Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section, if no valid claim to the prize award is made within the prescribed period, the prize money or the cost of goods and services awarded as prizes, or if such goods or services are resold by the commission, the proceeds from such sale, shall be returned to the state lottery fund and distributed in accordance with section 3770.06 of the Revised Code.

(3) No right of any person prize winner, as defined in section 3770.10 of the Revised Code, to a prize award shall be the subject of a security interest or used as collateral.

(7) Upon the payment of prize awards pursuant to this section, the director and the commission are discharged from all further liability therefor.
(B) The commission may adopt rules governing the disbursement of unclaimed prize awards as all or part of the prize award in a lottery and may, pursuant to those rules, conduct the lottery and disburse any such unclaimed prize awards. Any lottery in which all or any part of the prize award is paid from unclaimed prize awards shall be conducted in accordance with all of the other requirements of this chapter, including, but not limited to, the time and proof requirements for claiming awards and the disposition of unclaimed prize awards when the prescribed period for claiming the award has passed. A prize award or any part of a prize award that is paid from an unclaimed prize award shall not be reapplied toward the satisfaction of the requirement of division (A) of section 3770.06 of the Revised Code that at least fifty per cent of the total revenues from ticket sales be disbursed for monetary prize awards, if such unclaimed prize award was previously applied toward the satisfaction of that requirement.

There is hereby established in the state treasury the unclaimed lottery prizes fund, to which all unclaimed prize awards shall be transferred.

(b) An assessment issued against any person listed in division (C)(1) or (3) of this section shall not be considered an election of remedies or a bar to an assessment against any other person for the failure to comply with division (C)(1) of this section. No assessment shall be issued against any person who is so listed if the amount required to be withheld has been paid by another.
(c) The assessment shall include interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code on liability from the time the payment is due until the date of assessment. Interest shall continue to accrue from the date of assessment until the date the assessment is paid in full. Any interest accruing subsequent to the date of the issuance of the assessment shall be considered to be an additional deficiency for which the tax commissioner may issue subsequent assessments. The initial assessment and any subsequent assessments may include a penalty in an amount not to exceed twice the applicable interest charged under this division.

A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or other publication originates in the state.
