The prizewinner has sixty (60) days from the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the One-Time Cash Payment.

Once the prizewinner 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 $250,000 A Year for Life prize winner not making his or her payment election within sixty (60) days after the player claim instructions ticket is produced.
