Rule 30-900 - DESCRIPTION OF THE DC 2 GAME
900.1

The Agency may offer a two (2) digit daily numbers game using a fixed payout known as the DC 2 Game.

900.2

DC 2 Game is a daily two (2) digit game with midday and evening drawings. Players may wager fifty cents (50¢) or one dollar ($1) for two (2) digits ranging from 0 to 9 on any of the following bet types:

(a) Straight: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved only when the two-digit number specified by the player matches in exact order with the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event;

For example, if the winning number is "12" then only the bets placed on "12" in that exact order shall be winners.

(b) Two-Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of two (2) different digits specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of two (2) wagers for a single- unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "12" then box bets placed on "12" or "21" shall be winners.

(c) Straight/Two-Way Box: A wager whereby the player can place a straight bet and a two-way box bet for the same number on a single ticket. The player can win on both the straight and box bets when the two digits specified by the player match in exact order the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. The player can win on the box portion when any other combination of the two (2) digits selected by the player matches the winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. Wagers are limited to fifty cents (50¢) on the straight portion and fifty cents (50¢) on the box portion for a total of one dollar ($1) per ticket;

For example, if the winning number is "12" then only bets placed on "12" in that exact order will be winners on both portions of the ticket. However, bets placed on "21" will be winners in the box portion only.

(d) Two-Way Combination: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of two (2) digits (with any two (2) different digits) specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of two (2) straight wagers on a single ticket at two (2) times the base cost;

For example, if the winning number is "12" then a combination bet placed on "12" (i.e."21") will be a winner of a straight bet.

(e) Front Number: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when the first digit specified by the player matches exactly with the first digit of the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of ten (10) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "12," then only bets placed on "1X" will be winners.

(f) Back Number: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when the last digit specified by the player matches exactly with the last digit of the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of ten (10) wagers for a single-unit ticket cost;

For example, if the winning number is "12," then only bets placed on "X2" will be winners.

900.3

The price of a DC 2 Game ticket shall be fifty cents (50¢) or one dollar ($1) per board or any other price designated by the Executive Director from a price schedule adopted by the Agency.

900.4

If a single ticket contains more than one (1) winning play on separate game boards, the prize amounts shall be added together and shall be paid in accordance with the prize payment limits.

900.5

A ticket subject to the validations requirements of this title shall be the only proof of a wager.

900.6

DC 2 exchange tickets are valid beginning with the next draw through the last draw on the original DC 2 Ticket.
