*For each drawing, 50 percent of Cash 5 gross sales are allocated to the total winnings pool. After the fourth prizes are deducted from the pool, the remaining prize money is allocated to the first, second and third prize categories, and then divided equally among the winning plays in each category. (Example: if there is only one winner, that person wins the entire prize category amount; if there are 10 winners, the prize category amount is divided into 10 equal shares.) All prizes are paid in cash.
