Current through Reg. 50, No. 060; March 26, 2024

(1) Beginning October 1, 2022 and ending October 31, 2022 ("Promotion Period"), the Florida Lottery will conduct the Jackpot Raffle Promotion ("Promotion"). Players who purchase a single ticket for any FLORIDA LOTTO®, any JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAYT, any MEGA MILLIONS®, or any POWERBALL® draw game for a $10 or greater purchase price during the Promotion Period will receive a one-time use coupon that may be redeemed for a promotional Raffle ticket for a chance to win a cash prize of $500. Powerball and Mega Millions QUICKTICKETsT are not eligible. Free tickets are not eligible.

(2) How to Enter.

(a) A purchase that meets the requirements described in subsection (1), above, will trigger a terminal or vending machine, as applicable, to automatically print a one-time use coupon that may be redeemed for a Raffle ticket. The coupon may be redeemed at any Lottery retailer or Lottery office. The coupon may be redeemed at any time during the Promotion Period but must be redeemed by, and subject to retailer and Lottery office operating hours, 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on October 31, 2022 (last day of the Promotion Period). At the time of coupon redemption, one Raffle ticket will issue. Should a problem arise concerning the transaction, it is the player's responsibility to seek resolution with the retailer and the Florida Lottery prior to leaving the retail or Lottery office location.

The Raffle ticket will contain a unique number that will automatically be entered into the next available Promotion drawing. Players shall keep their Raffle ticket/s, which will be needed for determining if a prize has been won and for redeeming a prize won, if any. Coupons shall not be mailed to the Lottery. Coupons received in the mail will not be processed for entry into a drawing and will not be returned.

(b) The odds of winning depend on the number of entries generated during each drawing entry period. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and will be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.

(3) Drawings and Number of Prizes. The Florida Lottery will conduct five (5) drawings in the Promotion to select winning numbers. Drawings will be held on the dates listed in the table, below, from the entries generated by 11:59:59 (ET) on the Entry Period end date. The drawings shall be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and witnessed by an accountant employed by an independent certified public accounting firm. Entries from any drawing entry period are not carried over into subsequent drawing entry periods.
