The ticket number is located above the play instructions on the front of a $250,000 BASS PRO SHOPS® OUTDOOR ADVENTURE Scratch-Off ticket. Scratch off the latex covering to reveal the 24-digit ticket number. Winning $250,000 BASS PRO SHOPS® OUTDOOR ADVENTURE tickets cannot be used for entry in the second chance drawings. The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of entries received.
Players may enter as many times as they wish during the contest period. However, each valid ticket number may only be used one time, for one entry in the Bass Pro Shops® Outdoor Adventure Second Chance Drawings.
Tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery unless players are contacted by the Florida Lottery and requested to do so. Non-winning tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered into the drawing and will not be returned.
(6) The 11 prizewinners in each Bass Pro Shops® Outdoor Adventure Second Chance Drawing will be posted on flalottery.com after the draw. Prizewinners will have 180 days from the applicable draw date to claim their prize. The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify prizewinners using contact information submitted on the player registration; however, the responsibility of claiming a prize remains with the player. The right to claim a prize cannot be assigned to another person or entity.
All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met. To claim a Bass Pro Shops® Outdoor Adventure prize, the player must submit to the Lottery the original valid non-winning $250,000 BASS PRO SHOPS® OUTDOOR ADVENTURE ticket bearing the entry number selected in the drawing. Without such ticket, the player will forfeit his or her right to claim a prize. Winners must submit the valid entry ticket along with a completed Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2, or Spanish Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2S, as referenced in Rule 53ER10-1, and appropriate identification. Winners of the Outdoor Adventure trips must also submit a notarized Florida Lottery Release and Authorization Form DOL-474, revised 10/08, herein incorporated by reference which may be obtained at any Lottery office or retailer, from the Florida Lotterys website at www.flalottery.com, or by writing the Florida Lottery, Public Information, 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4016.
The $1,000 gift card prizes will be mailed to each winners address within approximately 15 business days after the claim has been filed with the Lottery. Adventure trip winners will be provided a prize certificate containing the name of a travel representative from the Lotterys prize fulfillment company to be contacted for making reservations for the adventure trip.
(7) Federal income tax withholding on the value of the outdoor adventure prize package will be paid by the Florida Lottery. Any additional federal, state, and/or local taxes or other fees are the responsibility of the winner.
(8) A cash option of $17,295 is available in lieu of the adventure trip prizes. Federal income tax withholding will be deducted from the cash prize.
(9) If the winner of a prize is identified as owing an outstanding debt to a state agency or child support collected through a court, the debt will be collected in accordance with section 24.115, Florida Statutes. If the debt of an outdoor adventure winner is an amount less than the cash option value of $17,295, the winner shall receive the excess cash value after applicable federal withholding tax has been deducted and the debt has been satisfied. If the debt is an amount greater than the prize, the entire cash value of the prize remaining after deduction of applicable federal withholding tax will be applied toward the outstanding debt as provided in Section 24.115, Florida Statutes.
(10) All prizes are subject to the provisions of Chapter 24, Florida Statutes, and rules promulgated thereunder, including the official Bass Pro Shops® Outdoor Adventure Second Chance Drawings rule.
(11) Players must be at least 18 years of age. Persons prohibited by Section 24.116, Florida Statutes, from purchasing a Florida Lottery ticket are not eligible to play.
