Current through Reg. 50, No. 060; March 26, 2024
(1)
Beginning January 1, 2024 and through February 29, 2024 ("Promotion Period"),
the Florida Lottery will conduct the Daily Cash Bonus Play Promotion
("Promotion"). Players who purchase a CASH POPTM,
any PICK Daily GameTM (Pick
2TM, Pick 3TM, Pick
4TM or Pick 5TM) (with or
without Fireball), FANTASY 5® (with or without
EZmatchTM), or
CASH4LIFE® or who have a free FANTASY
5® (with or without
EZmatchTM), CASH POPTM,
Pick 3TM, Pick 4TM, or
CASH4LIFE® ticket can earn entries into a
Promotion Drawing for a chance to win a cash prize of $500; $1,000; $5,000; or
$10,000. Winning and non-winning tickets may be used to enter the Promotion.
(Collectively, all the foregoing are "Eligible ticket(s).") Only tickets
purchased or generated/issued during the Promotion Period can be entered into
the Promotion. Canceled tickets are not eligible to win.
(2) How to Enter.
(a) To enter an Eligible ticket into a
Promotion Drawing, a player may use the Florida Lottery's website at
flalottery.com or use the Florida Lottery's Mobile Convenience App ("App").
1. Website. On the home page of the Florida
Lottery's website, players are to click on the PROMOTIONS tab, select the Daily
Cash Bonus Play Promotion and follow the directions. Players will be prompted
to log-in or register. Players using the website may manually enter the
19-digit ticket number (omitting spaces and dashes) on the ticket entry page to
collect entries as described in subsection (3), below.
2. App. On the App, players may click on
either of the Promotions buttons, select the Daily Cash Bonus Play 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 on
the bottom navigation bar. Players may scan the barcode on the bottom of a
ticket or may manually enter the 19-digit ticket number on the ticket entry
page to collect entries as further described in subsection (3) below.
3. Whether using the App or the website,
tickets may not be entered during the first two (2) hours after ticket
purchase. (I.e., a player needs to wait for two hours after ticket purchase to
enter tickets.)
4. Regardless of
whether a player chooses to participate in the Promotion by using the web
browser or the App, the following provisions shall apply:
a. the player must use the same account login
information to enter tickets;
b.
the player will only be required to register one time; and
c. the player's entry history will be
cumulative among the entry platforms.
(b) Deleted Accounts. If a player deletes
his/her account, whether through the App or on the Florida Lottery's website,
all account data associated with the email address used to register his/her
account will also be deleted. Any entries earned, as described in subsection
(3), below, will not be entered into a drawing. A player's account cannot be
reactivated using the email associated with the deactivated account. Should a
player establish a new account utilizing a different email address, account
data, including ticket entries, cannot be transferred to the newly established
account. Tickets entered under the prior account cannot be re-entered utilizing
the newly created account.
(c) Any
player using multiple or different email addresses, identities, registrations,
logins, or any other methods will subject the player and any associated entries
to disqualification. In the event a player wins a prize, the name a player uses
to register must match the name shown on his/her identification used to make a
claim, except for a person who has made a legal name change. A person who has
made a legal name change must provide a copy of a marriage
certificate/judgment/court order, as applicable, as proof of a differing name.
Fictitious names and business names will not be accepted and shall subject the
player and any associated entries to disqualification.
(d) The odds of winning in a drawing depend
on the number of entries. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida
Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not
met.
(e) Lottery tickets should not
be mailed to the Lottery for entry into the drawing. Lottery tickets received
in the mail by the Florida Lottery for entry into the Promotion will not be
entered into a drawing and will not be returned.
(3) How to Earn Entries.
(a) Collecting Entries. To collect play
symbols and earn entries into a Promotion Drawing, a player may enter ticket
numbers by scanning the barcode on the bottom of an Eligible ticket using his
or her mobile device or by manually entering the 19-digit ticket number on the
website or the App. Thereafter, four game cards will appear on the screen. Each
game card contains four symbol spots. For each Eligible ticket entered, and
regardless of ticket price/value, the player will be randomly awarded either 2,
4, 6, 8, or 10 symbols towards completing the game cards. Awarded symbols will
be placed randomly on available game cards. When all four symbols have been
collected on a game card, the player will earn one "entry" into the next
available drawing. When a filled game card generates an entry into the drawing,
the symbols will be cleared on that game card, and a player can begin
collecting more symbols on the card. A player may earn multiple entries during
an entry period; however, a player can only win one draw prize per entry. A
player may enter a maximum of 200 tickets per day. Each ticket number can only
be entered one time and cannot be entered again during another drawing period.
Training tickets will not be accepted, and tickets with invalid ticket numbers
will be disqualified. The hours for ticket entry are between 6:00 a.m. (ET) and
midnight (ET) seven days a week during the Promotion Period.
(b) Bonus Drawing Entries.
1. For all bonus drawing entries, as
described below, there will be four (4) rows for Eligible Draw game (CASH POP,
PICK 2, PICK 3, PICK 4, PICK 5, FANTASY 5, and CASH4LIFE) ticket entry
(hereafter "bonus entry row/s"). Each bonus entry row will have one space for
each of the seven Eligible Draw game tickets. Once a bonus entry row has been
completed in accordance with subparagraphs (3)(b)2. or 3., below, the row will
be cleared and available for new entries. If more than four tickets for the
same Draw game are entered, and none of the four bonus entry rows are
completed, entries in excess of the four tickets will be disregarded, will not
be added once a bonus entry row is cleared, and cannot be entered again.
