2.A.7 Complaints Relating to Non-Accessibility
The Lottery Director or designee(s) will receive and process all accessibility complaints concerning
Lottery retailers.
a) Complaints
1) Complaints must be in writing and, where possible, submitted on a Lottery ADA complaint form
60 days after receipt of verbal notification of such complaint. The complaint shall be
investigated by Lottery personnel who have completed ADA accessibility training
developed and administered by the Lottery. Said training shall be based upon the text of
the ADA, related rules and regulations promulgated by the federal government, together
with any technical assistance materials issued by the United States Department of
Justice. If the Lottery Licensed Facility is not in compliance, within, but no later than, 15
days after the completion of the investigation, a letter of impending non-compliance shall
be issued to the Lottery retailer. A copy of said letter shall also be sent to the
complainant. If the Lottery Licensed Facility is in compliance a letter will be mailed to the
retailer and complainant.
2) If the Lottery, following an on-site inspection of a Lottery Licensed Facility, determines that
there are violations of the ADA, the Lottery shall issue a letter of impending
noncompliance within, but no later than, 15 days after the completion of the on-site
inspection of the physical location. The Lottery Licensed Facility shall submit within, but
no later than 30 days after mailing of the letter of impending non-compliance, a response
for the apparent non-compliance with this Rule 2.A. The Lottery Director or designee(s)
shall determine if the Lottery Licensed Facility’s response is acceptable under guidelines
of this Rule 2.A and the ADA. If the Lottery Licensed Facility does not provide an
explanation in the 30 day response period the Lottery, within 15 days after the 30 day
response period, shall issue a letter of non-compliance. If the Lottery Licensed Facility is
in compliance, a letter will be mailed to the retailer.
b) Submission of Compliance Plan
1) If the letter of non-compliance shows deficiencies in the accessibility of the Lottery retailer’s
physical location, the Lottery retailer, assisted by the Lottery Director or designee(s), shall
submit a plan to the Lottery within 30 days of the issuance of the letter of noncompliance. The plan shall describe in detail how the Lottery retailer will achieve
compliance with this Rule 2.A within 60 days of the issuance of the letter of noncompliance. The Lottery may grant the Lottery retailer additional time to submit the plan
for good cause. Within 10 days of the submission of the plan, the Lottery shall notify the
applicant/Lottery retailer of the Lottery’s acceptance or rejection of the plan, and the
reasons for such decision.
c) Construction
1) Readily achievable modifications must be made within 60 days of the date the letter of noncompliance is mailed to the Lottery retailer. If within 60 days, the Lottery retailer has not
eliminated the deficiencies cited in the letter of noncompliance, but has submitted a
written request for an extension of time, the Lottery may grant a 180-day extension for
good cause. Notice of this extension will be sent to the complainant, if applicable, and the
Lottery retailer, and any such extension will commence immediately upon expiration of
the first 60-day period.
2) If the corrective action taken by the Lottery retailer corrects the deficiencies specified in the
letter of non-compliance as originally issued or later revised, or, if the on-site inspection of
the Lottery retailer’s physical location reveals compliance with this Rule 2.A, the Lottery
will issue a notice of compliance. Until this notice is issued, a complaint will be
considered pending.
3) Failure to make readily achievable modifications within the required time period and in
agreement with the ADA compliance plan may result in the initiation of proceedings to
suspend or revoke the license by the Lottery pursuant to the procedural requirements of
State law.

evidence presented to it.

submit data or evidence shall be entitled to the benefit of legal counsel of his own choosing and
at his own expense, but a person may appear for himself. An attorney who is witness may not act
as counsel for the party calling him as a witness. Any party, upon payment of a reasonable
charge therefor, shall be entitled to procure a copy of the transcript of his testimony if it is

the Department of Revenue of the panel member's decision within thirty (30) days of the date on

Revenue shall notify the Lottery Director and the licensee of such acceptance in writing, and the
order of the Felony Review Panel shall be deemed final on the date of such written notice.
f) If two or more members of the Felony Review Panel reject the Lottery Director's final order, the Director

designation. Payment of an annuitized or installment prize begins at age 18 or older and payment

legal entity fails to execute evidence of such designation, the lottery director shall designate the
person on whose life the prize is to be paid.

the entry owner or holder until such time as he/she is satisfied that the prize is to be paid to the
proper person.

