				pays the grand prize on an annuitized, parimutuel basis. Except as provided in
				this chapter, all other prizes are paid on a set cash basis.
(b) The purpose of the Powerball game is to
				determine winners from ticket holders matching five numbers from 1 through 49,
				and matching the separately drawn Powerball number, or a designated combination
				thereof, within a single play, with the five winning numbers and the Powerball
				number to be randomly drawn. Drawings will be conducted twice a week or as
				publicly announced by the Secretary.
(c) The object of the game is for a player to
				select, in a single play on a ticket, five numbers and the Powerball number
				that match the numbers and the Powerball number drawn for the game in which the
				ticket is participating. Correctly matching the six winning numbers consisting
				of the five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number drawn, and meeting other
				validation criteria, entitles the ticket holder to the grand prize identified
				in §
									871.8 (relating to expected prize
				payout percentages).
