(a) GAME 1, GAME 2, and GAME 3 Crossword Puzzles. There are three crossword puzzle GAMES on each $2,000,000 50X CASHWORD ticket. Each GAME is played separately. The holder of a ticket whose play symbols (“letters”) in the YOUR LETTERS play area match the play symbols in the puzzle board play area of a GAME to form three (3) or more words in that GAME shall entitle the prizewinner to the corresponding prize in the corresponding PRIZE LEGEND for the total number of words matched. Only the highest prize won in a GAME is paid. A player may win in one, two or three GAMES. Words in one GAME cannot be used in another GAME. A “word” must contain at least three (3) letters. A “word” cannot be formed by linking letters diagonally or by reading the letters from the bottom to top or right to left. Letters combined to form a “word” must appear in an unbroken horizontal or vertical string of letters in the crossword puzzle that are not interrupted by a blank space and must contain every single letter square between two (2) blank spaces or an edge and a blank space. Every letter in the unbroken string must be revealed in YOUR LETTERS and must be included to form a “word.” The possible complete words are shown in each crossword puzzle. Each possible complete word consists of three (3) or more letters and occupies an entire word space. All of the letters in a possible complete word must be matched in order to complete the word.

(b) The prizes in GAME 1 and GAME 2 are: $10, $20, $500, and $10,000. 

(c) The prizes in GAME 3 are: $10, $20, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $2,000,000.

(d) CASHWORD MULTIPLIER. If the play symbols in the YOUR LETTERS play area completely match the play symbols in the CASHWORD MULTIPLIER play area, all winnings on the ticket shall be multiplied by the multiplier in the MULIPLIER box.

(12) $2,000,000 Top Prize Payment Options.

(a) A winner of a $2,000,000 top prize may choose one of two payment options for receiving his or her prize. Payment options are Cash Option or Annual Payment. At the time the $2,000,000 top prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a player claim instructions ticket. The winner has sixty (60) days after the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the Cash Option. Once the winner files a claim and exercises the winner’s chosen option, the election of that option shall be final. The Annual Payment method of payment will also be final when it is applied due to a top prize winner not making his or her payment election within sixty (60) days after the player claim instructions ticket is produced.

(b) Cash Option prizes will be paid in a single cash payment. A winner of a $2,000,000 top prize who elects the Cash Option shall receive a single cash payment of $1,760,000, less applicable federal income tax withholding.

(c) Annual Payment prizes will be paid in twenty-five (25) equal annual installments. A winner of a $2,000,000 top prize who elects the Annual Payment option, or who has had the Annual Payment option applied as described in paragraph (12)(a) above, shall receive annual installments of $80,000 per year, less applicable federal tax withholding.
