| (a) All or Nothing™ .
The executive director is authorized to conduct a game known as "All
or Nothing." The executive director may issue further directives for
the conduct of All or Nothing that are consistent with this rule.
In the case of conflict, this rule takes precedence over §401.304
of this title (relating to Draw Game Rules (General)).
(b) Object of the Game. The object of the game is to
either select as many or as few numbers that match the 12 numbers
drawn in the drawing. If a player matches more than 7 (seven) or fewer
than 5 (five) numbers drawn in the drawing, the player wins a prize.
(See the prize schedule chart in subsection (g) of this section.)
If the player matches all 12 numbers drawn in the drawing, or does
not match any numbers drawn in the drawing, the player wins the Top
Prize. If more than one ticket has been sold in which a player has
matched all or none of the numbers drawn in the drawing, each player
possessing such ticket shall win the Top Prize.
(c) Definitions. In addition to the definitions provided
in §401.301 of this title (relating to General Definitions),
and unless the context in this rule otherwise requires, the following
definitions apply.
(1) Play--The selection of twelve different numbers
from 1 to 24 for one opportunity to win in All or Nothing and the
purchase of a ticket evidencing that selection.
(2) Playboard--A field of 24 numbers from 1 to 24 found
on the playslip.
(d) Plays and tickets.
(1) A ticket may be sold only by a retailer and only
at the location listed on the retailer's license. A ticket sold by
a person other than a retailer is not valid.
(2) The price of an individual play is $2.
(3) A player may use a single playslip or other commission-approved
method of play to purchase the same play(s) for up to 24 consecutive
drawings, to begin with the next drawing after the purchase.
(4) A retailer shall issue a ticket as evidence of
one or more plays. A ticket must show the numbers selected for each
play, the number of plays, the draw date(s) and time(s) for which
the plays were purchased, the cost of the ticket and the security
and transaction serial numbers. Tickets must be printed on official
Texas Lottery paper stock, or, for third-party point-of-sale systems
approved by the commission, printed on paper stock or otherwise issued
in a manner approved by the commission to provide tangible evidence
of participation in a lottery game.
(5) An unsigned winning ticket is payable to the holder
or bearer of the ticket if the ticket meets all applicable validation
requirements.
(e) Drawings.
(1) All or Nothing drawings will be held four times
a day, (at 10:00 a.m., 12:27 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 10:12 p.m. Central
Time) six days a week (Monday through Saturday). The executive director
may change the drawing schedule, if it is deemed necessary.
(2) Twelve different numbers from 1 to 24 shall be
drawn at each All or Nothing drawing.
(3) Numbers drawn must be certified by the commission
in accordance with the commission's draw procedures.
(4) The numbers selected in a drawing shall be used
to determine all winners for that drawing.
(5) A drawing will not be invalidated based on the
financial liability of the lottery.
(f) Announcement of incentive or bonus program. The
executive director shall announce each incentive or bonus program
prior to its commencement. The announcement shall specify the beginning
and ending time, if applicable, of the incentive or bonus program
and the value for the award.
(g) Prizes.
(1) The Top Prize.
(A) Each person who holds a valid ticket for a play
matching (in any order) the twelve numbers drawn in a drawing, or
matching none of the twelve numbers drawn in a drawing is entitled
to a top prize in the amount of $250,000; provided that, in any drawing
where the number of top prize winning plays is greater than twenty
(20), the top prize shall be paid on a pari-mutuel rather than fixed
prize basis and a liability cap of $5 million will be divided equally
by the number of top prize winning plays. For purposes of prize calculation
with respect to the pari-mutuel prize, the calculation shall be rounded
down so that prizes shall be paid in multiples of one dollar. Any
part of the top pari-mutuel prize for a drawing that is not paid in
prizes (breakage) shall be applied to offset prize expense. All other
prizes are in amounts for matching or non-matching selections as shown
in the following chart. All prizes are paid in cash.

(B) All payments shall be made upon completion of commission
validation procedures.
(C) A claim for any prize of $600 or more must be presented

the highest prize for that play.
