4.0 PRIZES
4.1 The Corporation shall determine from time to time a prize structure for PRO•LINE POOLS in such manner as it deems fit and, once determined, such prize structure shall form part of these rules.
4.2 The winning tickets for each pool are determined by identifying the tickets with the most number of correct picks among all PRO•LINE POOLS tickets for each winning tier. The tiers are defined as 1) the tickets with the most number of wins for a PRO•LINE POOLS pool and 2) the tickets with the second most number of wins for a PRO•LINE POOLS pool. The prize pool, as stated earlier, is defined as sixty percent of the sales generated from a PRO•LINE POOLS card. The first tier will receive 70% of the total prize pool with a minimum prize of $10. The 2nd tier will receive the other 30% with a minimum prize of $5. In the event that there is more than one ticket with the most number of correct picks or second most number of picks, the prize amount for that prize tier will be equally divided amongst all the winners. The winning ticket prize for the 1st tier will be at least double that of the 2nd tier winning ticket. In the event that a winning ticket prize from the 1st tier is not double that of a winning ticket prize in the 2nd tier or the second tier is less than the minimum, ALC will change the percentage (from the original 70/30 percentage split) each tier receives in order to guarantee that the 1st tier will receive double and that all minimum prizes are met.
