D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 30, § 909
909.1
Provided the prize pools are fully funded, the fixed prize payments for POWERBALL® based on a two dollar ($2) bet are as follows:
Number of Matches Per Play
| (a) | All five (5) of the first set and none of the second set | $2,000,000.00 |
|---|---|---|
| (b) | Any four (4) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $40,000.00 |
| (c) | Any four (4) of the first set and none of the second set | $ 200.00 |
| (d) | Any three (3) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $ 200.00 |
| (e) | Any three (3) of the first set and none of the second set | $14.00 |
| (f) | Any two (2) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $14.00 |
| (g) | Any one (1) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $12.00 |
| (h) | None of the first set plus one (1) of the second set | $12.00 |
909.2
If the prize pools are not fully funded and there are not sufficient funds in the prize pool to pay fixed prizes, the prizes shall be paid pursuant to §909.3, including payment on a pari-mutuel basis if required.
909.3
The prize pool percentage allocated to the fixed prize (the cash prize of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the fixed prizes awarded in the current draw. If the total of the fixed prizes awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the fixed prizes, then the amount needed to fund the fixed prizes awarded shall be drawn from the following sources in the following order:
909.4
If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the fixed prizes awarded, the highest fixed prize shall become a pari-
mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest fixed prize when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest fixed prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining fixed prizes awarded, the next highest fixed prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all fixed prize levels, if necessary, until all fixed prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this chapter shall be divided among the winning plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages.
909.5
Pursuant to all agreements governing the conduct of the POWER BALL® game, the Executive Director may offer guaranteed minimum Grand Prize amounts, or minimum increases in the Grand Prize amount, between drawings or make other changes in the allocation of prize money if the Executive Director finds it is in the best interest of the game. Minimum guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in §§909.3 and 909.4 becomes necessary.
