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 One-Time Cash Payment.

Once the winner files a claim and exercises his or her chosen option, the election of that option shall be final.
