(a) The prize money allocated to the Grand Prize category shall be divided equally by the number of Lotto America Plays winning the Grand Prize as described in Sections 943.1 and 943.3 of these rules.
(b) Lotto America Game Set Prize Pool ('SPP') Carried Forward. The SPP (for single payment prizes of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.
(c) Lotto America Game Set Prize Pool (SPP) Carried Forward. The SPP (for single payment prizes of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.
(d) Pari-Mutuel Lotto America Game Prize Determinations. If the total of the Lotto America Set Prizes (as multiplied by the All Star Bonus Multiplier if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Lotto America Game Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Lotto America Game Set Prizes, including All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:
(1) The amount available in the SPP and the All Star Bonus Multiplier Prize Pool; and, if needed,
(2) an amount from the PRA, if available, not to exceed the balance of the PRA; and, if needed,
(3) an amount from the SAP, if available, not to exceed the balance of the pool.
(e) If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes, including the All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, then the highest Set Prize shall become a Pari-Mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, including All Star Bonus Multiplier Prizes, when paid on a Pari-Mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest Set Prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining set prizes awarded, including All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes, then the next highest Set Prize shall become a Pari-Mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all Set Prize levels, if necessary, until all Set Prize levels become Pari-Mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources listed in this rule shall be divided among the winning Plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Lotto America Game and All Star Bonus Multiplier prizes will be reduced by the same percentage.
