(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 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 the sixty (60) day timeframe, 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. 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 of $1,420,000, less applicable federal income tax withholding.
