(2) How to Participate.
(a) To enter a non-winning GUY HARVEY
$500,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off lottery ticket into one of the Trucks, Bucks
and Trips promotional drawings, a player may use the Florida Lottery's website
at flalottery.com or use the Florida Lottery's Mobile Convenience App ("App").
On the home page of the Florida Lottery's website, players are to click on the
Second Chance tab, select the Trucks, Bucks and Trips Promotion and follow the
directions. Players will be prompted to log-in or register. On the App, players
may click on either of the Promotions buttons, select the Trucks, Bucks and
Trips Promotion and follow the directions. Players will be prompted to log-in
or register if not already logged in. A Promotions button is located on the
main menu and also on the bottom navigation bar. Players are to scratch off the
coating on the front of the ticket to reveal the 24-digit ticket serial number
and enter the entire number in the designated ticket entry area on the website
or scan the ticket barcode located under the Scratch-Off ticket coating on the
front of the ticket using the App. The 24-digit ticket serial number (4-digit
game number and 20-digit ticket number) is located below the play area on the
front of a GUY HARVEY $500,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off ticket under the latex
covering. Players may enter a qualifying ticket into the Promotion at any time
of day during the Promotion Period; however, on occasion, entry capabilities on
the website and App may be temporarily unavailable due to routine maintenance
or technical difficulties.
(b) Any
attempt by a player to use more than one account by using multiple or different
email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods will
subject the player and any associated entries to disqualification.
(c) Regardless of whether a player chooses to
participate in the Promotion by mobile device or web browser the following
provisions shall apply:
1. The player may use
the same account login information to enter tickets;
2. The player will only be required to
register one time; and
3. The
player's entry history will be cumulative among the entry platforms.
(d) A player may earn multiple
entries during the entry period; however, each ticket number can only be
entered one time to earn one entry. The odds of winning depend on the number of
entries in the drawing. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida
Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.
Lottery tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery for entry into the drawing.
Lottery tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered
into the drawing and will not be returned.
(3) Promo Codes. Various promo codes will be
available to players during the Promotion via social media, streaming
platforms, websites, gas station TV and emails. A player may earn five (5)
additional entries by entering a promo code at the time the player enters a
non-winning GUY HARVEY $500,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off ticket number into a
drawing. A non-winning GUY HARVEY $500,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off ticket
number must be entered to enable the promo code feature, and the ticket number
and the promo code must be entered at the same time. Each promo code is only
valid for the corresponding entry period for which it is designated and can
only be entered one time. However, more than one different promo code may be
entered during the corresponding entry period for which it is designated, each
with a different non-winning GUY HARVEY $500,000 FLORIDA CASH Scratch-Off

In each of the drawings, a total of 63 valid entries will be
drawn by the Florida Lottery using a certified random number generation
process. The first entry drawn will win the grand prize. The second and third
entries drawn will each win a second prize. The fourth through forty-third
entries drawn will each win a third prize. The remaining entries drawn will be
used in the order in which they were drawn and in the order of need to select

will be available in the Promotion.
(6) Prizewinner Notification.
(a) The prizewinners in each promotional
drawing will be posted on flalottery.com on the announcement date set forth in
the table in subsection (5) above, for the related drawing, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.
(b) The
Florida Lottery will attempt to notify each prizewinner by telephone or email
using the contact information provided in the prizewinner's registration data
no later than one business day (Monday-Friday) after the prizewinners are
posted on the Florida Lottery's website. The Florida Lottery deems the winner's
registration data as the prizewinner's official contact information, including
the physical mailing address. The Florida Lottery will not attempt to further
locate a prizewinner if attempts to reach the winner by telephone or email are
unsuccessful. If the Florida Lottery is unable to have contact by telephone or
email with a prizewinner within seven calendar days of the date the
prizewinners are posted on the website, the winner will forfeit his or her
right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will award the prize to an
alternate prizewinner in accordance with subsection (5), above. If the Florida
Lottery is unable to have contact by email or telephone with the alternate
prizewinner within seven calendar days of the date of notification, the
alternate prizewinner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the
Florida Lottery will award the prize to the next alternate prizewinner. This
process will continue until an alternate prizewinner is contacted or the
Florida Lottery has exhausted the list of alternate prizewinners due to
unsuccessful notification attempts or due to failure by a prizewinner or an
alternate prizewinner to timely provide required claim documentation as set
forth in subsection (7), below. If the Florida Lottery exhausts the list of
alternate prizewinners, the prize will not be awarded. The Florida Lottery is
not responsible or liable for email failures or faults, telephone failures or
faults, voicemail failures or faults; system, network, or software failures or
faults; or the like.

Award of Grand Prizes.
(a) Upon the Florida
Lottery's timely receipt of a grand prize winner's required documentation, the
Lottery will award a grand prize of a 2021 Ford F-150 Guy Harvey Edition Pickup
Truck (or "Ford F-150"). The Florida Lottery will pay tax, tag, and title fees

retail value of the grand prize. The retail value of the grand prize is
estimated at $60,369.40 (MSRP of the Ford F-150 is $55,920, plus sales tax,
tag, title, and inspection fees) but may vary based on the geographic location
of the dealership where the vehicle is picked up. Federal income tax
withholding is estimated at $19,064.02 for a U.S. citizen. The reportable
taxable value of the grand prize is estimated at $79,433.42 for a U.S. citizen.
Any taxes on the prize in excess of applicable federal income tax withholding
requirements are the sole responsibility of the prizewinner.

to arrange to take possession of the prize. The prizewinner may choose from one
of three predetermined colors for the exterior of the truck at the time of
initial contact with the dealership. The prizewinner must go to the dealership
to pick up the prize within 30 days of being notified that the vehicle is ready
to be picked up. In order to pick the vehicle up and drive the vehicle off of
the dealership premises, the winner must present proof of a valid driver's
license and proof of vehicle insurance as required by the laws of the state of
residence of the winner, which in Florida are Chapters 322 and 324, F.S.,
respectively. If the prizewinner is unable to provide proof of a valid driver's
license, the vehicle must be removed by trailer or similar transport equipment
provided by the prizewinner or driven by a person who is able to provide proof
of a valid driver's license. The cost of travel to take possession of a truck
prize shall be the responsibility of the prizewinner. Neither the Florida
Lottery nor Guy Harvey provide any warranty, maintenance plan or additional
accessories (beyond the "Guy Harvey Package") for the Ford F-150 prize. If the
prizewinner chooses to purchase any additional options beyond what comes with
the Guy Harvey Package, he or she will be responsible for the cost and
applicable taxes. If the prizewinner fails to pick up the Ford F-150 before the
deadline, he or she will forfeit the prize.
(c) A cash option is not available in lieu of
a truck prize.