Discarded ticket entries will still acquire symbols as described in paragraph
(3)(a), above.
Example: A player purchases and enters six (6) CASH
POP tickets but has not purchased and entered other Eligible tickets to
complete a bonus entry row. Two of the CASH POP tickets will be discarded for
the purposes of filling bonus entry rows but will still acquire symbols as
described in paragraph (3)(a), above. A sample bonus entry row grid is shown
below. The dates in the CASH POP column represent entry dates. No other CASH
POP tickets can be entered until at least one (1) bonus entry row has been
completed with the entry of the other six (6) Eligible Draw game tickets.

Prize winner Notification.
(a) The winners in
a Promotion Drawing will be announced and posted on flalottery.com on the
Winner Announcement Date, set forth in the table in subsection (5), above, or
as soon as possible thereafter.
(b)
Prize Winner Notification. The Florida Lottery will notify each winner by
telephone or email using the contact information provided in the winner's
registration data no later than one business day after the winners are posted
on the Florida Lottery's website. The Florida Lottery deems the winner's
registration data as the winner's official contact information. Issuing an
email or leaving a telephone message on voicemail, if available, shall
constitute notification. The Florida Lottery will not attempt to further notify
a winner if the attempt to notify the winner by telephone or email was
unsuccessful. If a winner does not respond to the Lottery's notification within
ten (10) calendar days of the date the winners are posted on the website, the
winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery
will select an alternate winner in accordance with subsection (5), above. If
the alternate winner does not respond to the Lottery's notification within ten
(10) calendar days of the date of notification, the alternate winner will
forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will select
the next alternate winner. This process will continue until an alternate winner
responds to the Lottery or the Lottery has exhausted the list of alternates due
to unsuccessful notification or due to failure by a winner or an alternate
winner to timely provide required claim documentation as set forth in
subsection (8) below. The Florida Lottery is not responsible or liable for
system failures of any sort or type, including, but not exclusively, computer
failures, email service failures, telephone failures. If a prize cannot be
awarded for any reason, the prize will not be awarded.
(8) How to Claim a Prize.
(a) To claim a $500 prize, a winner must
provide a copy of acceptable identification as set forth in the rule of the
Florida Lottery governing payment of prizes.
(b) To claim a $1,000; $5,000; or $10,000
prize, a winner must submit to the Florida Lottery a completed Winner Claim
Form DOL-173-2, Revised 2/23, or Spanish Winner Claim Form DOL-173-2S, Revised
2/23, and a copy of acceptable identification as set forth in the rule of the
Florida Lottery governing payment of prizes.
(c) A copy of the current prize payment rule
can be obtained from the Florida Lottery, Office of the General Counsel, 250
Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4011 or at flrules.org.
(d) The required documents must be received
by the Florida Lottery no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Florida
Lottery has first notified the winner by telephone (notification by telephone
is deemed complete by leaving a voicemail message, if available) or email
(issuing an email constitutes notification). If the Florida Lottery does not
receive the required documents from a winner by the tenth calendar day after
notification, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and
the Florida Lottery will award the prize to an alternate winner as described in
subsection (5), above. The same timeframe for a winner to provide required
documentation to the Florida Lottery shall apply to an alternate
winner.
(9) Payment of
Prizes.
(a) Payment of $500 Prizes. Upon the
Florida Lottery's timely receipt of a copy of a winner's acceptable
identification, the Florida Lottery will award the prize to that
winner.
(b) Payment of $1,000;
$5,000; and $10,000 Prizes. Upon the Florida Lottery's timely receipt of a
winner's required documentation, the Florida Lottery will award the applicable
prize for that winner, subject to analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child
Support Debt, and withholding federal tax, as applicable.
(10) Analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child
Support Debt. Prior to the award of a $1,000; $5,000; or $10,000 prize, a
winner will be analyzed for Florida state-owed debt and child support debt. If
more than one prize is awarded to a winner, a separate analysis shall occur
prior to payment of each prize. If the winner is identified as owing
outstanding debt to any state agency or owes child support collected through a
court, the debt will be offset in accordance with section
24.115, F.S. If the debt is an
amount less than the amount of the cash prize, the balance of the prize less
applicable income tax withholding and after the debt is offset shall be
awarded. If the debt is an amount greater than any cash prize, the entire prize
amount after applicable income tax withholding will be applied to the
outstanding debt.
(11) Taxes.
(a) All federal, state, and/or local taxes,
or other costs and fees on all prizes will be the responsibility of the
winner.
(b) For $10,000.00 prizes
won, and pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Service
code, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of twenty-four percent
(24%) for U. S. citizens or legal U. S. residents and at a rate of thirty
percent (30%) for nonresident winners. Regardless of prize amount and for all
prizes won, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of thirty percent
(30%) for nonresident winners. The reporting and subsequent payment of any
additional federal, state, and/or local taxes, and any other fees and costs
shall be the responsibility of the winner.
(12) Other Restrictions and Provisions.
(a) A player can only win one prize per
entry.
(b) Any prizes not awarded
for any reason will not otherwise be awarded.
(c) A winner in this Promotion is not
required to submit the Eligible ticket he or she entered to claim a
prize.

Lottery governing payment of prizes. Copies of the current prize payment rule
can be obtained from the Florida Lottery, Office of the General Counsel, 250
Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4011 or at flrules.org.
