(2) A player shall only be eligible to participate in the draws for any given KLN-game class and entitled to associated winnings: (a) if the lottery ticket price has been paid in the manner, within the timeframe and in the full amount indicated at paragraphs 3, 5 and 6 of this section 6, or as otherwise determined and communicated to the player by ELBL and/or the service provider from time to time; and (b) if the transaction has been stored in the ELBL database prior to the beginning of the first draw of that class.
(3) A ticket shall be deemed to have been paid on time if, at the latest, by the end of the penultimate working day (excluding Saturdays) before the beginning of a draw (in any class) (the “Payment Deadline”) the price of such ticket(s) has been received and acknowledged by ELBL or the service provider from the player: (a) in cash, by postal order or by bank transfer; (b) by way of a check (only where the ticket price is being paid directly to the service provider) and such check payment has not and does not subsequently fail; (c) where ELBL or the service provider is authorized to and has successfully collected the ticket price directly from the player’s account via direct debit and such payment is not subsequently withdrawn or otherwise cancelled by the player; or (d) by credit card, provided that such payment is not subsequently withdrawn or otherwise cancelled by the player. Where a ticket has been deemed to have been paid but is withdrawn or otherwise cancelled after the start of a class, such ticket shall be null and void even if it has won a prize in any draw which may have already taken place.
(4) After the Payment Deadline defined in section (3) above (and if the ticket price has been paid in full by the Payment Deadline), the participation in the KLN-game begins on the day of the next main draw or the next major draw or Final Million draw or the Jackpot draw of the 6th class or the anniversary special draw.
(5) In case of incomplete payment for the lottery ticket price, the player shall not be entitled to participate in the relevant draw or, where a ticket has already been issued, such ticket shall be null and void. ELBL or the service provider may keep the part of the paid amount, which is insufficient for the payment of the lottery ticket.

If there are several ticket numbers with the same split, the paid amount will be used for the tickets with the lowest ticket numbers. § 13 (4) and § 3 (2) in part 2 of these terms and conditions shall remain unaffected. For the rest, section (5) applies.
§ 7 Continuation, Ending and Transferring the lottery participation
(1) Each ticket is only valid for the class it belongs to. To continue the participation in the KLN-game, the service provider who provided the ticket for the preliminary class will offer the player a ticket with the same number and the same letter for the next class (renewal ticket). The player is not obliged to accept/buy the renewal ticket.
(2) If the player can’t participate in the KLN-game with a renewal ticket despite the timely payment of the ticket price and therefore the continued usage of the previous ticket number is not possible, the player is entitled to participate for free with twice the amount of tickets he is entitled to, with other numbers, for all subsequent classes. The liability regulations of § 12 (1) apply.
(3) Unless a player has stated otherwise, the service provider will generally (but shall not have an obligation to) offer a player of the 6th class KLN-game the same ticket number/s for the 1st class of the next KLN-game series, unless the player has stated otherwise.

The participation in the KLN-game can be terminated before each class by ELBL, even if the ticket price has already been paid. In this case ELBL or the corresponding service provider will reimburse the ticket price.
(5) The transfer of the claims out of these terms and conditions requires the consent of the service provider. The consent is granted and the new claimant will be registered in accordance with § 5 (2) if he fulfils the participation requirements.
§ 8 Determination of Winnings
(1) In case of cash prizes, ELBL pays to the player the same amount that the player would have received if he would have taken part directly in the NKL-underlying lottery with the same lottery ticket number and size of ticket.
(2) Where known to ELBL and/or the service provider, the draw locations and times of the NKL-underlying lottery will be communicated to the player upon request. Neither ELBL or the service provider operate or are otherwise associated with the operating of the NKL-underlying lottery and neither shall have any liability whatsoever in relation to any matters arising directly or indirectly from the NKL-underlying lottery.
(3) In the KLN-game, winnings are determined by comparing the tickets that have been registered for the respective draw with ELBL and the respective draw results of the NKL-underlying lottery. Depending on the prize tier, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- or 7-digit numbers of the NKL-underlying lottery are drawn. For the prize tiers from € 1,000,000 and prize tiers with less than 50 winners as well as for non-cash prizes, 7-digit winning numbers are drawn. For all other prize tiers, only the last digits of the winning numbers are drawn. In case of non-cash prizes, the winning letters will be drawn in addition to the numbers.
(4) For the Jackpot draw of class 1-5, the NKL-underlying lottery operates a pre-draw, in which a number between 0 and 9 is drawn. If the number 0 is drawn in this pre-draw, then a 7-digit winning number will be determined straight afterwards and another € 10,000,000 is added to the Jackpot for the next class, so the classic Jackpot draw takes place. If either 1 to 9 is drawn, the Jackpot draw does not take place and the prize of the respective jackpot draw will be added to the jackpot draw of the next tier. In the 6th class a 7-digit number will always be determined without any pre-draw.
§ 9 Winning tickets
(1) Ticket numbers which are drawn as winning numbers of the KLN-game stay in the KLN-game. This does not apply to the 4 super draws in 6th class; these lottery ticket numbers will be eliminated from the KLN-game before the day of the next super draw or in the 4th super draw before the day of the Jackpot draw of 6th class.
(2) To allow a player to continue playing the KLN-game, the service provider will regularly offer the player the ability to purchase or participate with a ticket number/s still active at the time in the KLN-game (“connection ticket”).
(3) The price for a connection ticket consists of an amount equal to the aggregate price of a ticket for the current class and the preliminary classes.
(4) With the connection ticket, the player will participate from the day of the next major draw of the KLN-game or the classic Jackpot draw of 6th class, if the payment of the ticket price has been received and stored before the draw – according to § 6 (2) and (3).
§ 10 Notification of Winnings
(1) In the event of a win, the player shall receive a winning notification from the service provider. In addition, ELBL winning numbers and winning letters will be announced in the ELBL winning list, which can also be made available by the service provider.

(2) The cash prizes and Goldbar prizes outlined in the winning plan refer to whole lottery tickets, except for non-cash prizes, which go undivided to the correct 7-digit number including the correct letter.

§ 12 Liability/Complaints procedure
(1) ELBL shall not be liable to a player for damages resulting from a service provider’s grossly negligent breach of duty or intentional or negligent breach of pre-contractual or contractual obligations of a service provider or other vicarious agents in connection with the initiation or conclusion of these terms and conditions.
