Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section and section 312, lucky seven games may be conducted during the period beginning 2 hours before and ending 2 hours after a "beano" game.

Notwithstanding any other rule, lucky seven or other similar sealed tickets may be sold that have a sale value of $1 or less , and a person who sells lucky seven or similar sealed tickets prior to the conduct of "beano" as a volunteer, as provided in this section, is permitted to play in the "beano" game.
