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

(2) How to Enter.
(3) Drawings and Number of Prizes. The Florida Lottery will conduct six (6) 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 Drawing Entry Period end date. Drawings will be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and witnessed by an accountant employed by an independent certified public accounting firm.
Only Raffle tickets issued during a Drawing Entry Period, listed in the table below, will be entered into the associated drawing. Except that, upon the occurrence of the issuance of the 9,999,999th Raffle ticket, if such occurs prior to the end of the Promotion Period, all non-winning Raffle tickets issued throughout the Promotion Period (less Raffle tickets previously drawn as winner) will be entered into an upcoming drawing, if any, and subsequent Promotion drawings, if any remain.
As players are not required to register for a drawing, the only evidence of a winning Raffle ticket is the original Raffle ticket. Players shall retain their original Raffle ticket/s throughout the entire Promotion Period, as it will be required to show proof of a win and be required to redeem a prize won, if any.
