19 February 2010 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, WA 665

The agent’s component is calculated as 9% of the total subscription amount for a particular week’s entry, rounded* (where necessary) to the nearest 5 cent multiple.

((G x $0.65) x .09 → rounded) x W = T

where —

G = No. of games entered in a draw

W = No. of weeks the entry spans

T = Total agent’s component cost payable by the subscriber

Examples:

The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry for a single powerball draw is calculated as follows —

Subscription [25 games @ $0.65 each]	=	$16.25
9% of subscription [.09 x $16.25]	=	$1.462
Rounded using “bankers rounding”	=	$1.45
Total cost of entry	=	$17.70

The total cost of entry for a System 7 entry for a single powerball draw is calculated as follows —

Subscription [21 games @ $0.65 each]	=	$13.65
9% of subscription [.09 x $13.65]	=	$1.228
Rounded using “bankers rounding”	=	$1.25
Total cost of entry	=	$14.90

The total cost of entry for a 6 game board System 9 entry for a single powerball draw is calculated as follows —

Subscription [6 x 126 games @ $0.65 each] = $491.40

9% of subscription [.09 x $491.40]	=	$44.226
Rounded using “bankers rounding”	=	$44.25
Total cost of entry	=	$535.65

The total cost of entry for a Powerpik 6 entry for a single powerball entry is calculated as follows —

Subscription [270 games @ $0.65 each]	=	$175.50
9% of subscription [.09 x $175.50]	=	$15.795
Rounded using “bankers rounding”	=	$15.80
Total cost of entry	=	$191.30
