(1) Beginning September 18 and ending October
29, 2023 ("Promotion Period"), the Florida Lottery will conduct the
Limited-Time $500 Raffle Promotion ("Promotion").
(a) Up to, through, and including, the
issuance of the 9, 999, 999th Raffle ticket, or
until the end of the Promotion Period, whichever occurs first, one Raffle
ticket will be issued to players who purchase a single ticket for any CASH
POPTM, FLORIDA
LOTTO®, MEGA
MILLIONS®, or
POWERBALL® draw game for a $10 or greater
purchase price.
(b) Upon the
issuance of the 9, 999, 999th Raffle ticket, Raffle
tickets will no longer be issued.
(c) Players holding Raffle tickets will have
a chance to win a cash prize of $500.
(d) Powerball and Mega Millions
QUICKTICKETsTM are not eligible. Free tickets are
not eligible.
(2) How to
Enter.
(a) A purchase that meets the
requirements described in subsection (1), above, will trigger a terminal or
vending machine, as applicable, to automatically print one Raffle ticket. A
Winning Alert will sound when a Raffle ticket is generated. A prize alert
symbol will print on qualifying draw game tickets. Upon the issuance of the 9,
999, 999th Raffle ticket, no additional Raffle
tickets will be issued. Should a problem arise concerning the transaction, it
is the player's responsibility to seek resolution with the retailer and the
Florida Lottery prior to leaving the retail or Lottery office location. Each
Raffle ticket will contain a unique number that will automatically be entered
into the next available Promotion drawing. Players shall keep their original
Raffle ticket/s throughout the Promotion Period, which will be needed for
determining if a prize has been won and for redeeming a prize won, if
any.
(b) The odds of winning depend
on the number of Raffle tickets issued, which constitute entries (one entry per
Raffle ticket issued), during each drawing entry period. Upon the occurrence of
the issuance of the 9, 999, 999th Raffle ticket, all
non-winning Raffle tickets will be entered into the upcoming drawing, if any,
and subsequent Promotion drawings, if any remain. All entries are subject to
validation by the Florida Lottery and will be disqualified if eligibility
requirements are not met.
(3) Drawings and Number of Prizes. The
Florida Lottery will conduct six (6) drawings in the Promotion to select
winning numbers. Drawings will be held on the dates listed in the table, below,
from the entries generated by 11:59:59 (ET) on the Drawing Entry Period end
date. Drawings will be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and witnessed by
an accountant employed by an independent certified public accounting firm.
Only Raffle tickets issued during a Drawing Entry Period,
listed in the table below, will be entered into the associated drawing. Except
that, upon the occurrence of the issuance of the 9, 999,
999th Raffle ticket, if such occurs prior to the end
of the Promotion Period, all non-winning Raffle tickets issued throughout the
Promotion Period (less Raffle tickets previously drawn as winner) will be
entered into an upcoming drawing, if any, and subsequent Promotion drawings, if
any remain.
As players are not required to register for a drawing, the
only evidence of a winning Raffle ticket is the original Raffle ticket. Players
shall retain their original Raffle ticket/s throughout the entire Promotion
Period, as it will be required to show proof of a win and be required to redeem
a prize won, if any.
The drawing entry periods, winning Raffle numbers
