Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 53ER15-38 - Retailer FLORIDA LOTTO®Bonus Commission Program
(1) The Florida
Lottery will conduct, as a retailer sales incentive, a Retailer FLORIDA
LOTTO® Bonus Commission Program ("Program") in
which the Florida Lottery will award bonus commissions to retailers that sell a
winning jackpot ticket for a Wednesday or Saturday FLORIDA LOTTO
drawing.
(2) The bonus commission
will start at $10, 000. In the event no winning jackpot ticket is sold for a
FLORIDA LOTTO drawing, the bonus commission amount will increase by $5, 000 per
draw until a winning jackpot ticket is sold, up to a maximum bonus commission
of $100, 000.
(3) If multiple
winning jackpot tickets are sold for the same FLORIDA LOTTO drawing, the
retailers selling such tickets will share the bonus commissions. Each retailer
selling a winning jackpot ticket will receive a share of the bonus equal to the
number of winning jackpot tickets sold by that particular retailer divided by
the total number of winning jackpot tickets sold for that drawing.
(4) Award of a bonus commission is not
dependent upon the winning jackpot ticket being claimed by the
winner.
(5) Retailers whose Florida
Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to the bonus commission
award shall be paid the bonus commission earned provided said termination or
inactivation was not due to noncompliance with Chapter 24, F.S., Chapter 53,
F.A.C. or retailer contract terms.
(6) A bonus commission will be considered
compensation to the retailer for Internal Revenue Service purposes. The Florida
Lottery reserves the right to apply a bonus commission earned against a
retailer's outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery, and to award the remaining
balance of the bonus commission, if any.
(7) FLORIDA LOTTO bonus commissions are
subject to availability of funds appropriated for retailer incentives. This
Program is subject to cancellation by future emergency rule if retailer
incentive funding is not appropriated or if the Florida Lottery determines that
it is no longer in the state's best interest to use such funds for this
purpose.
