3.2 Draw Component

(a) Unless otherwise announced by WCLC, on every day from Monday to Sunday, inclusive, WCLC shall cause five (5) cards to be drawn at random from a standard deck of playing cards. The five (5) cards drawn are referred to as the “drawn cards” for the draw component of the game.

(b) Winning Selections as a result of any draw are determined as follows:

Winning Selection CONSISTS OF

5/5 the five drawn cards

4/5 any four drawn cards and one other card*

3/5 any three drawn cards and two other cards*

2/5 any two drawn cards and three other cards*

*”other card” means any card which is not a drawn card

(c) Any valid ticket for any draw bearing any Winning Selection of such draw is a winning ticket and entitles its holder(s) to claim, for each such Winning Selection, a prize calculated in accordance with the following:

Winning Selection PRIZE

5/5 $100,000 (1)

4/5 $100

3/5 $10

2/5 $2

(1) For each draw, if there are four or more 5/5 Winning Selections, the single cash payment prizes of $100,000 will not be available, and each prize in that prize category will be paid as a single cash payment determined by dividing $300,000 by the number of 5/5 Winning Selections for that draw, provided that cents are rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

4. Cancellation of Ticket

4.1 A ticket cannot be cancelled by a retailer. 5. Prize Claims

5.1 Prizes must be claimed within one year following the draw printed on the ticket in the manner stated on the back of the ticket.

5.2 A winning ticket for a POKER LOTTO Instant Prize and if applicable an ALL IN Prize may be redeemed before the draw corresponding to that ticket. When a winning ticket for a POKER LOTTO Instant Prize and if applicable an ALL IN Prize is redeemed before the corresponding draw, the POKER LOTTO Instant Prize and if applicable the ALL IN Prize will be paid and a replacement ticket bearing the same Hand(s) as the original ticket will be issued for the corresponding draw component and upon such replacement ticket being issued, the original ticket will become void. For further certainty, the replacement ticket is only eligible to win a prize in the corresponding draw component.
