Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 53ER23-45 - CASH POP[TM]

(1) How to Play CASH POP[TM].

(a) CASH POP is a Draw lottery game (also known as an online terminal game) in which a player selects one number from 1 through 15, inclusive, for a chance to win a cash prize. The selection of a single number is one (1) "play."

(b) Players may choose play amounts of $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $10.00 per play. The play amount will determine the possible cash prize generated by the system. The prize structure and odds are set forth in subsection (2), below.

(c) For purposes of this rule, a "playslip" is defined as an original paper playslip issued and approved by the Florida Lottery for the CASH POP game or a digital playslip for the CASH POP game generated using the Florida Lottery Mobile Convenience App ("App"). Except where necessary to differentiate between a paper playslip and a digital playslip, the term "playslip" shall be inclusive of both types of playslips.

(d) Players may make their CASH POP ticket selections by: using a playslip; using a Florida Lottery vending machine ("vending machine'), if a vending machine for Draw game ticket purchases is available at the retailer location; telling the retailer their desired selections; or by requesting the Play it Again feature.

(e) Playslip.

1. Paper Playslips.

a. A CASH POP paper playslip contains five (5) panels. The manner of play described in this section is for a single panel; each of the five panels is played in the same manner. Each panel has three (3) sections.

The first section lists numbers one (1) to fifteen (15). On a playslip, players must mark at least one number to play. A player may mark additional numbers, up to fifteen (15) for additional plays. A player may mark the "Play All" spot to play all fifteen numbers. All numbers chosen are played in the next available drawing. A player may also mark Quick Pick (QP) for the terminal to randomly select one number. A player will mark his/her desired choice/s using blue or black ink or a pencil.

In the second section of a panel on a playslip, a player will mark the dollar amount he/she wishes to play. The possible play amounts are $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $10.00. Only one (1) play amount can be chosen per panel on a playslip, and the play amount chosen will be applied to each number played in that panel. If a player does not mark a dollar amount, the default will be $1.00.

In the third section of a panel on the playslip, a player may select the number of consecutive drawings he/she wishes to play. (Consecutive drawings are also known as advance play.) The number of consecutive drawing choices are one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4), five (5), or ten (10). The count for the number of consecutive drawings includes the next available drawing for which a ticket is purchased. For example, choosing four (4) consecutive drawings will give the player a total of four (4) drawings, the next available drawing plus the next three (3) drawings for a total of four (4). If a player chooses one (1) consecutive drawing, only the next available drawing is played, and the player will have no additional drawings played. The number/s played and play amount will be the same for each consecutive drawing. Only one (1) value for the number of consecutive drawings can be chosen on a panel. If no number of consecutive drawings is chosen, the play is for the next available drawing only.

b. A separate ticket will be produced for each panel and for each drawing and will display all numbers chosen on the panel. A system-generated prize amount will print immediately beneath each number played. For each consecutive drawing, if any, a separate ticket will print, and the prize amount/s may differ for the number/s played. The prize amount/s in a subsequent drawing are not determinative or dependent on the prize amount/s of a previous drawing.

c. Players should carefully check their playslip for accuracy in their desired selections since CASH POP tickets cannot be canceled. If an error is made in a panel, the player will mark the Void box. Marking the Void box will apply to all choices made in a panel.

d. The total cost to play one (1) panel on a ticket is equal to the number of number/s played times the play amount times the number of consecutive draws.

e. The odds of winning a given prize are listed in subsection (2), below.

f. Each of the five (5) panels are played in the manner described above. One or more panels, up to five, may be played on a playslip. A ticket will be produced for each panel played and for each drawing played.

g. Paper playslips must be Florida Lottery approved. Paper playslips may be processed through a Florida Lottery full-service vending machine or processed by a Florida Lottery retailer to obtain a ticket.

2. Digital Playslip. How to Create a Digital Playslip. From the Landing Page on the App, a player should select the CASH POP game icon and then click on "Pick Numbers." The player may either select his or her numbers from one (1) through (15) or use the "Random Numbers" or "Shake to Play" feature for the App to provide the player a random number. A player must also select the play amount ($1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $10.00), which will apply to all numbers played, and, if more than the default of one drawing is desired, select the number of consecutive drawings. Players may also use the "My Favorites" feature to save the digital playslip for later use. Once a digital playslip is created and the player clicks "Create Playslip, " a barcode will be displayed. The player may present the barcode appearing on his/her mobile device to the retailer to purchase a ticket through the retailer terminal or may use the barcode to purchase a ticket through a vending machine that provides for Draw game purchases. Illustrative instructions for creating a CASH POP digital playslip are available by clicking on the "How to Play" button on the main CASH POP page.

(f) Vending Machine. If a vending machine is available at a retailer location and if the vending machine has the options set forth herein, the vending machine may be used by a player to make Quick Pick (QP) selections; manual selections; and process both paper and digital CASH POP playslips.

(g) Telling the Retailer. Retailers are authorized to manually enter player choices. Players electing to make their CASH POP ticket selections by telling the retailer must specify the number/s desired to be played, the play amount, and the consecutive number of drawings. A player may also tell the retailer to use the Quick Pick feature for the terminal to randomly select one or more numbers (1 through 15). If Quick Pick is chosen by a player, a player must also tell the retailer the play amount and the number of consecutive drawings desired.

(h) Play it Again.

1. A player may request to "Play it Again" to replay a previously purchased CASH POP ticket. If requested, a retailer shall process the original ticket provided by the player and print new ticket/s which will have the same selected number/s, play amount, and number of consecutive drawings as the original ticket, except as provided in subparagraph (1)(h)2., below. New possible prize amount/s will be generated.

2. In the event of a Lottery decision to step down the CASH POP game, an original ticket will be rejected and cannot be replayed if the number of drawings on the ticket exceeds the number of drawings that are available at the time of requested ticket replay. Tickets older than sixty (60) days cannot be replayed.
