Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 53ER25-15 - Retailer MEGA MILLIONS[®] Bonus Commission Program
(1) The
Florida Lottery will conduct, as a retailer sales incentive, a Retailer MEGA
MILLIONS Bonus Commission Program ("Program") in which the Florida Lottery will
award bonus commissions to Florida Lottery retailers who sell a winning jackpot
MEGA MILLIONS ticket for a Tuesday or Friday MEGA MILLIONS 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 MEGA MILLIONS
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) Florida
Lottery retailers who sell a MEGA MILLIONS ticket that matches 5+0 numbers will
receive a $1,000 bonus commission.
(5) Award of a bonus commission is not
dependent upon the MEGA MILLIONS winning jackpot ticket or MEGA MILLIONS 5+0
winning ticket being claimed by the winner.
(6) 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.
(7) 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.
(8) MEGA MILLIONS 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.
(9) This
emergency rule replaces Emergency Rule 53ER20-38.
