Winning Scratch-Off lottery tickets from the above-listed Holiday Scratch-Off games cannot be used for entry into a Holiday Bonus Play second chance drawing.

(2) How to Enter.

(a) A player may enter a winning or non-winning qualifying FLORIDA LOTTO Draw game ticket or a non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off lottery ticket on the Florida Lottery’s website at flalottery.com or using the Florida Lottery’s Mobile Convenience App (“App”). On the home page of the Florida Lottery’s website, players are to click on the Promotions banner, select the Holiday Bonus Play Promotion and follow the directions. Players will be prompted to log-in or register. On the App, players may click on either of the Promotions buttons, log-in, select the Holiday Bonus Play Promotion and follow the directions. A Promotions button is located on the main menu and also on the bottom navigation bar. A player may only create one account. 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.

(b) On the ticket entry page, players are to enter the entire FLORIDA LOTTO or Holiday Scratch-Off ticket serial number in the designated ticket entry area on the website or scan the ticket barcode using the App.

1. For FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game tickets, the 19-digit ticket serial number is located on the front of the ticket near the bottom. The ticket barcode is also located on the front of the ticket at the bottom.

2. For Holiday Scratch-Off tickets, players are to scratch off the latex covering on the front of the ticket to reveal the 24-digit ticket serial number (4-digit game number and 20-digit ticket number) and the ticket barcode. The ticket serial number is located below the play area on the front of the ticket and the ticket barcode is also located on the front of the ticket.

(c) Entry Determination. Each qualifying FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game ticket and non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off lottery ticket is assigned a predetermined number of entries. A FLORIDA LOTTO ticket will receive five (5) entries, regardless of the total ticket purchase price. The number of entries for a Holiday Scratch-Off ticket corresponds to the price of the non-winning ticket, as shown in the table below.

Ticket Price Point	Game Name	Number of Entries
]$1	Game Number 1471, $10,000 HOLIDAY CASH	1
$2	Game Number 1472, NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION™	2
$5	Game Number 1473, $1,000,000 MONEY TREE	5
$10	Game Number 1474, HOLIDAY CASH BLOWOUT	10
$20	Game Number 1470, 200X THE CASH	20

Each valid FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game ticket and each valid non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off ticket number may only be scanned or entered one time and only into one drawing during the Promotion Period. Tickets should not be mailed to the Florida Lottery unless players are contacted by the Florida Lottery and requested to do so. Lottery tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered into a drawing and will not be returned. The odds of winning depend on the number of entries entered. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.

(3) Promo Codes. Various promo codes will be available to players during the Promotion via social media platforms, websites, emails, commercials and TV touchpoints. A player may earn five (5) additional entries by entering a promo code at the time the player enters a qualifying FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game ticket number or non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off ticket number into a drawing. A qualifying FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game ticket number or a non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off ticket number must be entered to enable the promo code feature on the entry page, and the ticket number and the promo code must be entered at the same time. Promo codes must be manually entered and cannot be scanned for entry. Each promo code is only valid for the corresponding entry period for which it is designated and can only be entered one time. However, more than one different promo code may be entered with a different qualifying FLORIDA LOTTO Draw Game ticket or a different non-winning Holiday Scratch-Off ticket number during the corresponding entry period for which it is designated.

(b) The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify each prizewinner by telephone or email using the contact information provided in the prizewinner’s registration data no later than one business day (Monday-Friday) after the prizewinners are posted on the Florida Lottery’s website. The Florida Lottery deems the winner’s registration data as the prizewinner’s official contact information, including the physical mailing address. The Florida Lottery will not attempt to further locate a prizewinner if the attempt to reach the winner by telephone or email is unsuccessful. If the Florida Lottery is unable to have contact by telephone or email with a prizewinner within seven calendar days of the date the prizewinners are posted on the website, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will award the prize to an alternate prizewinner in accordance with subsection (5) above.

This process will continue until an alternate prizewinner is contacted or the Florida Lottery has exhausted the list of alternate prizewinners due to unsuccessful notification attempts or due to failure by a prizewinner or an alternate prizewinner to timely provide required claim documentation as set forth in subsection (7) below. If the Florida Lottery exhausts the list of alternate prizewinners, the prize will not be awarded.

To claim any prize in a second chance drawing, the prizewinner must submit to the Florida Lottery a completed Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2, revised 2/18, or Spanish Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2S, revised 3/19 and a copy of acceptable identification.
