4. The Event shall be part of a multi-state lottery promotion and attending grand prize trip winners from other state lotteries (collectively and with the attending Grand Prize Winner, 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 up to one million dollars ($1,000,000). The Event shall consist of the following:

1. 
   
   1. Round l: 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 where the spin stops. The cash prize will be revealed by the Multistate Player picking up the wedge, turning it over, and revealing it to the crowd.
   2. 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. 
   3. 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 from ten thousand dollars ($10,000) to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) 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 the top prize of one million dollars ($1,000,000).
      1. In the event that more than one (1) Multistate Winner has the same cumulative amount at the end of Round 3, those Multistate Winners shall each spin the Wheel one (1) time. The Wheel shall be covered and contain different cash values. The Multistate Winner who lands on the highest cash value shall be declared the Finalist and proceed to Round 4. Should the players land on the same value during the spinoff, they will continue spinning until one player lands on a higher value. Any values landed on in this additional wheel spin will not be added to the Finalist’s amount heading into Round 4.
   4. 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 of 1X, 2X, 3X or 5X. 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.
   5. 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.
