The identifying information from a Qualifying Ticket may be submitted only once in the Game. No other method of submission will be accepted, and entries submitted using any other method, including entries mailed or hand-delivered to the Pennsylvania Lottery, are not valid and will be disqualified.

This game may reveal a predetermined cash prize, or a predetermined prize that triples the number of entries the entrant receives for the ticket submitted (hereafter the ''Entry Tripler Prize''). Each Qualifying Ticket will have a predetermined ticket file assigned at the time the ticket is printed that will determine the outcome of the non-prize-determinative game play.
