LOTTOPOL RULES, TERMS and CONDITIONS

LOTTOPOL consists of three types of exciting games offering more than $500,000,000 in total prizes: The daily LOTTOPOL games where the winning numbers are determined from that days' major league professional sports scores, the annual LOTTOPOL SUPERBOWL $2,000,000 JACKPOT, and finally the $250 million ULTIMATE LOTTOPOL. To enter LOTTOPOLSM you simply pick seven numbers from 0 to 99. Every LOTTOPOLSM ticket is automatically entered in all three LOTTOPOL games. This gives you 3 separate chances to win.

LOTTOPOLSM tickets are absolutely free. We only ask that you respond to a poll question with each ticket you enter. You are a LOTTOPOL winner if the seven numbers from 0 to 99 that you pick is the winning numbers. Your answer to the question has no influence on your chances of winning. ALL QUESTIONS ARE OPTIONAL. You don't have to answer any question if you would rather not do so. Simply select "I would rather not answer that question", You don't even have to pick your numbers to enter. You can use the LOTTOPOLSM QUICK-PICK function if you prefer. The LOTTOPOLSM QUICK-PICK will automatically generate seven random numbers from 0 to 99 for your entry.

HOW LOTTOPOLSM WORKS

Participants receive free LOTTOPOLSM tickets and may respond to poll questions. LOTTOPOLSM is not involved with the sale or promotion of any products or services. No purchase of any product or service is required and participants are not required to be subject to any sales presentations. There is no consideration whatsoever required to participate in LOTTOPOLSM. Answering any questions or providing any other information is strictly optional. An auxiliary website at http://freelotto17.tripod.com/nextg.html is provided where anyone can participate in LOTTOPOLSM without giving any information or identifying himself or herself in any way. (It should be noted that the degree to which participants identify themselves might affect the ability of participants to be notified about any results.)

LOTTOPOL is not a game of chance, as the winning numbers are not generated randomly. There are no "drawings". Prizewinning numbers are determined by the next day's major league sports scores or other specific described methodology. The participants choose a number combination of seven numbers from 0 to 99 on each of their own tickets. An element of skill exists in that knowledge of the likely ranges of sports scores and consequently the patterns of the LOTTOPOLSM numbers that are generated, and therefor the likelihood of which number combinations will be selected by other participants, comprise the skills can be utilized in LOTTOPOLSM. To win a particular game the seven numbers from 0 to 99 on the ticket must match that game's winning number combination. The order of the seven numbers does not matter.

The LOTTOPOL daily games and the annual LOTTOPOLSM SUPERBOWL JACKPOT winning numbers are determined by multiplying as many of the highest major league professional sports scores required to produce a 14 digit number. If all Major League Professional Ball Games scores in descending order are not sufficient to produce a 14-digit number but are sufficient to produce a 13-digit number and/or a 15-digit number, the 13-digit number will be used. If Major League Professional Ball Games scores are not sufficient to produce a 13 digit number, then no LOTTOPOL Number will be calculated and the entries that would have been eligible for that date or period will be eligible for the next date or period which does produce a LOTTOPOL number.

The ULTIMATE LOTTOBOWLSM JACKPOT winning number is first number combination that has not been picked by any other participant and whose entry results in all possible number combinations having been entered. Thus, to win the ULTIMATE LOTTOPOLSM, you must pick a number combination that has not been picked by any other participant, and after that number combination is entered there are no other unpicked number combinations. When the winning ULTIMATE LOTTOPOLSM is determined, any other entry, which also has been only picked by a single participant, will share an additional $250 million runner-up ULTIMATE LOTTOPOLSM Jackpot. All entries remain on file until the ULTIMATE LOTTOPOLSM Jackpot is determined.

Freenet, Inc. specifically retains at all times the right to alter any aspect of the game(s), including but not limited to the method of determination of the winning numbers and the amounts of the prizes to be awarded, at any time prior to actual determination of a winning entry, by making appropriate changes to these official terms and conditions. Freenet, Inc. shall not be required to give any other notice of such changes. Every ticket entered is eligible for one daily LOTTOBOWLSM game, one annual LOTTOPOLSM SUPERBOWL JACKPOT and the ULTIMATE LOTTOPOLSM JACKPOT. Participants are requested to respond to a question with each LOTTOPOLSM ticket they enter. The answer to the question has no influence on your chances of winning. The questions may involve political or social issues as well as commercially useful demographic and consumer preference information. LOTTOPOLSM also intends to include medical and health questions that may provide scientific statistics that could ultimately provide useful information to those engaged in medical research aimed at the development of new treatments and diagnostic techniques. LOTTOPOLSM questions may also at times have the objective of discovering or quantifying side effects of pharmaceutical products. You need not answer any question that you would rather not answer. Your choice to not answer any particular question has no influence on your chances of winning. Responding: "I would rather not answer that question" to any question will not invalidate your entry.

NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER LOTTOPOL , and no purchase is ever necessary to be eligible for any prize. A portion of: the revenues generated from purchases or other commercial transactions by participants, or others through the LottopolSM websites, and the revenue from advertising or polling done in conjunction with LottopolSM, are added to the prize pools.

Any prizes not awarded as a consequence of no participant selecting the winning numbers that day, will be added to the next day's prize, or in the case of the Superbowl grand prize will be added to a subsequent LOTTOPOL prize, either the next Superbowl grand prize or the Ultimate LOTTOPOL prize at the discretion of Freenet, Inc. An entry consists of seven numbers from 0 to 99. To win, the entry's seven two-digit numbers must match the winning numbers for that contest.

NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER LOTTOPOL. Winning numbers for LOTTOPOLSM daily games are determined from the scores of major league professional baseball, basketball and football games. The winning numbers for the Superbowl Grand Prize LOTTOPOLSM game is determined from the scores of the NFL Playoffs and the Superbowl. Entries received prior to midnight E.S.T on December 31st are eligible for the Superbowl Grand Prize LOTTOPOLSM game based on that season's NFL Playoff games and Superbowl. Entries received after midnight E.S.T on December 31st are eligible for the next season's Superbowl Grand Prize LOTTOPOLSM game. The winner of the SUPERBOWL LOTTOPOLSM Grand Prize will receive the prize pool of $2,000,000.00 plus additional amounts that may have been added to the prize pool paid in 25 annual installments.

LOTTOPOL is not associated in any way with the NBA, Major League Baseball, NFL or any team, league or sports organization. LOTTOPOL uses the scores from professional sports events to determine winning numbers in a manner that insures that the wining numbers are determined in an open and unbiased manner.

The winning numbers for the ULTIMATE LOTTOPOL Jackpot Prize is the first entry that results in all of the possible number combinations of entries having been entered. The winning ULTIMATE LOTTOPOL entry will receive $250,000,000.00 in 25 annual installments. Each of the annual installments will be a payment of ten million dollars. An entry whose numbers have not been picked by any other participant prior to determination of the Ultimate LOTTOPOL Prize is a runner-up Ultimate winner. Runner-up Ultimate winners will receive an additional $250,000,000.00 plus additional amounts that may have been added to the runner-up prize pool paid in 25 annual installments. Any prize won by multiple entries will be divided among winners.

Additional monetary jackpots or other prizes may be provided by sponsors to be awarded at times for correctly picking 6 out of the 7 wining numbers. Tickets received prior to midnight E.S.T. are generally eligible for the next day's games. Thus, a ticket received prior to midnight on January 31st would be eligible to win the daily jackpot based on the Major League Professional Ball Games played on February 1st. However, on some days not enough Major League Professional Ball Games are played on a given day to produce a LOTTOPOL number. In those cases the LOTTOPOL tickets that would have been eligible for that day remain eligible for the next day that produces a LOTTOPOL number.

The chances of correctly picking seven two-digit numbers are 1 in 16,007,560,000. The chances of correctly picking 6 out of the 7 wining numbers are 1 in 24,589,180. The odds of correctly picking seven wining two-digit numbers determined by the product of high scores of professional sports events may be significantly improved by those with familiarity with the likely magnitude of the highest scores of any particular game. The chances of correctly picking the last unpicked number and thus winning the Ultimate Lottopol Prize depend on the number of entries submitted.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Participants can select one entry by submitting seven numbers from 0 to 99 and responding to a question. The answer to the question has no influence on your probability of winning. The number of entries permitted per day may be limited. Participants can enter LOTTOPOL either by using the internet or by mail. Tickets received prior to midnight EST are generally eligible for the next day's games, meaning the daily LOTTOPOL Numbers as determined from the Major League Professional Ball Games played on the day after We receive the ticket entry. However, on some days not enough Major League Professional Ball Games are played on a given day to produce a LOTTOPOL number. In those cases the LOTTOPOL tickets that would have been eligible for that day remain eligible for the next day that produces a LOTTOPOL number.
