  4. The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the BEAT THE HEAT game, however, for a period of time, at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator BEAT THE HEAT tickets may count towards entry in Lottery Super 2nd Chance drawings. The Wisconsin Lottery will not be responsible for any neglect, failure or omission on the part of the U.S. Postal Service or any other delivery/courier service used to deliver a player's Super 2nd Chance Drawing mailing to the Wisconsin Lottery. The Lottery assumes no responsibility or liability for Super 2nd Chance tickets that are lost, or destroyed or otherwise disqualified from participation in a drawing when such tickets are in the control of the Lottery. All tickets sent to the Wisconsin Lottery to enter the Super 2nd Chance drawings become property of the Wisconsin Lottery and will not be returned. Only tickets sent to and received at the correct address for entry into the Super 2nd Chance drawing will be eligible for the Super 2nd Chance drawing.
  5. The method of selecting winners: There are ten (10) DAY play areas on each BEAT THE HEAT ticket. Each DAY play area contains a YOUR TEMP play spot, a RECORD TEMP play spot and a prize amount. The holder of a ticket where the number (displayed 2 as a temperature) in the uncovered YOUR TEMP play spot of any one DAY is greater than the number (displayed as a temperature) in the RECORD TEMP play spot for that same DAY shall win the corresponding prize amount shown for that same DAY. The holder of a ticket showing a "STACK OF BILLS" play symbol in any of the uncovered YOUR TEMP play spots shall win two (2) TIMES the corresponding prize amount for that same DAY, regardless of the number in the RECORD TEMP play spot for that same DAY.
