- A Client may only bet on a unique 7-number combination. In other words, 2 Clients may not have a Charity Lottery Bet in respect of the same 7 numbers in the same order. This unique entry requirement means that in some instances a Client may not be able to select his or her first choice of 7 numbers.
- If a Client wishes to pick a 7-number combination already selected by another Client, Charity Lottery will endeavour to advise the Client of the inability to proceed with the selection and Charity Lottery will not accept the selection for that combination.
- In the event that a system fault occurs and the same numbers are selected by more than one Client in a single Charity Lottery event resulting in a tie for the same place (payout) on 7/7, all applicable tickets will be paid at face value of the ticket divided by the number of Clients tying for that placing (payout).

- the numbers are stored by the Client in the Client's account; and

- If the Client selects the correct value for 2 or more cities, the Client wins a payout subject to the following payout table:
# OF CITIES CORRECT PAYOUT
7 $1,000,000
6 $1
5 $1
4 $1
3 $1
2 $1
- If a Client's 7-number combination is capable of being correct in more than one way, the Client will win a payout in respect of which result results in the most number of correct cities only. For example, if the Client picks the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and the numbers 1, 1-2 and 1-2-3 are correct for 1, 2 and 3 cities respectively, the payout will only be awarded in respect of 3 cities.

- the first alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 11 AM in that city, Charity Lottery will use the temperature reported at 11 AM in that city at the second alternative weather station.
- the second alternative weather station does not report any temperature for a particular day of the event at 11 AM in that city, Charity Lottery will reschedule the event to another day before the next week's event, in which case the temperatures will be determined with reference to the temperatures recorded at the designated weather stations for that day (using the procedure in this clause 65a to determine the temperature in a situation where a designated weather station does not report).
