Posting of Prizes Awarded

The posting of major paper pull-tab prizes is optional, although the Gambling Control Board has the authority to require it. 

Organizations may post the major prizes awarded for all, some, or none of the games in play. If only some games are posted, clearly identify which games are posted and which are not. Include the organization’s posting policies in the house rules. 

Posting of major winners only informs a player of the number of major prizewinning paper pull-tab tickets that have been redeemed. It does not guarantee that all prizes that have not been posted still remain in the deal. For example, some paper pull-tab tickets may have been sold but not yet redeemed by players, and others may have been thrown away by mistake by players. 

If posting, an organization is required to: 

  1. Post all major prizes. A major prize is defined as any prize that is at least 50 times the face value of a paper pull-tab in the deal. Example: $ .50 ticket x 50 = $25 prizes; 
  2. Post the information prominently at the point of sale; and 
  3. Post or mark off each major prize immediately upon awarding the prize. 

Examples of where posted How posted
On the flare Mark or cross off the redeemed major prizes, being careful not to totally cover up the prize amounts.
On a sheet of paper On a sheet of paper, clearly identifying the games, list all the major prizes and then cross them off as they are redeemed.
On an erasable board Copy the major prizes onto the board, and cross or erase them off as they are redeemed.
On a posting board Write the major prizes on the board as they are redeemed.
