(9) $2,000,000 Prize Payment Options.

(a) A winner of a $2,000,000 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 prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a player claim instructions ticket. The winner has sixty (60) days from the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the Cash Option.  If a winner does not choose the Cash Option within such time, the Annual Payment option will be applied. Once the winner files a claim and exercises the winner’s chosen option, the election of that option shall be final.

(b) Cash Option prizes will be paid in a single cash payment. A winner of a $2,000,000 prize shall receive a cash payment of the amount of cash required to purchase U.S. Government Securities that would fund $2,000,000 paid over a twenty-five year period, less applicable federal withholding taxes. This figure will be determined during the week following the date on which the $2,000,000 prize is claimed by obtaining quotes from at least two investment sources. The quote costing the least to fund the twenty-five year payment stream will be the amount of the Cash Option prize.

(c) Annual Payment prizes will be paid in twenty-five equal annual installments of $80,000 per year, less applicable federal withholding taxes.

(10) The estimated odds of winning, value and number of prizes in Instant Game Number 1261 are as follows:
