Texas Lottery regulations require players to make a binding choice of either cash value option (CVO) or annual pay (AP) when playing Lotto Texas, Mega Millions, and Powerball. This is unlike other lotteries, which generally allow players, including winners of annuitized scratch-game prizes, to make this choice after winning. All three games indicated (including Mega Millions and Powerball within Texas) initially had annual pay as the default option. As of 2014, if a playslip is not marked with either choice, the playslip is rejected. The Texas Lottery is the only one offering Powerball that does not allow the cash value option to be chosen after winning Powerball.
