11. (11) $2,000,000 Prize; Payment Options.

    1. (a) A prizewinner of a $2,000,000 prize may choose one of two payment options for receiving his/her prize. Payment options are One-Time Cash Payment or Annual Payments. At the time the $2,000,000 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 One-Time Cash Payment.

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 $2,000,000 prize winner not making his/her payment election within sixty (60) days after the player claim instructions ticket is produced.
