Regardless of any other provisions herein contained, the Commission may rely on the name of the owner, his or her address and other information contained in the Mobile Claim, or if no valid Mobile Claim is filed, on the claim form, although apparently inconsistent with the ticket, and pay all winnings to said ticket owner or his or her proper representative according to law and 961 CMR 2.00 without further responsibility and liability. The Commission for its purposes will recognize only one person as owner of a ticket. The Commission will make payment to only one person per prize won, regardless of the number of persons claiming ownership of the prize winning ticket.

No payment will be made on a winning ticket, unless all information required by the Mobile Claim Process is submitted and valid, all spaces provided on both the claim form and winning ticket are filled in with the requested information, or an acknowledgment is submitted attesting that said information is unknown or unavailable.

Ticketless transaction plays may be registered by the Selling Lottery at a lottery processing site that meets the requirements established by the Product Group and the MUSL Board. (4) Powerball Prize Pool. (a) Powerball Prize Pool. The prize pool for all prize categories shall consist of 50% of each drawing period's sales, inclusive of any specific statutorily mandated tax of a Selling Lottery to be included in the price of a play, after the prize pool accounts and prize reserve accounts are funded to the amounts set by the Product Group. Any amount remaining in the prize pool at the end of this game shall be returned to all lotteries participating in the prize pool after the end of all claim periods of all Selling Lotteries, carried forward to a replacement game or expended in a manner as directed by the Members of the Product Group in accordance with jurisdiction statute. (b) Powerball Prize Pool Accounts and Prize Reserve Accounts. An amount up to 5% of a Party Lottery's sales, including any specific statutorily mandated tax of a Party Lottery to be included in the price of a play, shall be deducted from a Party Lottery's Grand Prize Pool contribution and placed in trust in one or more Powerball prize pool accounts and prize reserve accounts held by the Product Group at any time that the prize pool accounts and Party Lottery's share of the prize reserve account(s) is below the amounts designated by the Product Group. The Product Group has established the following prize reserve accounts for the Powerball game: the Powerball Prize Reserve Account (PRA), which is used to guarantee the payment of valid, but unanticipated, Grand Prize claims that may result from a system error or other reason; and the Powerball Set Prize Reserve Account (SPRA), which is used to fund deficiencies in low-tier Powerball prize payments (subject to limitations of 961 CMR 2.63). The Product Group has established the following prize pool accounts for the Powerball game: the Grand Prize pool, which is used to fund the immediate Grand Prize; the Powerball Set Prize Pool, which is used to fund the Powerball Set Prize payments; and the Powerball Set-aside Account, which is used to guarantee payment of the minimum or starting Grand Prize. The Power Play Prize Pool and Power Play Pool Account are described in 961 CMR 2.63(11). The Set Prize Pool holds the temporary balances that may result from having fewer than expected winners in the Powerball Set Prize (aka low-tier prize) categories and the source of the Set Prize Pool is the Party Lottery's weekly prize contributions less actual Powerball Set Prize liability. The source of the Set-aside Account funding shall be the prize reserve deduction until such time as the Set-aside Account is fully funded. Once the Powerball prize pool accounts and the Party Lottery's share of the Powerball prize reserve accounts exceeds the designated amounts, the excess shall become part of the Grand Prize pool. The Product Group, with approval of the Finance and Audit Committee, may establish a maximum balance for the Powerball prize pool accounts and prize reserve accounts. The Product Group may determine to expend all or a portion of the funds in the Powerball prize pool accounts (except the Grand Prize pool account) and the prize reserve accounts, (1) for the purpose of indemnifying the Party Lotteries and Licensee Lotteries in the payment of prizes to be made by the Selling Lotteries, subject to the approval of the Board; and (2) for the payment of prizes or special prizes in the game, limited to prize pool and prize reserve contributions from lotteries participating in the special prize promotion following review and comment of the Finance and Audit Committee. The prize reserve shares of a Party Lottery may be adjusted with refunds to the Party Lottery from the prize reserve account(s) as may be needed to maintain the approved maximum balance and shares of the Party Lotteries. A Party Lottery may contribute to its share of prize reserve accounts over time, but in the event of a draw down from the reserve account, a Party Lottery is responsible for its full percentage share of the account, whether or not it has been paid in full.

