3.
Approximately 50% of the amount of money wagered on each drawing goes into
the prize pool.
4. In
some cases, prizes may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and will be lower than
published prize levels. Refer to the official game rules for a detailed
explanation of the optional pari-mutuel prize payment.
5. Jackpot Payment Options – Jackpot winners have 60 days
beginning the day after the winning numbers were drawn to select a payment
option. An Annuity Option means winners can choose equal annual
payments over a twenty-six (26) year period. A Cash Option means
winners can choose a one-time cash payment which will be (approximately) the
cost of the annuity divided by the number of winning tickets. Note: If a
winner fails to claim the jackpot and select a jackpot payment option within
60 days, the prize will be automatically paid as an annuity. All prizes
must be claimed within one year of the drawing.
