The rules relating to the conduct of a public lottery under the expired licence and in force immediately before its expiry are taken to be rules in force for the purposes of the new licence until such time as rules are made and approved under Part 4 of the Act for the purposes of the new licence.

Any money kept in a prize fund under the Act for the purposes of the expired licence and that is not required for payment of prizes won in a public lottery is taken to be part of the corresponding prize fund kept for the purposes of the new licence.
