				plus equal annual payments over a specified term of 25 years or a one-time cash
				payment if the owner selected the cash option at the time of
				purchase.

				winning first prize play is determined, each, upon meeting the requirements of
				§§

				validation requirements; and procedures for claiming and payment of prizes), is
				entitled to a prorated payment share of the total first prize
				category.

				category payments, the total one-time cash payment for the first prize category

				category. The minimum jackpot will be at least $500,000. The annuity will be

				cash available in the winnings pool for the first prize category or the
				announced cash option jackpot.
