				  divided as set forth in
				  Reg-1302.03(a)(a).

				four (4) winning Grand Prize numbers in any single game drawing in which case
				the total prize money to be paid on ten (10) eligible tickets (taking into
				account eligible double prizes) shall be divided equally per prize type
				(standard prize and double Tuesday prize winners each receiving their
				proportionate share) on a pari-mutuel basis based on the number of winning game
				play areas.
Comment. For example, if there are seven standard
				  grand prize winning plays and four double Tuesday grand prize winning plays,
				  then each standard winning play shall receive (10/11) times the (Total of the
				  $22,000 payout) divided by (Number of $22,000 prize winners) and each double
				  Tuesday winning play shall receive (10/11) times the (Total of the $44,000
				  payout) divided by (Number of $44,000 prize winners).
(b) The prize pool percentage
				allocated to the prizes shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or
				a portion of it is not needed to pay the prizes awarded in the current draw. If
				the total of the prizes awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the
				prize pool allocated to the prizes, then the amount needed to fund the prizes
				awarded shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:
(i) the amount allocated to the prizes and
				carried forward from previous draws, if any;
(ii) an amount from the prize reserve
				account, if available, not to exceed the balance of that account
(iii) An amount from the member lottery's
				Unreserved Account held by MUSL based on the percent of sales by member lottery
				for that draw,
(iv) from the
				general funds of the member lottery based on the percent of sales by member
				lottery for that draw.
(c) A "Free Ticket" prize shall constitute a
				free quick pick single-board 2by2 ticket for the next upcoming draw.
