(4) How to Enter - Drawings.
(a) To enter an Eligible ticket into a Bonus
Play Drawing, a player may use the Florida Lottery's website at
floridalottery.com or use the Florida Lottery's Mobile Convenience App ("App").
1. Website. On the homepage of the Florida
Lottery's website, players click on the PROMOTIONS tab, then select Daily Cash
Bonus Play. Players using the website will manually enter the 19-digit ticket
number on the ticket entry page to collect entries.
2. App. On the App, players may click on
either of the Promotions buttons, then select Daily Cash Bonus Play. 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.
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 Bonus Play by
using the web browser or the App, the following provisions shall apply:
a. a player will be prompted to login or
register;
b. the player must use
the same account login information to enter tickets;
c. the player will only be required to
register one time; and
d. 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 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) Lottery tickets should not be mailed to
the Lottery. Lottery tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery for
entry into the Bonus Play will not be entered and will not be returned.
(e) The odds of winning depend on
the number of entries received. All entries are subject to validation by the
Florida Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not
met.
(5) How to Earn
Entries into a Drawing.
(a) Collecting
Entries. To collect play symbols and earn entries into a 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. 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.
(b) Players may enter
Eligible ticket/s during a Drawing Entry Period at any time during that Drawing
Entry Period, except that entry capabilities on the website and App will be
unavailable from 12 a.m. through 6 a.m. ET due to routine maintenance and may
be unavailable at other times if there are technical difficulties. Only
Eligible tickets purchased/issued during a Drawing Entry Period may be entered
during that Drawing Entry Period; tickets purchased during the first Drawing
Entry Period cannot be entered during the second Drawing Entry Period. A player
may enter a maximum of 200 tickets per day. Each ticket number can only be
entered one time. Training tickets will not be accepted, and tickets with
invalid ticket numbers will be disqualified.
(c) Bonus Drawing Entries. Players who enter
all seven (7) tickets that are part of this Bonus Play (CASH POP, PICK 2, PICK
3, PICK 4, PICK 5, FANTASY 5, and CASH4LIFE), hereafter a "set," during the
same Drawing Entry Period will receive fifty (50) bonus drawing entries for
that Drawing Entry Period. All seven tickets are not required to be entered
simultaneously but must be entered during the same Drawing Entry Period to earn
the bonus entries. These seven tickets will also earn card symbols, and
acquired entries, in accordance with paragraph (5)(a), above. A player may
enter multiple "sets" during a Drawing Entry Period; each "set" will earn the
bonus drawing entries.
(d) Upon
completion of a drawing, all game cards are cleared of symbols and become
blank. Entries from the first Drawing Entry Period are not carried over into
the second Drawing Entry Period.
(6) Draw Dates, Drawing Entry Periods, and
Winner Announcement Dates. The Florida Lottery will conduct two (2) drawings in
the Bonus Play. Winners for a drawing will be randomly selected from entries
earned before midnight (ET) on the last day of a Drawing Entry Period. Entries
will be drawn only from the entries submitted and received during each Drawing
Entry Period. Winners will be randomly selected using a certified random number
generation process. Drawings will be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and
witnessed by an accountant employed by an independent certified public
accounting firm. Drawing Entry Periods, Draw Dates, and Winner Announcement

In a Drawing, a total of 62 valid entries will be drawn.
Prizes are awarded to players in the order in which they were drawn during each
drawing, starting with the $10,000 prize. Remaining entries will be alternates
and used in the order in which they were drawn and in the order of need to
select alternate winners in the event a winner does not timely respond to
notification or fails to timely provide required claim documentation as set
forth in subsection (8), below, or in the event an entry is disqualified. A
player can only win one prize in a Drawing per entry.
(7) Drawing Winner Notification.
(a) The winners in a Drawing will be
announced and posted on floridalottery.com on the Winner Announcement Date, set
forth in the table in subsection (6), above, or as soon as possible
thereafter.
(b) The Florida Lottery
will notify each Drawing 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 (6), 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.
