Current through Register No. 36, September 5, 2024
Section Lot 7107.02 - Randomization
(a) Winning lucky 7 tickets shall be distributed and mixed among all other tickets in a deal to eliminate any patterns between deals or portion of deals from which the location or approximate location of any winning lucky 7 ticket may be determined.
(b) To ensure randomization the manufacturer shall:
(1) Assemble pre-printed deals so that no placement of winning or losing lucky 7 ticket exists that allows the possibility of prize manipulation or pick out, as follows:
a. Deals shall be assembled so that winning tickets are placed randomly throughout each deal; and
b. Deals are assembled and packaged in a manner that prevents isolation of winning tickets due to variations in printing, graphics, colors, sizes, appearances of cut edges, or other marking of lucky 7 ticket;
(2) Utilize testing procedures to validate the randomness of the winning tickets within a deal, as well as randomness of winning positions across units of tickets;
(3) Shuffle electronically generated lucky 7 tickets using a method that has successfully passed a standard test for randomness and unpredictability, to a confidence level of 99 percent including, but not limited to, one of the following:
a. Chi-square test;
b. Run test; or
c. Serial correlation test; and
(4) Utilize a random number generator or random selection process that is impervious to electromagnetic interference, electrostatic interference, radio frequency interference, and other influences from outside the system or device that might affect the game outcome.
