 The Corporation reserves the right to satisfy itself as to the validity of any prize claim or ticket, by means of such authentication and validation tests, requirements and procedures as it may from time to time determine, and to declare that a prize claim or ticket that does not pass, meet, or fulfill such tests, requirements or procedures is void.
   5. 4.5 All prizes must be claimed within 12 months of the relevant draw (except where prizes are paid automatically to the winner), unless otherwise specified by the Corporation. Any unclaimed prizes after such period shall be forfeited and shall not be awarded.
   6. 4.6 A prize, including an annuity prize, will only be paid to the registered player, unless the Corporation’s Lottery Prize Centre determines otherwise in accordance with the Corporation’s prize claim policy and procedures. If group play or multiple ownership has been indicated on an iGaming lottery prize claim declaration form, the Corporation’s Lottery Prize Centre will determine eligibility for the payment of the prize, including any annuity prize, and may elect to issue a single cash payment for an annuity prize.
   7. 4.7 The Corporation may refuse to send or forward a prize to an address outside Canada and will not send or forward a prize to an address in any jurisdiction where such sending or forwarding is prohibited by law.
   8. 4.8 The value of a non-monetary prize shall be determined by the Corporation. The Corporation reserves the right to substitute a non-monetary prize with another non-monetary prize or money prize. The Corporation will not give any warranties or guarantees of any kind when awarding a non-monetary prize. The awarding of non-monetary prizes may be subject to additional terms, conditions or restrictions.
   9. 4.9  The Corporation may offer a winner of a non-monetary prize the option of a substitute cash prize of a value determined solely by the Corporation which may be equal to or lesser than the value of the non-monetary prize.
   10. 4.10  A winner of an annuity prize may have the option of a single cash payment in lieu of periodic payments. The single cash payment will be a fixed amount determined by the Corporation, regardless of certain factors such as the age and gender of the winner, and will extinguish the winner’s entitlement to all annuity payments. The prize option chosen by the winner shall be final and binding, and such choice must be made by the winner within the time frame specified by the Corporation.
   11. 4.11  If an annuity prize winner resides outside Ontario at the time of the claim, or if the Corporation foresees any present or future difficulty for the Corporation in processing the annuity prize, the Corporation reserves the right to award a single cash payment in lieu of annuity payments. 
   12. 4.12 If an annuity prize winner who selected the annuity payments option dies prior to the conclusion of the 20-year minimum annuity period, or such other minimum annuity period set out in the Game Conditions for that lottery game, the Corporation may, at its sole option, permit a person who is the winner’s beneficiary to receive the annuity payments for the balance of such minimum annuity period, and the Corporation may require such information and written consents from such beneficiary (and the beneficiary will be deemed to have given the same representations, warranties and indemnities and be subject to the same restrictions and limitations) as if the beneficiary had been the winner under the Rules. If such beneficiary also dies prior to the conclusion of the original winner’s minimum annuity period, the Corporation may elect not to permit any other person to receive any annuity payments.
   13. 4.13 Neither a prize (or portion thereof), nor any entitlement or payment relating to it, may be assigned, transferred, sold, loaned, leased, rented, pledged, mortgaged or hypothecated, by any winner. The Corporation may assign to one or more third parties the responsibility to pay or award annuity prizes. The Corporation will not be liable for any acts or omissions of such third parties (including, without limitation, total or partial non-payment). 
   14. 4.14 The Corporation is not responsible for providing financial or tax advice. However, for a lottery game that offers annuity prizes, the Corporation may calculate the gross amount of each of the annuity payments based on the highest marginal provincial (Ontario) and federal (Canada) income tax rate applying to Ontario residents, but the Corporation may use any other basis which it considers fair to both the Corporation and the winner.
   15. 4.15 The Corporation incurs no liability toward anyone in the case of an act of God, fortuitous event or force majeure. In such circumstance the Corporation may (i) cancel or suspend all or part of any lottery game; (ii) reschedule draw time(s); (iii) temporarily amend its policies and procedures (including prize claim policies and procedures); and/or (iv) issue instructions that it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to ensure the integrity or proper operation of lottery game(s). Subject to paragraph 5.5, in all other cases, whether the liability is contractual or in tort, including negligence on the part of the Corporation or its third party providers (including iGaming vendors and iGaming entities) or their respective employees, the liability of the Corporation is limited, if the claim is based on a valid winning ticket, to the prize value of such ticket. If the claim is not based on a valid winning ticket, the liability of the Corporation is limited to the amount paid for the ticket.
   16. 4.16 Where the amount of a prize payable to a winner requires a calculation by the Corporation, the calculation by the Corporation of the amount of the prize shall be final and binding. Rounding may occur throughout the calculation process. In making the calculations, the Corporation shall express the quotient resulting from such division in dollars and cents with the number of cents being rounded to the nearest ten cents. Where the number of cents is less than five, the number shall be rounded down and where the number of cents is five or more, the number shall be rounded up. 
   17. 4.17 The Corporation will not award a prize for tickets that are void unless the Corporation, in its sole discretion, deems it appropriate to do so. Tickets are void if unissued, altered, counterfeited, forged, misregistered, cancelled, produced in error, not recorded in the central computer system, incomplete, a Chargeback (as defined in the Player Agreement) occurs, not paid for, payment is not received or debited, or issued or acquired in violation of the Act, the Regulations, the Rules, the ILC Rules (if applicable), the Game Conditions or the Player Agreement. Void tickets are the property of the Corporation.
   18. 4.18 The Corporation may elect not to award a prize for a ticket if the Corporation, in its sole discretion, has reasonable grounds to believe that a player has engaged or participated, at any time, in any form of collusion, cheating, unfair, fraudulent, or criminal activity in any way relating to OLG.ca. Subject to paragraph 4.19, in the event that a ticket is void, or deemed to be void, the Corporation may, at its sole option: 
       1. replace the ticket with another unplayed ticket for the selection; 
       2. replace the ticket with a new selection; or
       3. provide a refund in the amount paid for the void ticket.
   19. 4.19 Any purported prize awarded on a void ticket without the Corporation’s authorization shall at all times remain the property of the Corporation.
   20.  

