2. MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB TELEVISION GAME SHOW DESCRIPTION

a. In conjunction with the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB lottery game, the Product Group will produce a TV Show. The TV Show will be produced at times and places approved by the Product Group for broadcast at times approved by the Product Group.

b. Contests played on the TV Show shall be operated in a manner as approved by the Product Group.

c. Eligibility. An Account Holder may be selected for the Second Chance Prize by registering one or more Qualifying Properties on the Website with a Webcode and creating MONOPOLY Property Sets, according to the requirements of these Rules. A Prizewinner must be present in the studio audience to be eligible to participate as an on-stage participant in a game or games to be conducted on the TV Show. Unless designated as a Proxy, Guests of Prizewinners are not eligible to be selected as an on- stage game participant.

d. How to Register. To register for a chance to win the Second Chance Prize, a person must visit the Website and become an Account Holder by providing his or her name, certifying that he or she is 18 years of age or older, and providing all other identifying information requested. The Account Holder must enter the Webcode assigned to the Ticket, which will register the Qualifying Property indicated on the Ticket in the Account Holder’s account. Each Webcode registered in the Account Holder’s account also awards one additional Bonus Qualifying Property. Additionally, when a Player initially registers as an Account Holder, he or she will receive a Community Chest Card that awards the Player a completed MONOPOLY Property Group.

For all additional Webcodes registered to an Account Holder’s account following initial registration, the Account Holder will receive the associated Qualifying Property from the Ticket and one (1) additional Bonus Qualifying Property. All Qualifying Properties populate the Account Holder’s personal online MONOPOLY game board. Each time the Account Holder collects a MONOPOLY Property Set, he or she receives the associated number of Entries in the next drawing for the Second Chance Prize. As MONOPOLY Property Sets are completed, Entries are automatically submitted, and the properties are cleared off the Account Holder’s board, allowing the Account Holder to collect the same MONOPOLY Property Set again, should the Account Holder accumulate the same Qualifying Properties. Entries are only valid for specific drawings and must be registered prior to the entry deadline.

3. STUDIO AUDIENCE MEMBERS

a. Selection of Prizewinners. As specified by the Product Group and posted on the Website, drawings will be conducted to select Prizewinners. Prizewinners shall be selected from those Account Holders whose accounts have accumulated Entries during the drawing period. For each such drawing, a minimum of three (3) New Jersey Account Holders shall be selected as Prizewinners. Each Prizewinner shall have the right to participate in a selection process to be chosen as an on-stage participant on the TV Show, and to compete for prizes awarded to the winners of such game elements. Drawing dates and entry deadlines for each drawing will be posted on the Website. An Account Holder may only win one (1) Second Chance Prize per drawing period.

b. Second Chance Prizes Awarded. Each Account Holder that is selected will receive: $500 spending money, transportation, meals, and lodging expenses (four days and five nights) for himself or herself and a Guest to travel to and from Las Vegas, Nevada for the TV Show taping. The estimated value of each Second Chance Prize is $6,500.00 inclusive of applicable taxes.

c. Deadline for Qualifying For Second Chance Prizes. After each drawing, selected Account Holders will be contacted, as soon as possible, using the information provided by the Account Holder on their account. Selected Account Holders must respond within five (5) business days of the drawing in order to claim the Second Chance Prize. Failure to do so shall result in the Second Chance Prize being forfeited to an Alternate Account Holder. The Lottery has no liability to Account Holders who fail to respond or to Account Holders who fail to receive communications as a result of Account Holder’s failure to accurately enter or update their information on their account.

d. Alternate Selection of Studio Audience Members. After the selection of the three (3) Account Holders for each drawing, the Lottery will draw a minimum of three (3) alternate Account Holders. In the event that any of the three originally selected Account Holders are unwilling or unable to accept their Second Chance Prize award, for whatever reason, or if they fail to respond within ten (10) business days of the drawing, or if Lottery is unable to contact a selected Account Holder, than an alternate Account Holder, starting with the first alternate Account Holder selected, will be given the opportunity to accept the Second Chance Prize award. The number of Alternate Studio Audience Members selected for each drawing is subject to change at the discretion of the Director.

e. Requirements for Each TV Show Audience.

i. The Product Group has determined that each studio audience shall consist of 125 Prizewinners from Participating Lotteries plus 125 Guests. All Prizewinners and Guests must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. No minors are permitted to attend or participate in the TV Show.

ii. The Producer retains the right to appoint a Proxy for any Prizewinner selected for on-stage participation on the TV Show at any time and for any reason.

iii. The Product Group may select additional Account Holders (in addition to the minimum of three (3) Account Holders) for Second Chance Prizes. The number of additional Account Holders selected will be predicated proportionally on sales of Monopoly Millionaires’ Club Lottery Tickets in New Jersey relative to ticket sales in other Product Group member jurisdictions.

iv. No transfers; Exceptions. A Prizewinner shall not have the right to transfer such selection to another person or Proxy, except that the Director in his/her sole discretion, may permit the selected registered Account Holder to appoint a Proxy reasonably acceptable to the Lottery to participate as a studio audience member in place of the selected registered account holder, but in such a case the Second Chance Prize together with any prize(s) awarded as a result of participation in the studio audience or in a game element on the TV Show shall be deemed to be received by the selected Account Holder, not the Proxy.

v. No Cash Options; Exceptions. A Prizewinner shall not have the right to decline the payment of expenses for transportation, meals, spending money and lodging to and from the TV Show in exchange for a sum of money equivalent to the value of such expenses; except in a case where the Director, in his/her sole discretion, determines that such registered account holder is legally subject to the offset of such expense payments per Section 3(vi) of this Addendum.

vi. Garnishments and Set-offs. All Prizes, including those won by a Prizewinner on the TV Show, may be subject to garnishment per N.J.S.A. 5:9-13.5, 13.14, and 13.17 in accordance with the procedures in N.J.A.C. 17:42-1.1 et seq. and N.J.A.C. 17:43-1.1 et seq. In such a case, the amount determined by the Product Group to be equivalent to the value of the Second Chance Prize may be offset and applied to the Prizewinner’s obligations in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of New Jersey. Specifically, the cash equivalent of the aforementioned prize components will be applied to all such debts owed to the State of New Jersey. Any remaining balance after the garnishments, if any, will be awarded to the Prizewinner as a cash prize. If the Prizewinner is able to immediately and independently satisfy any such debt that would otherwise subject the Second Chance Prize to garnishment under this section, the Lottery will not pursue the liquidation of Second Chance Prize for set-off purposes.

f. Taxes. Any and all federal or state taxes are the responsibility of the Account Holder or Prizewinner. For tax reporting purposes, Prizewinners shall be required to furnish appropriate taxpayer identification information.
