This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels.

2376(d) In order to select the Cash Option, the Top Prize winner must submit his or her ticket for payment within sixty days after the winning draw date.

2438(e) A Top Prize winner who chooses the Cash Option will be paid in a single cash payment, less applicable withholding taxes. The Cash Option amount offered shall be the amount determined by multiplying the annuitized prize amount by a discount value set by the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lotteries Finance Committee prior to each drawing, divided by the number of total individual winner’s shares for the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB game.

MUSL shall purchase securities through a competitive purchase with a minimum of three primary brokerage firms of its choice.

2679(h) Annuitized payment of the Top Prize or a share of the Top Prize will be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Rounding differences on an annuitized Top Prize win shall be added to the first cash payment to the winner or winners. Prizes other than the Top Prize, which under this rule may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, will be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Rounding differences resulting from rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.
2775(i) The Florida Lottery will make the initial and any subsequent payments of a prize upon receipt of funds for such prize from MUSL.
2799(j) In the event of the death during the annuity payment period of a Top Prize winner who elected the Annual Payment option, the estate of the deceased winner (the “Estate”) may file a petition with the Florida Lottery to accelerate payment of all the remaining prize proceeds to the Estate. Such petition will be forwarded by the Florida Lottery to MUSL for processing.

If a ticket is a winner under both drawings, the prize paid shall be the sum of both the Top Prize or Second through Tenth Prize and the Millionaires’ Club Prize.
3005(b) Millionaires’ Club Prize 3009shall be awarded if the Top Prize is won in a drawing. If the Top Prize is not won in a drawing, the number of Millionaires’ Club Prizes shall increase between drawings until the Top Prize is won.

The Webcode on both winning and non-winning MONOPOLY MIILIONAIRES’ CLUB tickets may be entered. Players should enter the Webcode on a MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB 3455ticket prior to redeeming any prize.

Enter the Webcode assigned to the 3541MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB ticket located below the “YOUR ENTRY WEBCODE” heading on the ticket (the entry field is entitled “Ticket Numbers” on the website). The MONOPOLY game board property on the ticket, together with a randomly generated additional bonus MONOPOLY game board property assigned when the Webcode is entered, will be registered in the player’s account. The first time a player enters a Webcode, the player will receive a Community Chest card in addition to the property printed on the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB ticket and the bonus property awarded upon entering the Webcode. The Community Chest card will award the player a complete property set (and the drawing entries that go with it). The bonus property, the property printed on the ticket and the properties awarded by the Community Chest card will populate the player’s personal MONOPOLY board. Upon collecting all properties within a MONOPOLY property set, the player is shown the number of entries earned for the next available drawing. Entries are automatically submitted and the properties cleared off the player’s board allowing the player to collect the same property set again if the same properties are awarded. Incomplete properties will remain on the player’s board for future play. As shown in the following table, for each completed MONOPOLY property set, the player will be awarded a number of entries into a drawing from which studio audience members for the TV Game Show 3775will be selected.

The total sales of MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB tickets by each Lottery divided by the total sales of MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB tickets by all Lotteries during the applicable period shall determine the factor to be used in calculating each Lottery’s allotment above and beyond the Base Allotment. 4321The total number of players to be selected as studio audience members chosen for each Lottery shall be the sum of its Base Allotment and the Sales Allotment.
4349(e) Winner Notification. 4352In each drawing, the prizewinners will be posted on flalottery.com and playmmc.com after the drawings.
