(a)Prizes that are less than the threshold withholding amount for Federal tax reporting will be placed into the player account created prior to purchase of the player’s first subscription. Such prizes may be used to purchase additional subscriptions or the player may request a cash-out and receive payment for any unpaid prizes. Payment will be made to the individual subscriber or group representative whose name appears on the application.
(b)Prizes that meet or exceed the threshold amount for Federal withholding for an individual will be remitted to the individual subscriber whose name appears on the application minus the required withholding amount.
(c)For payment of a prize that meets or exceeds the threshold amount for Federal withholding to a group subscriber, a payment representing the designated share of the prize will be remitted to each individual member of the group. If the subscription or renewal application does not show the taxpayer identification number (social security number or Federal employer identification number) of each group member, the division will withhold appropriate income taxes in accordance with the applicable back-up withholding rules.
(d)A group subscription entry will be treated as a single entry in the prize pool and shall also be treated as a single entry when determining if a prize in the game is payable in annual installments as provided in this Title.
