Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets are bearer instruments. For your protection,

sign the back of your game tickets after purchase. A playslip is neither

a valid receipt nor proof of purchase. Your game ticket, not your

playslip, is the only valid proof of the selection made and the only valid

proof for claiming a prize.

Before you leave the retailer¡¯s location, be sure to verify that the

selections on your ticket are the selections you requested on your

playslip, including bet type, bet amount, the drawings you want to enter

and the numbers you want to play. You have the sole responsibility for

checking the accuracy of the data printed on your ticket(s). Tickets are

valid only for the drawing dates shown on your ticket. The Maryland

State Lottery Agency (¡°Lottery¡± or ¡°Maryland Lottery¡±) is responsible

only for the numbers actually played via the Lottery terminal. Neither the

Lottery, nor Lottery retailers, will be responsible for printing errors.

Pick 3/Pick 4 tickets can be cancelled but only by the same Lottery retailer

who sold the ticket and only on the day of purchase. Any cancellations

must be made prior to game closings. For certain promotions, tickets

may not be able to be cancelled. In general, games close approximately

3 to 5 minutes before the drawing occurs.

By purchasing a Pick 3/Pick 4 ticket, the player agrees that all Maryland

Lottery Pick 3/Pick 4 Game Rules and the rules stated in this brochure

and on the playslip, as well as all Maryland State Lottery Laws, statutes,

regulations, rules, policies, procedures and decisions, and all other

applicable laws, and any changes to any of the above, govern all aspects

of the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games, features, tickets, playslips, claiming,

prizes and payment.

The Lottery is not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed

tickets, tickets redeemed by a Lottery retailer in error, or winning

numbers repeated or displayed in error. All winning tickets are subject

to validation by the Lottery in accordance with Lottery rules and

regulations. Tickets irregular in any manner or failing to meet validation

tests or other requirements are void.

Prizes are not assignable or transferable except as provided by law.

All winnings are subject to state, local and federal taxation. The

Lottery¡¯s liability for void or nonconforming tickets, if any, is limited to
