The lottery player writes his numbers on line 1 of the baseboard and then slides the appropriate template over the baseboard to select the numbers.

The applicable subheading for the Numbers Unlimited lottery number selection kit will be 9017.20.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for disc calculators, slide rules and other mathematical calculating instruments.