Licensee Lotteries shall adhere to 961 CMR 2.63(4)(b) unless a different process is approved by the Product Group. (c) Expected Powerball Prize Payout Percentages. The Grand Prize payout shall be determined on a pari-mutuel basis. Except as otherwise mandated by jurisdiction statute or judicial requirements, or provided for in 961 CMR 2.63, all other prizes awarded shall be paid as set single payment prizes with the following expected prize payout percentages: Number of Matches Per PlayPrize Pool Percentage Prize PaymentAllocated to Prize All five of first set plus one of second setGrand Prize68.0131% All five of first set and none of second set.$1,000,0008.5558% Any four of first set plus one of second set.$50,0005.4757% Any four of first set and none of second set.$1000.2738% Any three of first set plus one of second set.$1000.6899% Any three of first set and none of second set.$71.2074% Any two of first set plus one of second set.$70.9981% Any one of first set plus one of second set.$44.3489% None of first set plus one of second set.$410.4373%

1. The prize money allocated to the Grand Prize category shall be divided equally by the number of plays winning the Grand Prize.
2. Powerball Set Prize Pool Carried Forward. For Party Lotteries, the Powerball Set Prize Pool (for single prizes of $1,000,000 or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the Powerball Set Prizes awarded in the current draw.
3. Pari-mutuel Powerball Prize Determinations. Except as provided for in 961 CMR 2.63(4)(c)3.c., for Party Lotteries: a. If the total of the Powerball Set Prizes (as multiplied by the respective Power Play multiplier if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the Powerball Set Prizes, then the amount needed to fund the Powerball Set Prizes, including Power Play prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order: i. the amount allocated to the Powerball Set Prizes and carried forward from previous draws, if any; ii. an amount from the SPRA, if available, not to exceed $40,000,000 per drawing; and iii. other amounts as agreed to by the Product Group in their sole discretion. b. If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the Set Prizes awarded, including Power Play prizes, then the highest Set Prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest Set Prize, 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, then the next highest Set Prize, including Power Play prizes, 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 961 CMR 2.63 shall be divided among the winning plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Powerball Set Prizes and Power Play prizes will be reduced by the same percentage. c. By agreement with the Licensee Lotteries, the Licensee Lotteries shall independently calculate their Set Prize pari-mutuel amounts. The Party Lotteries and the Licensee Lotteries shall then agree to set the pari-mutuel prize amounts for all lotteries selling the game at the lesser of the independently-calculated prize amounts.
4. Licensee Lotteries. Licensee Lotteries shall adhere to 961 CMR 2.63(4)(c)3.a. and b. unless a different process is approved by the Product Group.

(a) Grand Prizes. Grand Prizes shall be paid, at the election of the player made no later than 60 days after the player becomes entitled to the prize, with either a per-winner annuity or single lump sum payment (which may be referred to as the "cash option"). If the payment election is not made at the time of purchase and is not made by the player within 60 days after the player becomes entitled to the prize, then the prize shall be paid as an annuity prize. An election for an annuity payment made by a player before ticket purchase or by system default or design may be changed to a cash option payment at the election of the player until the expiration of 60 days after the player becomes entitled to the prize. The election to take the cash option payment may be made at the time of the prize claim or within 60 days after the player becomes entitled to the prize. An election made after the winner becomes entitled to the prize is final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn or otherwise changed. Shares of the Grand Prize shall be determined by dividing the funds available in the Grand Prize pool equally among all winning plays of the Grand Prize. Winner(s) who elect a cash option payment shall be paid their share(s) in a single lump sum payment. The annuitized option prize shall be determined by multiplying a winner's share of the Grand Prize pool by the MUSL Annuity Factor. The MUSL Annuity Factor is determined through a process as approved by the Finance and Audit Committee. Neither MUSL nor the Selling Lotteries shall be responsible or liable for changes in the advertised or estimated annuity prize amount and the actual amount purchased after the prize payment method is actually known to MUSL. In certain instances announced by the Product Group, the Grand Prize shall be a guaranteed amount and shall be determined pursuant to 961 CMR 2.63(6)(e). If individual shares of the Grand Prize Pool funds held to fund an annuity is less than $250,000, the Product Group, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the winners their share of the funds held in the Grand Prize pool.

