Each lifetime award is paid as an annuity with at least 20 years of guaranteed payments. If a winner dies during that time, their beneficiary or estate receives what remains of the guarantee. A lump-sum option is available, but that election is irreversible; when multiple tickets win the same lifetime prize category, a cash payout is mandatory.
