(2) How to Enter.

(a) To enter an Eligible ticket into a Promotion Drawing, a player may use the Florida Lottery's website at floridalottery.com or use the Florida Lottery's Mobile Convenience App ("App").

1. Website. On the home page of the Florida Lottery's website, players go to the Promotions tab and select the CASH VAULT Bonus Play. Players will click on Register/Login and follow the prompts. Players will manually enter the 24-digit ticket number found on Eligible tickets.

2. App. On the App, players go to the Promotions button, located on either the main menu or on the bottom navigation bar, and select the CASH VAULT Bonus Play. Players will be prompted to log-in or register. Players may scan the barcode on the bottom of a ticket or may manually enter the 24-digit ticket number found on Eligible tickets.

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.

4. Regardless of whether a player chooses to participate in the Bonus Play by using the website or the App, the following provisions will apply:

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

b. the player will only be required to register once; 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.

(c) The odds of winning depend on the number of entries in a drawing. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and will be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.

(d) Lottery tickets should not be mailed to the Florida Lottery for entry into a drawing. Lottery tickets received in the mail will not be entered into a drawing and will not be returned.

(3) How to Earn Entries into the Promotion.

(a) To earn entries into a drawing, a player may enter a ticket number by scanning the barcode on the bottom of an Eligible ticket using his/her mobile device or by manually entering the 24-digit ticket number on the website or the App. A player may earn multiple entries during a Drawing Entry Period; however, a player can only win one Bonus Play 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 either drawing. Training tickets will not be accepted, and tickets with invalid ticket numbers will be disqualified. The hours for ticket entry are between 6:00 a.m. ET and 12:00 midnight ET seven days a week and may be unavailable at other times if there are technical difficulties.

(6) Winner Notification. The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify winners by telephone (notification by telephone is deemed complete by leaving a voicemail message, if available) or email (issuing an email constitutes notification) using the contact information provided in the winners’ registration data within one business day after the winners are posted on the Lottery’s website. The Lottery deems a winner’s registration data as his/her official contact information. Issuing an email or leaving a message on voicemail, if available, shall constitute notification. The Lottery will not attempt to further notify a winner if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. If the Lottery is unable to have contact by telephone or email with a winner within ten calendar days of the date the winners are posted on the Lottery’s website, the winner will forfeit his/her right to claim the prize and the Lottery will select an alternate winner in accordance with subsection (4), above. If the Lottery is unable to have contact by email or telephone with the alternate winner within ten calendar days of the date of notification, the alternate winner will forfeit his/her right to claim the prize and the Lottery will select the next alternate winner. This process will continue until an alternate is contacted or the Lottery has exhausted the list of alternates due to unsuccessful notification attempts or due to failure by a winner or an alternate winner to timely provide required claim documentation as set forth in subsection (7), below. The Lottery is not responsible or liable for system failures or faults of any sort or type, including, but not exclusively, computer failures or faults, email service failures or faults, telephone service failures or faults, and voicemail failures, faults, or unavailability. If a prize cannot be awarded for any reason, the prize will not be awarded.

(7) How to Claim a Prize.

(a) To claim a prize won in a drawing, a winner must submit to the Florida Lottery a completed Winner Claim Form DOL-173-2, Revised 2/2023, or Spanish Winner Claim Form DOL-173-2S, Revised 2/2023, and a copy of acceptable identification as set forth in the Florida Lottery’s rule governing payment of prizes.

(b) A copy of the current prize payment rule can be obtained from the Florida Lottery, Office of the General Counsel, 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4011 or at flrules.org.

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

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

(9) A player can only win one prize per entry.

(10) A winner is not required to submit the Eligible ticket he/she entered to claim a prize.

(11) Analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child Support Debt. Prior to the award of a prize, a winner will be analyzed for Florida state-owed debt and child support debt. If more than one prize is awarded to a winner, a separate analysis shall occur prior to payment of each prize. If the winner 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.

(12) Taxes.

(a) Except as specifically defined herein, all federal, state, and/or local taxes and/or other costs and fees on prizes will be the responsibility of the winner.

(b) For $25,000 prizes, and pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Service code, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of twenty-four percent (24%) for a U. S. citizen or legal U. S. resident and at a rate of thirty percent (30%) for nonresident winner/s. Regardless of prize amount, for all prizes won, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of thirty percent (30%) for nonresident winner/s. The reporting and subsequent payment of any additional federal, state, and/or local taxes and any other fees and costs shall be the responsibility of winners.
