THE EVENT DETAILS:
The Event shall be part of a multistate lottery promotion and attending grand prize trip winners from other state lotteries (collectively and with the attending Grand Prize Winners, the "Multistate Winners") shall participate in the Event. During the Event, each Multistate Winner shall have the opportunity to win a minimum cash prize of two thousand dollars ($2,000), with one Multistate winner having the opportunity to win potentially up to one million dollars ($1,000,000). The Event shall consist of the following:
- Round 1: Each Multistate Winner will spin the Wheel of Fortune having wedges with dollar amounts ranging from two thousand dollars ($2,000) to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) and will win the cash prize amount on the wedge the spin stops at. The cash prize will be revealed by the Multistate Player picking up the wedge, turning it over, and revealing it to the crowd.
- Round 2 - Bonus Wheel Round: Each Multistate Winner's name will be placed into a drawing drum. Twelve (12) Multistate Winners' names will be randomly selected. The Wheel of Fortune Bonus Wheel will have twelve (12) envelopes each containing a card. Each of the twelve (12) randomly selected Multistate Winners will select one (1) envelope. Three (3) envelopes will contain a card that indicates a multiplier of two times (2x). Three (3) envelopes will contain a card that indicates a multiplier of three times (3x). Each Multistate Winner that selects one of these envelopes will have the cash prize amount they won in Round 1 multiplied by two (2) or three (3), respectively, and that amount will be their cash prize. Three (3) envelopes will contain a card that indicates an additional cash prize, ranging from twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) to thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). Three (3) envelopes will contain a card that awards a Mystery Wedge, which advances those Multistate Winners to the Puzzleboard round and awards a multiplier or additional cash prize.
- Round 3 - Puzzleboard Round: The Wheel of Fortune puzzleboard ("Puzzleboard") will appear with the words “Wheel of Fortune Mega Money Maker” illuminated. A final drawing will occur to establish the order in which the remaining three (3) Multistate Winners will approach the Puzzleboard and select three (3) individual letters from the phrase “Wheel of Fortune Mega Money Maker.” Each individual letter will either reveal an additional cash prize amount or will have “Mega,” “Money,” or “Maker” associated with that letter. If the selected letters have a prize value assigned to them, the player will win the cumulative value of each of the three letters and their winnings from Rounds 1 and 2. If the player selects the three letters representing “Mega,” Money,” and “Maker” (in that order), they will win up to the top prize of up to potentially one million dollars ($1,000,000)!
- Round 4 - Final Round: If any Multistate Winner wins the top prize, gameplay will conclude. If no player wins the top prize, the player with the highest cumulative amount after Round 3 will be the Finalist (“Finalist”) and will proceed to the MEGA MONEY MAKER round. The Finalist will spin the Wheel of Fortune to reveal a multiplier. The multiplier will be revealed by the Multistate Player picking up the wedge, turning it over, and revealing it to the crowd. The Finalist’s cumulative prize will be multiplied by the multiplier on the wedge the spin stops at and that will be their total cash prize.
- If the Grand Prize Winner or transferee is unable to attend the Event, a designee appointed by the Grand Prize Winner may fill in as a proxy at the Event. In the event that a Grand Prize Winner is unable to appoint a proxy, an IGT representative shall fill in as a proxy for the Grand Prize winner at the Event. Any cash prize won by any such proxy shall be awarded to the Grand Prize Winner who appointed the proxy or on whose behalf the proxy was appointed.
- In the event that the Mega Money Maker Event may not proceed as planned for any reason, IGT shall provide a prize replacement for the Grand Prize Trip winners that has an equal or greater value than the Grand Prize Trip itself.
