Bonus Payments to Sales Agents

In addition to the prize structure set forth in 961 CMR 2.40, incentive prize bonuses as determined by the Director are awarded to the Sales Agents as they relate to certain prizes awarded to the holders of winning tickets sold by the Sales Agents. Said bonuses are computed at 1% of the face amount of the prize; and no bonus payments shall be made to Sales Agents which exceed the sum of $25,000; except in the case of THE WHEEL OF LUCK, ALL OR NOTHING, LUCKY FOR LIFE, MEGABUCKS, MEGA MILLIONS and POWERBALL where no bonus payments shall be made to Sales Agents which exceed the sum of $50,000; except in a particular instant game where the bonus payment on a specific prize shall be set forth in the Administrative Bulletin for that game. In the event of a bonus award to a Sales Agent as it relates to certain prizes awarded to the holders of winning tickets sold by the Sales Agent in the form of Season Tickets, the bonus shall be awarded only to the original Sales Agent provided that the license of said Sales Agent has not been terminated. The identification of Sales Agents entitled to these bonuses will be made in the central computerized files of the Lottery. Bonuses will be paid following verification of the winning ticket holder's claim or for all games other than the instant games within a reasonable time in the case of unclaimed prizes. All determinations relative to Sales Agent's bonuses due or owing shall be made by the Director whose decision and judgments shall be final and binding upon all parties in interest.