961 CMR: STATE LOTTERY COMMISSION

2.63 continued

2.63: continued All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in 30 payments with the initial payment being made in a single payment, to be followed by 29 payments funded by the annuity. Except as may be controlled by a Selling Lottery's governing statute, all annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in 30 graduated payments (increasing each year) by a rate as determined by the Product Group. Prize payments may be rounded down to the nearest $1,000. Annual payments after the initial payment shall be made by the lottery on the anniversary date or if such date falls on a non-business day, then the first business day following the anniversary date of the selection of the Grand Prize Winning Numbers. Funds for the initial payment of an annuitized prize or the lump sum cash option prize payment shall be made available by MUSL for payment by the Selling Lottery no earlier than the 15 th calendar day (or the next banking day if the 15 th day is a holiday) following the drawing. If necessary, when the due date for the payment of a prize occurs before the receipt of funds in the prize pool trust sufficient to pay the prize, the transfer of funds for the payment of the full lump sum cash option amount may be delayed pending receipt of funds from the Selling Lotteries. A paying lottery may elect to make the initial payment from its own funds after validation, with notice to MUSL. If a Party Lottery purchases or holds the prize payment annuity for a prize won in that jurisdiction, that Party Lottery's game rules, and any prize agreement with the prize winner, shall indicate that the prize winner has no recourse on the MUSL or any other Party Lottery for payment of that prize. In the event of the death of a lottery winner during the annuity payment period, unless prohibited by jurisdictional law, the MUSL Finance and Audit Committee, in its sole discretion excepting a discretionary review by the Product Group, upon the petition of the estate of the lottery winner (the "Estate") to the lottery of the jurisdiction in which the deceased lottery winner purchased the winning play, and subject to federal, state, district, or territorial applicable laws, may accelerate the payment of all of the remaining lottery proceeds to the Estate. If such a determination is made, then securities and/or cash held to fund the deceased lottery winner's annuitized prize may be distributed to the Estate. The identification of the securities to fund the annuitized prize shall be at the sole discretion of the Finance and Audit Committee or the Product Group. (b) Powerball Prize Payments. All prizes (whether described as "cash" payment prizes or otherwise) shall be paid through the Selling Lottery that sold the winning play(s) and at the discretion of the Selling Lottery that sold the winning play(s) may be paid by cash, check, or warrant or electronic transfer. A Selling Lottery may begin paying low-tier prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central office. If a Selling Lottery, due to jurisdictional law requirements, separately determines its low-tier prize amounts, it shall be solely responsible for its low-tier prize liability, and may begin paying low-tier prizes after a drawing when it determines appropriate to do so. (c) Powerball Prizes Rounded. Annuitized payments of the Grand Prize or a share of the Grand Prize may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized Grand Prize win shall be added to the first payment to the winner or winners. Prizes other than the Grand Prize, which, under 961 CMR 2.63, may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Except with regards to low-tier prizes paid by a Selling Lottery which separately determines its low-tier prize amounts pursuant to 961 CMR 2.63(6)(b), breakage resulting from rounding these prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing. (d) Powerball Prize Rollover. If the Grand Prize is not won in a drawing, the prize money allocated for the Grand Prize shall roll over and be added to the Grand Prize pool for the following drawing. (e) Funding of Guaranteed Powerball Prizes. The Product Group 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 where the Product Group finds that it would be in the best interest of the game. If a minimum Grand Prize amount or a minimum increase in the Grand Prize amount between drawings is offered by the Product Group, then the Grand Prize shares shall be determined as follows: If there are multiple Grand Prize winners during a single drawing, each selecting the annuitized option prize, then a winner's share of the guaranteed annuitized Grand Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized Grand Prize by the number of winning plays. If there are multiple

