3. Deleted Accounts. If a player deletes his/her account, whether through the App or on the Florida Lottery’s website, all account data, including ticket entries, associated with the email address used to register his/her account will also be deleted. Any entries earned, as described in subsection (3), below, 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.

a. The player must use the same account login information to enter tickets;

b. The player will only be required to register one time; and

c. 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. In the event 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.

The Florida Lottery deems the prizewinner’s registration data as the prizewinner’s official contact information. Issuing an email or leaving a telephone message on voicemail, if available, shall constitute notification. The Florida Lottery will not attempt to further locate a prizewinner if attempts to reach the prizewinner by telephone or email are unsuccessful. If the Florida Lottery is unable to have contact by telephone or email with a prizewinner within ten calendar days of the date the prizewinners are posted on the Lottery’s website, the prizewinner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will select an alternate prizewinner in accordance with subsection (4), above. If the Florida Lottery is unable to have contact by email or telephone with the alternate prizewinner within ten calendar days of the date of notification, the alternate prizewinner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will select the next alternate prizewinner. This process will continue until an alternate is contacted or the Florida Lottery has exhausted the list of alternates 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. The Florida Lottery is not responsible or liable for system failures of any sort or type, including, but not exclusively, computer failures, email service failures, telephone failures. If a prize cannot be awarded for any reason, the prize will not be awarded.

(c) The required documents must be received by the Florida Lottery no later than ten calendar days after the Florida Lottery has first notified the prizewinner by telephone (notification by telephone is deemed complete by leaving a voicemail message, if available) or email (issuing an email constitutes notification). If the Florida Lottery does not receive the required documents from a prizewinner by the tenth calendar day after notification, the prizewinner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will award the prize to an alternate prizewinner as described in subsection (4), above. The same timeframe for a prizewinner to return required documentation to the Florida Lottery shall apply to an alternate prizewinner.

(8) Award of Prizes. Upon the Florida Lottery’s timely receipt of a prizewinner’s required documentation, the Florida Lottery will award the applicable prize for that prizewinner, subject to Federal tax withholding and analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child Support Debt.

(9) Analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child Support Debt. Prior to the award of all cash prizes, a prizewinner will be analyzed for Florida state-owed debt and child support debt. If more than one prize is awarded to the prizewinner, a separate analysis shall occur prior to payment of each prize. If the prizewinner is identified as owing outstanding debt to any state agency or owes child support collected through a court, the debt will be offset in accordance with Section 24.115, F.S. If the debt is an amount less than the amount of the cash prize, the balance of the prize, less applicable income tax withholding on the full prize amount, and after the debt is offset shall be awarded. If the debt is an amount greater than any cash prize, the entire prize amount, after applicable income tax withholding on the full prize amount, will be applied to the outstanding debt.
