Section 53ER19-8 - Retailer JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY[TM] Bonus Commission Program
Current through Reg. 50, No. 060; March 26, 2024
(1) The Florida Lottery will conduct, as a retailer sales incentive, a Retailer JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAYTM Bonus Commission Program ("Program") in which the Florida Lottery will award a bonus commission to the retailer(s) that sells a jackpot-winning JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY ticket for a Tuesday or Friday JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY drawing.
(2) The bonus commission for selling a jackpot-winning JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY ticket is $1,000. If multiple jackpot-winning JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY tickets are sold for the same drawing, the retailer(s) selling such tickets will share the bonus commission. Each retailer selling one or more of the winning jackpot tickets will receive a share of the available bonus equal to the number of winning jackpot tickets sold by that particular retailer divided by the total number of winning jackpot tickets sold for that drawing.
(3) If a winning jackpot ticket is a JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY with ComboTM ticket, an additional $1,000 bonus commission will be paid to the retailer selling such ticket. If multiple winning jackpot tickets are JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY with ComboTM tickets, each retailer selling such a ticket will be paid the additional bonus commission.
(4) Award of a jackpot-winning JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY bonus commission is not dependent upon the winning jackpot ticket being claimed by the winner.
(5) Retailers whose Florida Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to the bonus commission award shall be paid the bonus commission earned provided said termination or inactivation was not due to noncompliance with chapter 24, Florida Statutes, chapter 53, F.A.C., or contract terms.
(6) A bonus commission will be considered compensation to the retailer and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service by the Florida Lottery. The Florida Lottery reserves the right to apply a bonus commission earned against a retailer's outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery, and to award the remaining balance of the bonus commission, if any.
(7) JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY bonus commissions are subject to availability of funds appropriated for retailer incentives. This Program is subject to cancellation by future emergency rule if retailer incentive funding is not appropriated or if the Florida Lottery determines that it is no longer in the state's best interest to use such funds for this purpose.
(8) This emergency rule is effective January 30, 2019.
