Prize pool and payment

1. The prize pool for all prize categories must consist of fifty-one percent of each draw period's sales after the prize reserve account is funded. 2. The prize pool percentage allocated to prizes must be carried forward to a subsequent draw if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the prizes awarded in the current draw. 3. If there are more than ten grand prize winning plays in a draw, the following applies: a. For a draw on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the maximum grand prize liability is two hundred twenty thousand dollars which is paid on a pari-mutuel basis among all grand prize winning plays. b. For a draw on Tuesday, the maximum grand prize liability is four hundred forty thousand dollars which is paid on a pari-mutuel basis among the grand prize winning plays based on each type of prize. For example, if there are seven standard grand prize winning plays ($22,000) and four Tuesday double grand prize winning plays ($44,000), each standard winning play would be allocated $20,000 and each Tuesday double grand prize winning play would be allocated $40,000, computed as follows: Standard Prize Tuesday Double Prize Value of each grand prize winning play $22,000 $44,000 Number of grand prize winning plays x7 x4 Total value of grand prize winning plays $154,000 $176,000 Maximum number of grand prize winning plays 10 Actual number of grand prize winning plays 11 Ratio of maximum number to actual number .909090 .909090 Total pari-mutuel amount available for prizes $140,000 $160,000 Number of grand prize winning plays ÷7 ÷4 Pari-mutuel amount of each winning play $20,000 $40,000 4. A "free ticket" prize must be a free quick pick 2BY2 ticket for the next upcoming draw. 5. The lottery may not pay a grand or set cash prize until after it receives authorization from the MUSL. The lottery may pay the prize before it receives the funds from the MUSL.
