(2)Subrule (1) does not apply to a receipted ticket that —

will be paid in a manner determined by the Commission to the person named, and to the player’s e‑wallet or to the bank details recorded against that player’s Lotterywest membership number.

(4)Payment of a prize entitlement under subrule (2) or (3) discharges the liability of the Commission in relation to any particular winning receipted ticket that is endorsed with a Lotterywest membership number, and possession by a subscriber of a Lotterywest membership card does not entitle the subscriber to claim a prize from the Commission that has already been paid.

[Rule 15 amended: Gazette 4 Oct 2017 p. 5112‑13.]

16.Information on playslips
