Current through Reg. 50, No. 060; March 26, 2024
(1) How to Play
CASH POP[TM].
(a) CASH POP is a Draw lottery
game (also known as an online terminal game) in which a player selects one
number from 1 through 15, inclusive, for a chance to win a cash prize. The
selection of a single number is one (1) "play."
(b) Players may choose play amounts of $1.00,
$2.00, or $5.00 per play. The play amount will determine the possible cash
prize generated by the system. The prize structure and odds are set forth in
subsection (2), below.
(c) For
purposes of this rule, a "play slip" is defined as an original paper play slip
issued and approved by the Florida Lottery for the CASH POP game or a digital
play slip for the CASH POP game generated using the Florida Lottery Mobile
Convenience App ("App"). Except where necessary to differentiate between a
paper play slip and a digital play slip, the term "play slip" shall be
inclusive of both types of play slips.
(d) Players may make their CASH POP ticket
selections by: using a play slip; using a Florida Lottery vending machine
("vending machine'), if a vending machine for Draw game ticket purchases is
available at the retailer location; telling the retailer their desired
selections; or by requesting the Play it Again feature.
(e) Play Slip.
1. Paper Play Slips.
a. A CASH POP paper play slip contains five
(5) panels. The manner of play described in this section is for a single panel;
each of the five panels is played in the same manner. Each panel has three (3)
sections.
The first section lists numbers one (1) to fifteen (15). On a
play slip, players must mark at least one number to play. A player may mark
additional numbers, up to fifteen (15) for additional plays. A player may mark
the "Play All" spot to play all fifteen numbers. All numbers chosen are played
in the next available drawing. A player may also mark Quick Pick (QP) for the
terminal to randomly select one number. A player will mark his/her desired
choice/s with an "X" using blue or black ink or a pencil.
In the second section of a panel on a play slip, a player
will mark the dollar amount he/she wishes to play. The possible play amounts
are $1.00, $2.00, or $5.00. Only one (1) play amount can be chosen per panel on
a play slip, and the play amount chosen will be applied to each number played
in that panel. If a player does not mark a dollar amount, the default will be
$1.00.
In the third section of a panel on the play slip, a player
may select the number of consecutive drawings he/she wishes to play.
(Consecutive drawings may also be known as advance play.) The number of
consecutive drawing choices are one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4), five
(5), or ten (10). The count for the number of consecutive drawings includes the
next available drawing for which a ticket is purchased. For example, choosing
four (4) consecutive drawings will give the player a total of four (4)
drawings, the next available drawing plus the next three (3) drawings for a
total of four (4). If a player chooses one (1) consecutive drawing, only the
next available drawing is played, and the player will have no additional
drawings played. The number/s played and play amount will be the same for each
consecutive drawing. Only one (1) value for the number of consecutive drawings
can be chosen on a panel. If no number of consecutive drawings is chosen, the
play is for the next available drawing only.
b. A separate ticket will be produced for
each panel and for each drawing and will display all numbers chosen on the
panel. The system-generated prize amount will print immediately beneath each
number played. For each consecutive drawing, if any, a separate ticket will
print and the prize amount/s may differ for the number/s played. The prize
amount/s in a subsequent drawing are not determinative or dependent on the
prize amount/s of a previous drawing.
c. Players should carefully check their play
slip for accuracy in their desired selections since CASH POP tickets cannot be
cancelled. If an error is made in a panel, the player will mark the Void box.
Marking the Void box will apply to all choices made in a panel.
d. The total cost to play one (1) panel on a
ticket is equal to the number of number/s played times the play amount times
the number of consecutive draws.
e.
The odds of winning a given prize are listed in subsection (2),
below.
f. Each of the five (5)
panels are played in the manner described above. One or more panels, up to
five, may be played on a play slip. A ticket will be produced for each panel
played and for each drawing played.
g. Paper play slips must be Florida Lottery
approved. Paper play slips may be processed through a Florida Lottery
full-service vending machine or processed by a Florida Lottery retailer to
obtain a ticket.
2.
Digital Play Slip. How to Create a Digital Play Slip. From the Landing Page on
the App, a player should select the CASH POP game icon and then click on "Pick
Numbers." The player may either select his or her numbers from one (1) through
(15) or use the "Random Numbers" or "Shake to Play" feature for the App to
provide the player a random number. A player must also select the play amount
($1.00, $2.00, or $5.00), which will apply to all numbers played, and, if more
than the default of one drawing is desired, select the number of consecutive
drawings. Players may also use the "My Favorites" feature to save the digital
play slip for later use. Once a digital play slip is created and the player
clicks "Create Playslip," a barcode will be displayed. The player will present
the barcode appearing on his or her mobile device to the retailer to purchase a
ticket through the retailer terminal or may use the barcode to purchase a
ticket through a vending machine. Illustrative instructions for creating a CASH
POP digital play slip are available by clicking on the "How to Play" button on
the main CASH POP page.
(f) Vending Machine. If a vending machine is
available at a retailer location and if the vending machine has the options set
forth herein, the vending machine may be used by a player to make Quick Pick
selections; manual selections; and process both paper and digital CASH POP play
slips.
(g) Telling the Retailer.
Retailers are authorized to manually enter player choices. Players electing to
make their CASH POP ticket selections by telling the retailer must specify the
number/s desired to be played, the play amount, and the consecutive number of
drawings. A player may also tell the retailer to use the quick pick feature for
the terminal to randomly select one or more numbers (1 through 15). If Quick
Pick is chosen by a player, a player must also tell the retailer the play
amount and the number of consecutive drawings desired.
(h) Play it Again.
1. A player may request to "Play it Again" to
replay a previously purchased CASH POP ticket. If requested, a retailer shall
process the original ticket provided by the player and print new ticket/s which
will have the same selected number/s, play amount, and number of consecutive
drawings as the original ticket, except as provided in subparagraph (1)(h)2.,
below. New possible prize amount/s will be generated.
2. In the event of a Lottery decision to step
down the CASH POP game, an original ticket will be rejected and cannot be
replayed if the number of drawings on the ticket exceeds the number of drawings
that are available at the time of requested ticket replay. Tickets older than
sixty (60) days cannot be replayed.
