1. (a) All instant lottery tickets ordered by retailer and accepted from OLC or its authorized distributor are deemed to be purchased by retailer at the price established by OLC, less appropriate retailer commissions and/or OLC approved adjustments.
2. (b) Retailers shall be responsible for all packs of instant tickets once received on an official Lottery terminal. Instant games can be returned to the OLC for credit based on market criteria such as game end, poor sales or changes in retailer inventory levels. All packs of instant games are due for return 90 days after the announcement of an official game end by the OLC. Any packs not returned by that date will be charged to the retailer. The Oklahoma Lottery reserves the right to issue a late credit to a retailer at their sole discretion.
3. (c) While retailers will bear the responsibility of all instant games, the OLC will provide credit to retailers under the following circumstances…
4. (1) Active packs or tickets – full credit will be provided only if tickets are returned during the games’ lifecycle and before 90 days after official game end announcement
5. (2) Stolen active packs or ticket – any stolen tickets must be immediately reported to the OLC. The Retailer will be required to fill out the required OLC Security documentation in order to receive a credit. The OLC reserves the right to modify the credit amount based on the results of the security investigation.
6. (3) Damaged active packs or tickets - full credit will be provided only if tickets are returned during the games’ lifecycle and before 90 days after official game end announcement
7. (d) Missing or lost packs or tickets must be reported to the OLC’s security department upon discovery. A $25 administrative fee will be assessed per occurrence. If a retailer finds that the report of lost or missing tickets was in error, the OLC must be notified immediately, and the $25 fee will be credited back.
8. (e) All inactive packs of tickets can be returned at any time; credit will not be provided since there is no financial burden for an inactive pack.