Identification Number (FEIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service and such number is shown
on the claim form. Groups, family units, clubs, or organizations without an FEIN shall designate
one individual in whose name the claim is to be filed. If a claim is erroneously entered with
multiple claimants, the claimants shall designate one of them as the individual recipient of the
prize, or, if they fail to designate an individual recipient, the Director may designate any one of the
claimants as the sole recipient. In either case, the claim shall then be considered as if it were
originally entered in the name of the designated individual and payment of any prizes won shall
be made to that single individual. Once a winning entry is validated, it will not be returned to the
winner, but will remain the property of the Lottery.

ticket is invalid and ineligible for any prize. Valid, sellable tickets resulting from clerk error will not be
eligible for credit.

b) Prize Categories - The Grand Prize shall be determined on a pari-mutuel basis. Except as provided in
3) below, all other prizes awarded shall be paid as set prizes with the foregoing expected prize
payout percentages:
1) The prize money allocated to tile Grand Prize category shall be divided equally by the number
of game boards matching all five (5) of the first set plus one (1) of the second set.
2) In the event that the “POWERBALL®” Grand Prize reaches a new high annuitized amount,
through a procedure as determined by the “POWERBALL®” Product Group, the
maximum amount to be allocated to the Grand Prize pool from the Grand Prize
percentage shall be the previous high amount plus $25 million (annuitized), or as
otherwise set by the Product Group, for each future drawing until the Grand Prize is won.
i) Any amount of the Grand Prize percentage which exceeds the amount needed to fund
the increase shall be placed in a separate Match 5 Bonus Prize pool. The Match
5 Bonus Prize pool thereby created shall accumulate until the Grand Prize is
won.
ii) When the Grand Prize is won, the money in the Match 5 Bonus Prize pool shall be
divided equally by the number of tickets winning the Second (Match 5) Prize for
that drawing. If there are no Second (Match 5) Prize winners for the drawing in
which the Grand Prize is won, the Match 5 Bonus Prize pool shall be divided
iii) Winners of shares of the Match 5 Bonus Prize Pool also shall be awarded the original
amount won on the ticket, i.e. the Second Prize or Third Prize as defined in
14.A.6.a) and, if applicable, the Power Play Option prize as defined in Rule
14.B.7 in addition to their share of the Match 5 Bonus Prize pool.
iv) Bonus prizes shall be paid in one cash lump sum.
3) The prize pool percentage allocated to the 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. If the total of all party lotteries' set prizes awarded in a drawing exceeds the
percentage of the prize pool allocated to the set prizes, then the amount needed to fund
the set prizes awarded Shall be drawn from the following sources, in the following order:
i) The amount available in the set prize payout variance account.
ii) If the set prize payout variance account is not sufficient to pay the set prizes awarded,
an amount from the set prize reserve account is used, if available, not to exceed
an amount established by MUSL.
iii) If after these sources are depleted, sufficient funds do not exist to pay the set prizes
awarded, 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 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.
14.A.7 Prize Reserve Accounts
a) The MUSL Board manages three (3) prize reserve accounts (pools) associated with POWERBALL®.
The MUSL Board holds these reserves in crust on behalf of the Lottery, and interest is earned by
the Lottery. All deposits will be reported on Lottery records as “Cash Held by MUSL”.
1) Set-Aside Pool (Grand Prize Base Reserve) is used to guarantee payment of the minimum or
starting grand prize as established by the Product Group.
2) Prize Reserve Trust (Grand Prize Reserve) is used to guarantee payment of valid, but
unanticipated, grand prize claims that may result from a system error or for any other
reason the normal contributions from sales are not adequate.
3) Set-Prize Reserve Pool is used to guarantee the payment of the set cash prize
4) The Product Group may determine to expend all or a portion of the funds in the prize reserve
accounts for the payment of prizes or special prizes in the game.
b) Initial Contributions to the Reserves When the Lottery becomes a member of the POWERBALL®
Product Group, the MUSL Board determines an initial contribution to be made by the Lottery to
the foregoing reserves. The Lottery must deposit the specified amounts with the MUSL Board in
