10 Del. Admin. Code § 202-23.0 - Payment of Prizes

23.1 All prizes will be paid within a reasonable time after the winning numbers are announced and after the claims are verified by the Director. For each prize requiring annual payments, all payments after the first payment will be made on the anniversary date of the first payment in accordance with the type of prize awarded. The Director may delay, at any time, any payment in order to review a change of circumstances relative to the prize awarded, the payee, the claim, or any other matter that may have come to his attention. All delayed payments will be made once the Director confirms the circumstances of the prize payment, and payments will continue to be paid on each original anniversary date thereafter.

23.2 The Lottery Office is a participating member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) and the Mega Millions Product Group (M2G2). Neither the MUSL, M2G2, nor the member lotteries, including the Lottery, will 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 or M2G2. In certain instances announced by the MUSL or M2G2, the Grand Prize will be an estimated amount and will be determined pursuant to MUSL or M2G2 rules and procedures.
