Section B: EURO-JOKER and DREAM-JOKER
§1 Participation, general regulations
(1) Participation in the 130th lottery game held by the SKL is solely based upon the Official Lottery Programme
and the Official Lottery Rules set forth herein.
(2) The 130th lottery game commences
December 1st, 2011 and will cover a period of six months until May 31st, 2012.
Each month is the equivalent of a class. The number of prizes and the amount
of the prizes to be won increase from class to class. In order to participate
in the lottery a valid SKL ticket is mandatory.
(3) The number of tickets issued will be 3.0 million, from
0,000,001 to 3,000,000. During the lottery period these tickets will have
the chance to win up to 1,707,223 individual prizes with a total prize-sum
of 883,000,000 € and on top of this up to 60 prizes drawn in a special draw worth
up to 1.112 Million €.
(4) Tickets are issued as whole or ticket shares with a
value of 10% each. Ticket shares are numbered in continuous sequence from
1 to 10 (share designation). The prizes designated in the Official Lottery
Rules are calculated upon a whole ticket. Ticket shares win according to
the amount of their shares.
(5) Tickets are issued in different forms:
a) as "original tickets": These tickets have their ticket number
and the share designation printed on them;
b) as "ticket certificates": These may contain several ticket numbers
played in the lottery taken together with their respective share designation
played in the lottery;
c) as "virtual tickets": The ticket number(s) is/are solely stored
in the SKL database, but are informally communicated to the participant.
(6) The ticket sale takes place exclusively in the contracting
countries, it is organised by the State Lottery collections (LC) and official
ticket offices (TO) in the name and for the account of the SKL. Upon sending
a ticket to the participant, the LC/TO presents a binding offer; punctual
payment is considered as accepting this offer. The lottery contract is concluded
between the SKL and the lottery participant. The contract comes into force
when the full ticket price has been paid in time (see § 2 clause 2) and
has been recorded as valid ticket in the database of the SKL administration.
(7) In general, tickets are issued for each class separately.
In due time prior to the commencement of a consecutive class the LC/TO in
charge offers the participant a ticket (or the number of tickets held by
the participant) with the same ticket number and the same share designations
as in the current class (exception: cf. § 3 clause 1). Accordingly, the
participant must be offered the renewed participation in the following 130th lottery game held by the SKL. The participant is free to accept these offers.
(8) Under aged persons (persons younger than 18 years)
are not allowed to participate. [to the top]
§2 Stakes, payment details
(1) The price of a whole ticket for participation
in draws starting with the first class is € 150,00 per month. Accordingly,
each ticket share costs € 15,00 per month.
(2) In order to be eligible to win as from the first draw
of a class, the full ticket price must have been purchased and the full
price paid to the LC/TO on time, or credited to one of its bank accounts
and have learnt about the credited account. The ticket price will moreover
be deemed paid in time if the ticket holder has given order to debit an
account he is authorised to use or has authorised the LC/TO prior to the
start of the draw to debit an account he is authorised to use and provided
the debit procedure does not fail, or is delayed, for reasons for which
the ticket holder is responsible. The participant has only got the right
to win the prizes in the respective draws if he does not contradict formally
to a debit procedure afterwards. Sentences 2 and 3 shall apply to debiting
procedures via credit card respectively.
(3) In case of a belated payment the LC/TO is no longer
bound by its offer. If the belated payment is accepted nevertheless, the
ticket will be valid on the day following the acceptance of the payment.
(4) If a participant wants to take part in the lottery
with several ticket numbers or/and several ticket shares and his payment
has not been made in full, the following rules will be applied: an incomplete
payment or remaining credit that may help render at least a part of his
tickets valid and thus able to win a prize, will be accredited in the following
(provided that there are no other regulations set forth by the participant):
a) to whole tickets,
b) to tickets with several shares (in descending order),
c) to tickets with just one ticket share. In case of several tickets
with the same value the one with the lowest ticket number will be considered
to be paid.
(5) For those tickets purchased after the commencement
of the lottery game, participants will have to pay the price for the current
class as well as for the preceding classes as the offer of the prizes to
be won increases dynamically and is based solely on a participation in all
six classes. The same applies to renewal tickets (cf. § 3 clause 2).
(6) Expenses incurred in connection with mailing the tickets
and the Official List of winning numbers shall be borne by the ticket holder.
LC/TO and the ticket holder can agree on a lump sum to cover costs, with
specification of the services - apart from sending the Official List of
winning numbers - to be rendered for this amount. [to

§3 Elimination of ticket numbers, renewal tickets
(1) All tickets winning a prize in the
first Saturday-draw of the month of the classes 1-5 will be withdrawn from
further draws for the 130th lottery at the end of the
class. All tickets winning a prize in the first Saturday-draw of the 6th
class will be withdrawn on the following Friday and all tickets winning
a prize in the second Saturday-draw will be withdrawn from further draws
on the following Friday. All other tickets - even if they have already won
a prize - will remain in the lottery until May 31st, 2012.
(2) The LC/TO are to immediately offer the participant
a renewal ticket with a new ticket number and the same number of ticket
shares as the old ticket for him to be able to continue his participation
after his ticket number has been withdrawn. Basically, the price for such
a renewal ticket is covered by the prizes won so far in the current lottery
game. The participation is free to accept this offer or not. An accepted
renewal ticket participates in the current class as of the next Saturday-draw.
(3) Following the last draw of each class, there will be
an additional draw, called "Double Chance Draw". Valid ticket numbers are
those which have not yet been withdrawn at the time of the draw (cf. clause
1) and the ticket numbers that have not won anything in the lottery in the
general lottery in the respective class in which the draw will be held.
Tickets that have won a chance to participate as a candidate in an SKL special
draw (cf. §5, clause 4), are valid for the additional draw.

§4 Draw procedure, termination of winning numbers
(1) In general, the winning numbers are
drawn by numerated balls and a lottery raffle drum. Different drawing procedures
may be applied, as long as the principle of chance is safeguarded.

(4) The outcome of the drawing procedures will be officially
taken down and is binding for the transmission of prizes. The SKL management
has the final decision on the validity of a draw, recourse to legal action
being excluded.
(5) Each winner will immediately be notified by his LC/TO.
Furthermore, all winning numbers will be presented in the Official Lists
of winning numbers published on a monthly base. [to

§5 Payment of prizes and forfeiture of unclaimed prizes
(1) In order to claim the prize won, the

part. Replacement candidates are to be accepted only in exceptional situations
- the reasons for which have been presented and the SKL management gives

§6 Liability provisions
(1) The SKL shall not bear any liability
for damages caused by force majeure, the malfunctioning or disruption of
technical equipment used by the SKL for reading, transferring, storing or

bears no liability for any culpable or negligent behaviour on part of LC/TO
or any other third party according to § 309 no. 7b) German Civil Code; this
does not apply in case of any harm done to life, body or health.
(2) Rights and obligations resulting from a prepayment
