If, in a MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Drawing, no MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Plays qualify for the Top Prize, the prize money allocated to the Top Prize and Millionaires' Club Prize Pool (as described in the Product Group's MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Game Rules) will be carried forward and added to the Top Prize and Millionaires' Club Prize Pool (as described in the Product Group's MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Game Rules) for the next MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Drawing, until the Top Prize reaches the maximum annuitized amount of $25,000,000, at which point all additional prize money will be allocated to the Millionaires' Club Prizes until the Top Prize is won. Prize money allocated to the Top Prize will be divided into as many shares as there are Top Prize winning MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Plays as described in subsection 7(a)(1)(i) below.
(i) Shares of the Top Prize shall be determined as follows:
(A) If there are multiple Top Prize winners during a single drawing none of whom select the cash prize option, then a winner's share of the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize shall be determined by dividing the guaranteed annuitized Top Prize by the number of winning MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Plays.
(B) If there are multiple Top Prize winners during a single drawing and at least one, but not all, of whom selects the cash prize option, a winner's share of the Top Prize shall be determined in accordance with the Product Group's MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB Game Rules.

(iii) If individual shares of the cash held to fund an annuity are less than $250,000, the Lottery, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the winners their share of the cash allocated for the payment of the Top Prize in a lump sum cash payment.
(iv) The Top Prize will be paid as an annuity prize unless a player elects in writing to receive the Top Prize as a lump-sum cash payment. The election must be made in writing within sixty (60) days from the date the Lottery determines the player is entitled to a Top Prize, and is irrevocable.
(v) 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. Amounts left over as a result of rounding an annuitized Top Prize win shall be added to the first payment to the winner or winners.
