Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 53ER20-30 - Retailer POWERBALL®Bonus Commission Program
(1) The Florida
Lottery will conduct, as a retailer sales incentive, a Retailer
POWERBALL® Bonus Commission Program ("Program")
in which the Florida Lottery will award bonus commissions to Florida Lottery
retailers who sell a winning jackpot POWERBALL ticket for a Wednesday or
Saturday POWERBALL drawing.
(2) The
bonus commission for a starting jackpot prize will be $20, 000. Each time the
Jackpot Prize rolls over, the bonus commission will increase by $5, 000 until
it reaches the maximum bonus commission of $100, 000.
(3) If multiple winning jackpot tickets are
sold in Florida for the same POWERBALL drawing, the retailers selling such
tickets will share the bonus commission. 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 in Florida for that drawing.
(4) If a winning jackpot ticket is a
Powerball with Power Play® ticket, an additional
$20, 000 bonus commission will be paid to the retailer selling such ticket. If
multiple winning jackpot tickets are Powerball with Power Play tickets, each
retailer selling such a ticket will be paid the additional bonus
commission.
(5) Florida Lottery
retailers who sell a POWERBALL ticket that wins $1, 000, 000 for matching 5+0
numbers will receive a $1, 000 bonus commission.
(6) Florida Lottery retailers who sell a
Powerball with Power Play ticket that wins $2, 000, 000 for matching 5+0
numbers will receive a $5, 000 bonus commission.
(7) Award of a bonus commission is not
dependent upon the Powerball jackpot winning ticket, POWERBALL 5+0 winning
ticket or Powerball with Power Play 5+0 winning ticket being claimed by the
winner.
(8) 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, Florida Statutes,
Chapter 53, Florida Administrative Code, or contract terms.
(9) A bonus commission will be considered
compensation to the retailer and will be reported to the Internal Revenue
Service by the Florida Lottery. 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.
(10) 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.
(11) This emergency rule
replaces Emergency Rule 53ER13-69, F.A.C.
