Player Responsibility. It shall be the sole responsibility of the player to verify the accuracy of the game play or plays and other data printed on the ticket. The placing of plays is done at the player's own risk through the licensed sales agent who is acting on behalf of the player in entering the play or plays.
The prize money allocated to the Top Prize category shall be divided equally by the number of plays winning the Top Prize.

Pari-Mutuel Prize Determinations
Fund Transfer. On a weekly basis, or as otherwise determined by the Product Group, the Agency will transfer, in trust, an amount as determined by the Product Group to be the Agency's total proportionate share of the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUBT license and vendor fees, which include the television game show prizes, and studio audience member travel expenses.
Unclaimed Top Prizes and Millionaires' Club Prizes. All funds to pay a Top Prize or Millionaires' Club Prize that had been collected by the MUSL central office and that went unclaimed shall be returned to the Lotteries in proportion to sales by the Lotteries for the prize(s) in question, after the claiming period set by the Lottery selling the winning ticket expires.
Prize Payments
Millionaires' Club and Set Prize Payments. All Millionaires' Club Prizes and Set Prizes (all prizes except the Top Prize, whether described as "cash" payment prizes or otherwise) for tickets sold by licensed sales agents in the District of Columbia and validated according to the Agency's rules shall be paid by the Agency and at the discretion of the Agency by check, warrant, or wire transfer. The Agency may begin paying Millionaires' Club Prizes and Set Prizes after receiving authorization to pay from the MUSL central office.
Prizes Rounded. Annuitized payments of the Top Prize or a share of the Top Prize may be rounded to facilitate the purchase of an appropriate funding mechanism. Breakage on an annuitized Top Prize win shall be added to the first payment to the verified winner or winners. Set Prizes, which, under this rule, may become single-payment, pari-mutuel prizes, may be rounded down so that prizes can be paid in multiples of whole dollars. Breakage resulting from rounding Set Prizes shall be carried forward to the prize pool for the next drawing.
Funding of Guaranteed Prizes. The Product Group may offer guaranteed minimum Top Prize amounts, guaranteed minimum numbers of Millionaires' Club winners, minimum increases in the Top Prize amount between drawings, minimum increases in the number of Millionaires' Club winners between drawings, or make other changes in the allocation of prize money where the Product Group finds that it would be in the best interest of the game. If a minimum Top Prize amount or a minimum increase in the Top Prize between drawings is offered by the Product Group, then shares of the Top Prize shall be determined as follows: If there are multiple Top Prize winning plays during a single drawing, each selecting the annuitized option prize, then a winning play's share of the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize by the number of winning plays. If there are multiple Top Prize winning plays during a single drawing and at least one (1) of the Top Prize claimants has elected the annuitized option prize, then the best bid submitted by the MUSL central office's pre-approved qualified brokers shall determine the cash pool needed to fund the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize. If no claimant of the Top Prize during a single drawing has elected the annuitized option prize, then the amount of cash in the Top Prize Pool shall be an amount equal to the guaranteed annuitized amount divided by the average annuity factor of the most recent three (3) best quotes provided by pre-approved qualified brokers submitting quotes. In no case shall quotes be used which are more than two (2) weeks old, and if less than three (3) quotes are submitted, then the MUSL central office 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, as set out in MUSL's MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUBT Game Rules. Minimum guaranteed prizes or increases may be waived if the alternate funding mechanism set out in subsection 971.11 of this Chapter becomes necessary. The annuity factor is determined by the best total securities price obtained through a competitive bid of qualified, pre-approved brokers made after it is determined that the prize is to be paid as an annuity prize. Neither MUSL, the Product Group, nor the 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 the MUSL central office.
Prize Limited to Highest Prize Won. Except for the Millionaires' Club Prizes, the holder of a winning ticket may win only one (1) prize for that ticket's play and shall be entitled only to the prize won by those numbers in the highest matching prize category. The status of a ticket with a winning play based on a match between the play and the Winning Numbers on that ticket shall have no effect on that ticket's ability to win (if drawn) a Millionaires' Club Prize.
Millionaires' Club Prize. Independent of a ticket's status as an apparent winning ticket due to a match with the Winning Numbers, each ticket in a MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUBT drawing is eligible to win a Millionaires' Club Prize if (and only if), on that game draw, Millionaires' Club Prizes are awarded. If a ticket is a winning play under both drawings, the prize paid shall be the sum of both the Top Prize or Set Prize (Level 2-10 prizes) and the Millionaires' Club Prize. At the start of each new MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUBT roll cycle, ten (10) Millionaires' Club Prizes will be available. As determined by the Product Group, more Millionaires' Club Prizes may be added, during the roll cycle, with each drawing until the Top Prize is won and the Millionaires' Club Prizes are drawn.