961 CMR: STATE LOTTERY COMMISSION

2.63 continued

2.63: continued Grand Prize winners during a single drawing and at least one of the Grand Prize winners has elected the annuitized option prize, then the best bid submitted by MUSL's pre-approved qualified brokers shall determine the cash pool needed to fund the guaranteed annuitized Grand Prize. If no winner of the Grand Prize during a single drawing has elected the annuitized option prize, then the amount of cash in the Grand Prize pool shall be an amount equal to the guaranteed annuitized amount divided by the MUSL Annuity Factor. Changes in the allocation of prize money shall be designed to retain approximately the same prize allocation percentages, over a year's time, set out in 961 CMR 2.63. Minimum guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in 961 CMR 2.63(4)(c) becomes necessary. Approval of the Group is required to change the guaranteed minimum Grand Prize amounts or minimum increases in the Grand Prize amount. Any reduction in the guaranteed minimum Grand Prize amount or reduction in the minimum increases to the Grand Prize amount shall not become effective until after a Grand Prize win following the action taken by the Group. (f) Limited to Highest Powerball Prize Won. The holder of a winning play may win only one prize per play in connection with the Winning Numbers drawn and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category. (g) Powerball Prize Claim Period. Prize claims shall be submitted within the period set by the Selling Lottery selling the play. If no such claim period is established, all Grand Prize claims shall be made within 180 days after the drawing date. In Massachusetts, all tickets must be claimed within one year of the drawing date. (7) Ticket Validation. To be a valid play and eligible to receive a prize, a play's ticket or ticketless transaction shall satisfy all the requirements established by a Selling Lottery for validation of winning plays sold through its gaming system and any other validation requirements adopted by the Product Group, the MUSL Board and published as the Confidential MUSL Minimum Game Security Standards. The MUSL and the Selling Lotteries shall not be responsible for tickets or ticketless transactions which are altered in any manner. (8) Ticket Responsibility. (a) Prize Claims. Prize claim procedures shall be governed by the rules of the Selling Lottery. The MUSL and the Selling Lotteries shall not be responsible for prizes that are not claimed following the proper procedures as determined by the Selling Lottery. (b) (Reserved). (c) Stolen Tickets. The Product Group, the MUSL and the Party Lotteries shall not be responsible for lost or stolen tickets. (d) Ticketless Transactions. A receipt for a ticketless transaction play has no value and is not evidence of a play. A ticketless transaction play is valid when registered with the lottery in accordance with lottery rules and the person or, if permitted by the lottery rules, the persons registering the play shall be the owner of the ticketless transaction play. (9) Ineligible Players. (a) A play or share for a MUSL game issued by the MUSL or any of its Party Lotteries shall not be purchased by, and a prize won by any such play or share shall not be paid to:

1. a MUSL employee, officer, or director;
2. a contractor or consultant under agreement with the MUSL to review the MUSL audit and security procedures;
3. an employee of an independent accounting firm under contract with MUSL to observe drawings or site operations and actually assigned to the MUSL account and all partners, shareholders, or owners in the local office of the firm; or
4. an immediate family member (parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, spouse, or sibling) of an individual described in 961 CMR 2.63(9)(a)1. through 3. and residing in the same household. (b) Those persons designated by a Selling Lottery's law as ineligible to play its games shall also be ineligible to play the MUSL game in that Selling Lottery's jurisdiction. (10) Applicable Law.

1. Prize Pool Carried Forward. For Party Lotteries, the prize pool percentage allocated to the Power Play set prizes 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.

Except as provided for in 961 CMR 2.63(11)(g)2., for Party Lotteries: If the total of the original Powerball set prizes and the Power Play prizes awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pools allocated to the set prizes, then the amount needed to fund the set prizes (including the Power Play prize amounts) awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order: a. the amount allocated to the set prizes and carried forward from previous draws, if any; b. an amount from the Powerball Set-prize Reserve Account, if available in the account, not to exceed $40,000,000 per drawing; and c. other amounts as agreed to by the Product Group in their sole discretion.

If the amount of the highest set prize, 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, then the next highest set prize, including the Power Play prize amount, shall become a pari-mutuel prize.
