(a) A winner of a $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 prize shall receive a cash payment of the amount of cash required to purchase U.S. Government Securities that would fund $1,000,000 paid over a twenty year period, less applicable federal withholding taxes. This figure will be determined during the week following the date on which the $1,000,000 prize is claimed by obtaining quotes from at least two investment sources. The quote costing the least to fund the twenty year payment stream will be the amount of the Cash Option prize.

(c) Annual Payment prizes will be paid in twenty (20) equal annual installments of $50,000, less applicable federal withholding taxes.
