What Happens When You Win?
Jackpot winners can choose between an annuity or a lump-sum cash option. The annuity consists of one initial payment followed by 29 increasing annual payments. This structure aims to help maintain the winner’s purchasing power amid inflation. The cash option provides an immediate one-time payment equivalent to the total cash in the jackpot prize pool.
If multiple winners emerge from the same drawing, the jackpot amount is shared equally among the ticket holders.
