(9) $2,500 A WEEK FOR LIFE Prize Payment Options.

(a) A winner of a $2,500 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 “annual payment.” At the time the $2,500 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 annual 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 $2,500 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 $2,500 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 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 $2,500, less applicable federal withholding taxes, for the life of the winner, with a minimum of twenty years, which equals $2,600,000. Weekly payment prizes claimed by a trust, corporation or other legal entity shall be paid in equal weekly installments of $2,500 for a period not greater than twenty years, less applicable federal withholding taxes.

(d) Annual payment prizes claimed by an individual will be paid in annual installments of $130,000, less applicable tax withholding taxes, for the life of the winner, with a minimum of twenty years, which equals $2,600,000.

(e) Following the end of the guaranteed twenty year payment period, weekly payment prizes will be converted to annual payments.

(f) At the end of the guaranteed twenty year payment period, winners receiving weekly payments or annual 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 an annual basis prior to receipt of their next scheduled payment.

(g) Any interest or earnings accruing on a $2,500 A WEEK FOR LIFE prize prior to the prize payment or purchase of securities, under either the cash option or the weekly or annual payment option, shall accrue to the State of Florida and not to the winner.
