(12) $1,000,000 Prize; Payment Options.

(a) A prizewinner of a $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a player claim instructions ticket. The prizewinner has sixty (60) days from the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the Cash Option. If a prizewinner does not choose the Cash Option within the sixty (60) day timeframe, the Annual Payment option will be applied. Once the prizewinner 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 $1,000,000 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. A winner of a $1,000,000 prize who elects the Cash Option shall receive a single cash payment of $795,000, less applicable federal income tax withholding.

(c) Annual Payment prizes will be paid in twenty-five (25) equal annual installments. A prizewinner of a $1,000,000 prize who elects the Annual Payment option, or has it applied, shall receive annual installments of $40,000 per year, less applicable federal tax withholding.

(13) $5,000,000 Prize; Payment Options.

(a) A prizewinner of a $5,000,000 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 $5,000,000 prize is claimed, the terminal will produce a player claim instructions ticket. The prizewinner has sixty (60) days from the date the player claim instructions ticket is produced to file a claim choosing the Cash Option. If a prizewinner does not choose the Cash Option within the sixty (60) day timeframe, the Annual Payment option will be applied. Once the prizewinner 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 $5,000,000 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. A winner of a $5,000,000 prize who elects the Cash Option shall receive a single cash payment of $3,960,000, less applicable federal income tax withholding.
