(1) Definitions. The following words and phrases, when used in this rule, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(2) How to Play CASH4LIFE.
(c) Play Slips.
1. Paper Play Slips. There are five panels on a paper play slip, each containing an upper play area and a lower play area. Each panel played will cost $2.00 per Play, per drawing. Players may mark their desired numbers on the paper play slip by selecting six numbers (five in the upper play area and one in the lower play area) from each panel played. Players may also mark the “QP” (Quick Pick) box located at the bottom of each play area for the terminal to randomly select any or all of the six numbers from either or both play areas. A “Void” box is also located at the bottom of each panel and should be marked by the player if an error was made in his or her selections in a panel. For each panel played, the first five of the six numbers appearing in a single horizontal row on a CASH4LIFE ticket shall be the numbers selected from the upper play area of the play slip, and the last number shall be the Cash Ball Number selected from the lower play area of the play slip. Players may mark the $10 “Quick Picks for next draw” box to receive one ticket with five sets of six randomly selected numbers for the next CASH4LIFE drawing or may mark the $20 “Quick Picks for next draw” box to receive one ticket with ten sets of six randomly selected numbers for the next CASH4LIFE drawing. Players may mark Quick Picks in addition to panel plays. Advance Play may also be added to play future drawings as further provided in paragraph (2)(d) below. Paper play slips must be Florida Lottery approved and players must use only blue or black ink or pencil for making selections. Paper play slips may be processed through a Florida Lottery full vending machine or processed by a Florida Lottery retailer to obtain a ticket.
2. Digital Play Slip. How to Create a Digital Play Slip. From the Landing Page on the App, a player should select the CASH4LIFE game icon and then click on “Pick Numbers.” For each panel played, the player should either select his or her numbers from a field of numbers described in paragraph (2)(a) or use the “Random Numbers” or “Shake to Play” feature for the App to provide the player random numbers. Up to ten panels may be created on one digital play slip. The player must also select the number of drawings, if more than the default of one drawing is desired. The parameters for advance play are set forth in paragraph (2)(d) below. Players may also use the “My Favorites” feature to save a digital play slip for later use. Once a digital play slip is created and the player clicks “Create Playslip,” a barcode will be displayed. The player may present the barcode appearing on his or her mobile device to the retailer to purchase a ticket through the retailer terminal or may use the barcode to purchase a ticket through a vending machine that provides for Draw game purchases. Illustrative instructions for creating a CASH4LIFE digital play slip are available by clicking on the “How to Play” button on the main CASH4LIFE page.
(3) CASH4LIFE Drawings.
(4) Determination of Prize Winners.
In order for a ticket to be a winning ticket, numbers appearing in a single horizontal row (the Player Number Sequence and the Cash Ball Number) on the ticket must match the official CASH4LIFE Winning Numbers in any order for the drawing date for which the ticket was purchased, in one of the following combinations:
| Prize Level | Prize | Odds of Winning per Play | Percent of Prize Fund Anticipated to Be Paid in Prizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top | Annual Payment Option - $1,000/Day for Life (Paid Annually)* Cash Option** | 1:21,846,048 | 32.90% |

| The overall odds of winning a prize in a CASH4LIFE Drawing are 1 in 8. | |||
| * Leap Day does not count for purposes of prize calculation. | |||
| ** The Cash Option amount will be determined as set forth herein. |
(8) Prize Liability Limitation. In the event that a Liability Limit would be exceeded for a particular Draw, the prize amounts for Top and Second Prizes shall be adjusted in accordance with a formula established by the Party Lotteries so that the aggregate liability for prizes in such Draw shall not exceed the Liability Limit.
(9) Top Prize Payment. In any single drawing, a Top Prize shall be divided equally among the number of Top Prize Winning Plays. Except as provided herein, a Top Prize shall be paid either in annual payments (“Annual Payment Option”) or in a lump sum cash payment (“Cash Option”). Top Prize winners have sixty days after the winning draw date to choose between the two payment options. Once the Top Prize winner signs the Winner Claim Form, files a claim and exercises the winner's chosen option, the election of that option shall be final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn or otherwise changed. If the Top Prize winner does not elect the Cash Option within sixty days after the winning draw date, the Annual Payment Option will be applied, except as provided in subparagraph (9)(b) 2., below. Shares of the Top Prize shall be determined as follows:
(b) If there is more than one Top Prize Winning Play and the Liability Limit is exceeded, the Top Prize will be paid on a pari-mutuel basis. The Top Prize Cash Option shall be a lump sum cash amount equal to $7,000,000 divided by the number of Top Prize Winning Plays for the drawing, rounded down to a whole dollar value. The annual payment amount shall be the pari-mutuel cash value divided by $7,000,000, multiplied by $365,000.
1. If there is more than one and less than or equal to fourteen Top Prize Winning Plays, the minimum annual payment prize value will be $500 a week for life, paid in annual installments.
2. In the event there are fifteen or more Top Prize Winning Plays among the Party Lotteries, no Annual Payment Option shall be available. Rather, the prize money for the Top Prize shall be $7,000,000 divided equally among all Top Prize Winning Plays and paid in one lump sum payment to each winner. The minimum Top Prize shall not be less than any prize payout for the second through the ninth prizes for the same CASH4LIFE Drawing.
(10) Second Prize Payment.
(13) Ninth Prize Payment.
(15) Measuring Life Prize Requirements and Restrictions. A prizewinner who chooses the Annual Payment Option will be paid his or her appropriate Top Prize share or Second Prize share on an annual basis for their Measuring Life, or for the twenty-year Guaranteed Term, whichever is longer. In the event that the prizewinner dies within the twenty-year Guaranteed Term, any remaining prize payments in the Guaranteed Term will be paid as set forth in the rule of the Florida Lottery governing payment of prizes. A copy of the current prize payment rule can be obtained from the Florida Lottery, Office of the General Counsel, 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4011.