accordance with the payment plan established between the Lottery and MUSL.
c) Subsequent Contributions to the Reserves
In the event any reserve balance(s), specified above, falls below the balance established by the
MUSL Board, a portion of the prize pool contribution shall be used to replenish the reserve(s).
Should any reserve(s) require replenishment, the contribution from sales to the Grand Prize shall
be reduced from 32.6689% of sales to no less than 30.6689% of sales (up to two percent (2%) of
sales). Replenishment of the Grand Prize Base Reserve (Set-Aside Pool) shall have priority over
the Prize Reserve Trust and the Set-Prize Reserve Pool.
d) In the event the Lottery decides to withdraw from the Product Group, the remaining balances of the
Lottery's contribution will be refunded to the Lottery.
14.A.8 Prize Payment
a) Grand Prizes.
1) Grand Prizes shall be paid, at the election of the ticket bearer by a single cash payment or in a
series of annuity payments. The ticket bearer becomes entitled to the prize at the time the
prize is validated as a winner. The election to take the cash payment or annuity payments
may be made at the time the prize is validated or within 60 days after the ticket bearer
becomes entitled to the prize. An election made after the ticket bearer becomes entitled
to the prize is final and cannot be revoked, withdrawn or otherwise changed. If the ticket
bearer does not make the election at the time the prize is validated and requests the 60day election period, the Lottery will cancel the prize warrant that was generated during
validation. The validation record will be kept secured and on file at the Lottery office until
the ticket bearer makes an election. If the ticket bearer does not make the payment
election within 60 days after validation, then the prize shall be paid as an annuity prize.
2) Shares of the Grand Prize shall be determined by dividing the cash available in the Grand
Prize pool equally among all boards matching all five (5) of the first set plus one (1) of the
second set of drawn numbers. Winner(s) who elect a cash payment shall be paid their
share(s) in a single cash payment. The annuitized option prize shall be determined by
multiplying a winner's share of the Grand Prize pool by the MUSL annuity factor. Neither
MUSL nor the party 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 Paragraph 14.A.8 e) of this Rule 14.A. If individual shares of the cash held to fund an
annuity are less than $250,000, the Product Group, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay
the winners their share of the cash held in the Grand Prize pool.
3) All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) equal payments with the initial
payment being made in cash, to be followed by twenty-nine (29) payments funded by the
annuity.
4) Funds for the initial payment of an annuitized prize or the lump sum cash prize shall be made
available by MUSL for payment by the Lottery no earlier than the fifteenth calendar day
(or the next banking day if the fifteenth 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 amount may be delayed pending receipt of funds from
the party lotteries. The Lottery may elect to make the initial payment from its own funds
after validation, with notice to MUSL.
5) Subsequent annuity payments shall be made by the Lottery. The Grand Prize amount held by
MUSL for subsequent payment to annuity winners shall be transferred to the Lottery
seven days preceding the first working day preceding the anniversary of the awarded
Grand Prize.
6) In the event of the death of a lottery winner during the annuity payment period, the
POWERBALL® Product Group, in its sole discretion, upon the petition of the estate of the
lottery winner (the “Estate”) to the Lottery, and subject to federal, state, or district
applicable laws, may accelerate the payment of all of the remaining lottery proceeds to
the Estate. If the Product Group makes such a determination, 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 Product Group.
b) Set Prizes
The Director's decision with respect to the validation and payment of set prizes, whether during a
POWERBALL® game or any drawing related thereto, shall be final and binding upon all
participants in the Lottery.
All set prizes (all prizes except the Grand Prize) shall be paid by the Lottery. The Lottery may
begin paying set prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central office.
c) 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 cash payment to the winner or winners.
Set Prizes, which, under these rules, may become pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so
that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding these
prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.
d) Roll-over
