Choose How You Get Paid

Cash Option
With Cash Option, you choose to receive your portion of the jackpot prize pool all at once.

Annual Payout
If you prefer Annual Payout, your portion of the jackpot prize pool plus interest will be distributed to you in 26 annual payments. That’s guaranteed prize money coming in every year for 26 years.

 
How Cash Option Works
When you pick up a playslip, you will see a box that reads Cash Option. If you know at that time that you would prefer all of your winnings at one time, mark this box. If you do not mark the Cash Option box, your jackpot prize winnings plus interest will be distributed to you in twenty-six (26) annual payments.

If you are a jackpot prize winner but did not choose Cash Option at the time of purchase, you will have 60 days from the date of your prize claim to decide if you want to choose Cash Option.

If you choose Cash Option at the time of ticket purchase, the amount will be the current cash value of the jackpot prize pool. If you choose Cash Option within 60 days of your prize claim, the amount will be the proceeds from the sale of investments held to fund the 26 annual payments.

Winners who choose annual payments will be taxed on each year’s winnings as they receive them. Winners who choose Cash Option will receive their entire winnings all at once and will be taxed on the entire amount at the same time.

 
Why Is The Cash Option Jackpot Less Than The Advertised Jackpot?
The MEGA MILLIONS States advertise the jackpot at its estimated 26-year value. When the MEGA MILLIONS States pay prizes over 26 years, the first annual payment is cash. For the remaining 25 years, we buy U.S. Government Treasury Securities, which earn interest and mature annually. That annual return is the amount winners receive each year.

For example,* if the MEGA MILLIONS States estimate a jackpot of $10 million to be paid over 26 years, the approximate cash value is $5.3 million. With Cash Option, the winner receives the cash value in one payment less required tax withholdings as opposed to $10 million over 26 years less required annual tax withholdings.

*All figures used in the above example are based on payments to a single winner and on sales and interest rate yields as of 4/2/02 (5.6%).