   5. Claims

   1. 5.1 The Corporation may award a prize to the player. The Corporation reserves the right to satisfy itself that a claimant is entitled, and will remain entitled, to a prize and is the registered player who purchased the winning ticket through their player account.

   3. 5.3  A winner is deemed to represent and warrant to the Corporation (at the time the prize is claimed and at the time of the payment of each and every portion of the prize, if applicable) that: (a) they are the registered player who purchased the winning ticket through their player account; (b) the Regulations, Rules, ILC Rules (if applicable), applicable Game Conditions, instructions and Player Agreement have been complied with; and (c) notwithstanding paragraph 5.2, upon payment or receipt of the prize (and any portion thereof), they are deemed to release, indemnify and save the Corporation harmless from any and all claims of every kind with respect to the prize (and every portion thereof), the calculation thereof, and the awarding thereof (including any income taxes and related penalties and fines). Such representation and warranty shall survive the awarding of the prize, and the Corporation may in its sole discretion set off any portion of the prize in furtherance of such indemnity. The Corporation may, without liability, rely solely on the personal information contained in a player account and any iGaming lottery prize claim declaration form to determine that the player is the person who purchased the winning ticket and to determine entitlement to payment of any prize.
   4. 5.4  Each claimant acknowledges that the Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, during the prize claim process, require certain personal information from the claimant and that the collection of such information is necessary to the proper administration of the Corporation’s lotteries.

   5. 5.5  The Corporation shall not be responsible for determining any person’s entitlement to all or a part of a prize won on a ticket purchased by or issued to a player on behalf of a group or for compliance with any laws that may prohibit or restrict groups playing lotteries, and the Corporation shall not be liable in any way (whether in contract, negligence or otherwise) to any person for any damages they may suffer as a result of their playing a lottery game as a member of a group.
