Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 53ER17-26 - Retailer Scratch-Off Ticket Bonus Commission Program
(1) The Florida Lottery will conduct, as a
retailer sales incentive, the Retailer Scratch-Off Ticket Bonus Commission
Program ("Program").
(2) Florida
Lottery retailers who sell a winning Scratch-Off ticket (also known as an
"instant ticket") with a prize of $1, 000, 000 or greater will receive a bonus
commission of $2, 000 for every $1, 000, 000 in prize value. A Scratch-Off
ticket prize of $1, 000, 000 or greater that is not an even increment of $1,
000, 000 will be rounded down to the nearest $1, 000, 000.
(3) Award of a bonus commission is dependent
upon the winning Scratch-Off ticket being claimed by the winner.
(4) 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 the retailer
contract terms.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
