Any entries earned will not be entered into a drawing. A player's account cannot be reactivated using the email associated with the deactivated account. Should a player establish a new account utilizing a different email address, account data, including ticket entries, cannot be transferred to the newly established account. Tickets entered under the prior account cannot be re-entered utilizing the newly created account.
4. Regardless of whether a player chooses to participate in the Bonus Play by using the web browser or the App, the following provisions shall apply:
a. a player will be prompted to either register or login;
b. the player must use the same account login information to enter tickets;
c. the player will only be required to register one time; and
d. the player's entry history will be cumulative among the entry platforms.
(b) Any attempt by a player to use more than one account by using multiple or different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods will subject the player and any associated entries to disqualification. If a player wins a prize, the name a player uses to register must match the name shown on his/her identification used to make a claim, except for a person who has made a legal name change. A person who has made a legal name change must provide a copy of a marriage certificate/judgment/court order, as applicable, as proof of a differing name. Fictitious names and business names will not be accepted and shall subject the player and any associated entries to disqualification.
(c) The odds of winning depend on the number of entries submitted and received by the Lottery. All entries are subject to validation by the Lottery and will be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.
(d) Lottery tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery. Tickets received in the mail by the Lottery for entry into the Bonus Play will not be entered and will not be returned.
(3) Earning Entries and Prize Choice.
(a) To earn entries into a Bonus Play Drawing, a player may enter ticket numbers by scanning the barcode on the bottom of Eligible ticket/s using his/her mobile device or by manually entering the 24-digit number on Eligible Scratch-off tickets or the 19-digit number on Eligible PICK tickets on the website or Mobile App. A player may earn multiple entries during an entry period; however, a player can only win one Bonus Play Drawing prize per entry. A player may enter a maximum of 200 tickets per day. Each ticket number can only be entered one time and cannot be entered again for another drawing. Players may enter Eligible ticket/s into the Bonus Play at any time during the Bonus Play Period, except that entry capabilities on the website and App will be unavailable from 12:00 a.m. through 6:00 a.m. ET due to routine maintenance and may be unavailable at other times if there are technical difficulties. Entries must be made by 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on the last day of a Drawing Entry Period to be entered into that drawing. See subsection (4) for Drawing Entry Periods.
(b) Number of Drawing Entries Received. For Eligible tickets, a player will receive the following entries:

1 Entry for each $1 Paid/Value of the Ticket**

*PICK Daily Games tickets cannot be entered during the first two (2) hours following their purchase.

**A PICK ticket having a purchase price that is not in an even $1.00 increment will be rounded down to the lower dollar amount for determining the number of entries earned. For example, a $0.50 purchase will earn no entries, a $1.50 purchase earns the player one (1) entry, a $2.50 purchase earns the player two (2) entries, and so forth.

(c) At the time the player enters a ticket into the Bonus Play, the player will be required to choose his/her desired prize: $50,000 Polaris Gift Certificate plus $4,500 Cash; $50,000 Airstream Gift Certificate plus $4,500 Cash; or $50,000 in The Home Depot Gift Cards plus $4,500 Cash. (Making a prize choice is not a guarantee of winning a prize.) Upon the player's prize choice, all entries associated with the ticket entered will be deemed entries for that prize and will not be deemed entries for any other prize in the Bonus Play. Upon the choice of a prize and entry of the associated ticket, the prize choice is final and cannot be changed. Entries associated with a given ticket cannot be divided among two or more prizes. (For example, a player enters Game Number 1597, SCORCHING HOT 7s, which has 10 entries. All 10 entries will be applied to the player's prize choice, and the 10 entries cannot be divided with one or more other prizes.) A player will make a prize choice for each ticket entered, and the prize choice for each ticket entered is independent of the prize choice for any other ticket. A player may choose the same prize for each ticket entered. The odds of winning a given prize depends on the number of entries allocated by all players for each prize.
(4) Entry Periods and Drawings. The Florida Lottery will conduct two (2) drawings during the Bonus Play. Winners for each drawing will be randomly selected from entries submitted and received before midnight (ET) of a Drawing Entry Period end date, as identified in the table below.
