3.1 All Lotto Competitions require entrants to exercise skill in order to win the prize. Following valid entry to the Lotto Competition, entrants will be asked: To play skill game: Where is the Ball.
3.2 How to Play Where is the Ball
In Where is the Ball you’re supposed to place the middle of the ball into a picture, from which it has been removed. Check on this website: How to Play;
STEP 1: We use a picture as an example where the ball is visible.
STEP 2: Now the ball is removed from the picture and used for the Lotto Competition.
STEP 3: Your task is now to place the middle of the ball into the picture (adding a cross or ball by clicking on the picture to mark your spot), where you think the middle of the ball should be in the picture, based on what is happening in the picture. You can see your spot's on the screen. The computer will record all your chosen Lotto Ball numbers and playtime on this spot.
You should pay attention to everything in the picture that might be relevant for deciding where the ball should be. You can always choose to place more balls to increase your chances of winning. It’s very important to keep in mind that the winning ball may not necessarily be anywhere near where the ball was originally in the picture. It’s all about subjectivity and how the judges of this Lotto Competition, with their professional expertise, see the picture and where they think the middle of the ball should be in the picture.
STEP 4: A team of specialized, independent judges will decide, under the supervision of the notary/lawyer, where they think the middle of the ball is. The Jackpot/Grand Prize Winner will be the person who correctly identifies: the Judge's Position, correct numbers and fastest playing time.
It’s very important to keep in mind that the winning ball may not necessarily be anywhere near where the ball was originally in the picture. It’s all about subjectivity and how the judges with their professional expertise see the picture and where they think the middle of the ball should be in the picture.

How it works:
What is a pixel? Every digital image - be it a digital photo or a scanned image - is made up of uniformly colored dots, like a Ministeck image. These so-called pixels, the smallest picture element, can have more than 16 million colors. All devices that record or reproduce digital images work on the basis of these colored dots. All pixels consist of three sub-pixels.
Game photo: WHERE'S THE BAL
A. Each pixel in the photo has a unique sequence of all possible number combinations of 5, 6 or 7 digit numbers. This is the maximum number of participating Lotto balls in the game, including the reserve/bonus ball.
B. Each pixel in the photo is divided into 100-second time zones. Every smallest second has a unique sequence of all possible number combinations of 5, 6 or 7 digit numbers. This is the maximum number of participating Lotto balls in the game, including the reserve/bonus ball.
The system records your lotto numbers and playing time on your chosen location. When determining winners, it is checked how many correct numbers, on the correct place. is recorded. Then the recorded playing time per correct number is checked. The contestant(s) with the most correct numbers in the correct location with the fastest playing time will win prizes.
The Grand Prize/Jackpot winner:
1. If a participant has recorded all the correct numbers in the correct location: this participant is automatically the winner of the Grand prize/Jackpot.
2. If several participants have recorded all correct numbers in the correct location: the participant who recorded the correct numbers in the correct location the fastest wins the Grand prize/Jackpot.
3. If several participants have recorded all the correct numbers in the correct location, at exactly the same fastest time: all these participants will each receive the Grand prize/Jackpot.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th prize (if applicable):
1. The person who recorded the lotto numbers in the correct location but recorded less than the required number of correct lotto numbers for the Grand prize/Jackpot.

In addition to the above, we may also be required to share your personal data with third parties if required by law or regulation. In such circumstances, we will make sure that the disclosure is only to the extent required by law or regulation.
DO WE SEND ANY OF YOUR DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EEA?
The European Economic Area or “EEA” is deemed to have good standards when it comes to data privacy. As such, we consciously limit the occasions when we may need to transfer or handle your data outside of the EEA. Where we do, for example where our service providers are based outside of the EEA, we make sure that your data is still treated fairly and lawfully in all respects (including making sure we have a legal ground for sending your data outside the EEA and putting in place all necessary safeguards for such arrangement).
Where relevant, you will have the right to see a copy of any safeguards we put in place for international transfers of your data. Just get in touch with us if you would like to find out more.
HOW WE KEEP YOUR DATA SECURE?
We adopt industry standard security processes to ensure your data is kept safe and secure and to prevent unauthorized access or use or loss of your data. By way of example, we use secure server software which encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. We also make sure that third parties who need to handle your data when helping us to deliver our services are subject to suitable confidentiality and security standards.
Despite the security measures we implement, please be aware that the transmission of data via the internet is not completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee that information transmitted to us via the internet will be completely secure and any transmission is at your own risk.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA FOR?
We will keep your data for as long as you hold a account and/or where you are still happy to hear from us about our latest news, products and services. Once you no longer wish to be engaged with The Lotto Company.com we may still need to keep hold of your data if there is a legal reason for doing so (such as for tax purposes where you have made purchases to play in our Lottery Competitions or where we need to resolve any disputes with you).
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our website we do not have any control over these third party websites and are not responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites. Your use of these third party sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. You should exercise caution and examine the privacy policies and terms of use applicable to the web sites in question.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

YOUR RIGHTS
In certain situations, you are entitled to:
1. access a copy of your personal data;
2. correct or update your personal data, which you can do yourself by logging into your account or if you would prefer, please contact us and we can help you out;
3. erase your personal data;
4. object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (as set out in the above table);
5. restrict the processing of your personal data;
7. request the transfer of your personal data to a third party; or
8. where you have provided your consent to certain of our processing activities, in certain circumstances, you may withdraw your consent at any time (but please note that we may continue to process such personal data if we have legitimate legal grounds for doing so).
If you want to exercise any of these rights, please Contact Us. You don’t have to pay a fee to exercise your rights, unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive (in which case we can charge a reasonable fee). Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Where your request is legitimate, we will always respond within one month (unless there is a legal reason to take longer, such as where your request is particularly complex). We may also need you to confirm your identity before we proceed with your request if it is not clear to us who is making the request.
In addition to the above, you may get in touch with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) if you are concerned about the way in which we are handling your personal data. However, where possible, we would really appreciate you speaking with us first if you have any concerns.
