(9) $500 A WEEK FOR LIFE Prize Payment Options.

(a) A winner of a $500 A WEEK FOR LIFE prize may choose one of three payment options for receiving his or her prize. Payment options are “Cash Option,” “Weekly Payment” or “Quarterly Payment.” At the time the $500 A WEEK FOR LIFE prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a top prize 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 winner will be required to choose between the Weekly Payment option and the Quarterly Payment option. 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 equal to the amount of cash required to purchase U.S. Government Securities that would fund the applicable prize amount of $500 a week for a twenty year period, less applicable federal withholding taxes. This figure will be determined during the week following the date on which the $500 A WEEK FOR LIFE prize is claimed by obtaining quotes from at least two investment sources. The quote costing the least to fund the twenty year payment stream, had the weekly payment option been selected, will be the amount of the Cash Option prize.

(c) Weekly Payment prizes claimed by an individual will be paid in equal weekly installments of $500, less applicable federal withholding taxes, for the life of the winner, with a minimum of twenty years. Weekly Payment prizes claimed by a trust, corporation or other legal entity shall be paid in equal weekly installments of $500 for a period not greater than twenty years, less applicable federal withholding taxes.

(d) Quarterly Payment prizes claimed by an individual will be paid as follows: At the time a claim is filed for a $500 a week for life prize, the winner will be paid a sum equal to $500 multiplied by the number of weeks from the date the claim is filed through the 15th day of the second month in the quarter in which the claim is filed, e.g., February, May, August or November, or in the next quarter if the claim is filed after the 15th day of the second month in a quarter, less applicable taxes. Thereafter, payment will be made in equal quarterly installments of $6,500, less applicable federal withholding taxes, on the 15th day of February, May, August and November, or the next business day if the 15th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, for the life of the winner, with a minimum of twenty years. Quarterly Payment prizes claimed by a trust, corporation or other legal entity shall be paid in equal quarterly installments for a period not greater than twenty years, less applicable federal withholding taxes.

(e) Following the end of the guaranteed twenty year payment period, Weekly Payment prizes will be converted to quarterly payments as described in paragraph (9)(d) above.

(f) At the end of the guaranteed twenty year payment period, winners receiving weekly payments and quarterly payments will be required to provide evidence to the Lottery that they are still living. Thereafter, winners will be required to provide such evidence on a quarterly basis prior to receipt of their next scheduled payment.

(g) Any interest or earnings accruing on a $500 a week for life prize prior to the prize payment or purchase of securities, under either the Cash Option or the Weekly or Quarterly Payment Option, shall accrue to the State of Florida and not to the winner.
