(c) The single payment prizes (for payment of single payment prizes of $1,000,000 or less) shall be carried forward to subsequent draws if all or a portion of it is not needed to pay the set prizes awarded in the current draw.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in these rules, if the total of the MM set prizes (as multiplied by the respective multiplier or Megaplier multiplier, if applicable) awarded in a drawing exceeds the percentage of the prize pool allocated to the MM set prizes, then the amount needed to fund the MM set prizes, including Megaplier prizes, awarded shall be drawn from the following sources in the following order:
(1) the amount available from the single set prizes and the megaplier prize pool, if any;
(2) an amount from the prize reserve account, if available, not to exceed $40,000,000 per drawing;
(3) If, after these sources are depleted, there are not sufficient funds to pay the set prizes awarded, including Megaplier prizes, then the highest set prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. If the amount of the highest set prize, including megaplier prizes, when paid on a pari-mutuel basis, drops to or below the next highest set prize and there are still not sufficient funds to pay the remaining set prizes awarded, then the next highest set prize shall become a pari-mutuel prize. This procedure shall continue down through all set prize levels, if necessary, until all set prize levels become pari-mutuel prize levels. In that instance, the money available from the funding sources shall be divided among the winning MM plays in proportion to their respective prize percentages. Mega Millions and megaplier prizes will be reduced by the same percentage; and
(4) By agreement with the Mega Millions lotteries, the Mega Millions lotteries shall independently calculate their set pari-mutuel prize amounts. The party lotteries and the Mega Millions lotteries shall then agree to set the pari-mutuel prize amount for all lotteries selling the game at the lesser of the independently-calculated prize amounts.
(e) Except as may be required by these rules, the official advertised grand prize annuity amount is subject to change based on sales forecasts and/or actual sales.
