 11. Unclaimed prize money: For a period of 1 year from the announced close of Gimme 5, prize money from winning Gimme 5 instant lottery game tickets will be retained by the Secretary for payment to the persons entitled thereto.

 13. Termination of the game: The Secretary may announce a termination date, after which no further tickets from this game may be sold. The announcement will be disseminated through media used to advertise or promote Gimme 5 or through normal communications methods.