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 Prizes
The POWERBALL® 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 POWERBALL® 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 POWERBALL® 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 winners. If there are multiple 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 average
annuity factor of the most recent three best quotes provided by MUSL's pre-approved qualified
brokers submitting quotes. In no case shall quotes be used which are more than two weeks old
and if less than three quotes are submitted, then MUSL shall use the average of all quotes
submitted. 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 these rules. Minimum
guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in
Paragraph 14.A.6 b) 2) of this Rule 14.A becomes necessary.
14.A.9 Prize Accounts
a) Prize Funds Transferred to MUSL
The Lottery shall transfer to the MUSL in trust an amount as determined to be its total
proportionate share of the prize account less actual set prize liability. If this results in a negative
amount, the MUSL central office shall transfer funds to the Lottery.
b) Grand Prize and Match 5 Bonus Prize Funds Transferred to Lottery
Grand Prize and Match 5 Bonus Prize amounts held by MUSL shall be transferred to the Lottery
immediately after the Lottery validates the prize claim and after MUSL has collected the prize pool
shares from all member lotteries, except that MUSL may transfer any Match 5 Bonus amount
immediately if it has funds sufficient to do so.
c) Unclaimed Grand Prize and Match 5 Bonus Prizes
All funds to pay a Grand Prize or a Match 5 Bonus Prize that is unclaimed shall be returned to the
Lottery in proportion to sales by the Lottery for the Grand Prize or a Match 5 Bonus Prize in
question after the claiming period set by the lottery selling the winning ticket expires.
14.A.10 Funds Transfer
a) Draw Receivables from Member Lotteries
Funds shah be collected by MUSL from each Party Lottery weekly by wire transfer or other
means acceptable to the POWERBALL® Product Group. The POWERBALL® Product Group
shall determine collection days. The amount to be transferred shall be calculated in accordance
with game rules. The draw reports determine whether the member lotteries owe funds to MUSL or
MUSL needs to transfer money to the member lotteries. Each Party Lottery shall transfer to
MUSL an amount as determined by MUSL and the Product Group to be its total proportionate
share of the prize account less actual set prize liability. If this results in a negative amount, the
MUSL central office shall transfer funds to the Party Lottery.
b) Initial Grand Prize Funds Transferred to Lottery
The Grand Prize amount held by MUSL shall be transferred to the Lottery after the Lottery
validates the Grand Prize claim and after MUSL has collected the prize pool shares from all
member lotteries.
c) Subsequent Grand Prize Payments from MUSL to Member Lotteries.
The Grand Prize amount held by MUSL for subsequent payment to annuity winners shall be
transferred to the Lottery seven days preceding the first working day preceding the anniversary of
the awarded grand prize. The Lottery will then make payment to the annuity winner.
14.A.11 Drawings
a) The POWEPBALL® drawings shall be held twice each week on Wednesday and Saturday evenings,
except that the drawing schedule may be changed by the MUSL Board.
b) Each drawing shall determine, at random, six winning numbers in accordance with drawing guidelines.
The Lottery Commission shall review and approve drawing guidelines. Any numbers drawn are
not declared winning numbers until the drawing is certified by MUSL in accordance with the
POWERBALL® drawing guidelines. The winning numbers shall be used in determining all
POWERBALL® winners for that drawing. If a drawing is not certified, another drawing will be
conducted to determine actual winners.
c) Each drawing shall be witnessed by an independent certified public accountant. All drawing equipment
used shall be examined by the independent certified public accountant immediately prior to, but
no sooner than thirty (30) minutes before, a drawing and immediately after, but no later than thirty
(30) minutes following the drawing.
d) The drawing shall not be invalidated based on the liability of the Lottery.
e) The drawing procedures shall provide that a minimum of fifty-nine (59) minutes elapse between the
close of the game ticket sales and the time of the drawing for those tickets sold. All drawings shall
be open to the public and shall be witnessed by an independent certified public accountant and
other Lottery officials as may be required by statute or rule. Any equipment used in a drawing
shall be inspected and tested in the presence of an independent certified public accountant, both
