Re: #22
I did wonder about what rules there may be with regard to buying Lottery Tickets for third parties, but things do seem to be plain and simple...(tickety-boo,
)
(F) Responsibility for Tickets and Play Cards...
...Tickets
"(4) Subject to these Rules (including but without limitation the Ticket Validation Requirements and Rules 4(P) and 4(S)(8)):
(a) until such time as a name and address is placed on a Ticket, the holder of a Ticket which has been issued in accordance with the provisions of these Rules shall be the owner thereof for the purposes of these Rules;
(b) when a name and address is entered on a Ticket the person whose name and address appears there shall be the owner of that Ticket for the purposes of these Rules."
