3. Disputes concerning tickets. In the event a dispute arises as to whether a ticket is a winning ticket, and irrespective of whether the basis for the dispute is a claim of negligence, breach of contract, intentional tort or any other culpable conduct on the part of the commission, its members or employees, the player's sole remedy shall be to apply to the commission for a refund of the price allegedly wagered, and whether that price is refunded lies solely within the discretion of the commission.
