If any number is found repetitive that number will invariably be cancelled and draw will be repeated. On announcing the prize number the officer in charge of documenting the prize number shall document this in a prize register and judges will subsequently verify this by according their signature on it. When the draw is completed the prize register thus prepared will be authenticated by every judge present at the draw of the Lottery.
