53ER16-17 April Retailer Book Activation Promotion.

(1) Beginning Tuesday, April 5, 2016, through Wednesday, April 6, 2016, the Florida Lottery will conduct the April Retailer Book Activation Promotion (“Promotion”) in which Florida Lottery retailers will have a chance to win $4,000. 

(2) Florida Lottery retailers who activate at least one book of each of the three April launch Scratch-Off games (also known as instant games) by midnight ET on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, will be entered into one of eighteen drawings on Thursday, April 14, 2016. The three April launch games are: Game Number 5010, WHEEL OF FORTUNE®; Game Number 1304, TRIPLE CASH; and Game Number 1305, EA$Y MONEY.

(3) Drawings and Prizes. The eighteen retailer drawings, determined by district and retailer category (corporate or independent), will be conducted by the Florida Lottery using a certified random number generation process. The number of entries drawn and prizes awarded will be in accordance with the following table:

Lottery Sales District	Prize Per Retailer	Number of Corporate Retailer Prizes	Number of Independent Retailer Prizes
District 1- Tallahassee	$4,000	2	2
District 3- Pensacola	$4,000	2	2
District 4- Jacksonville	$4,000	2	2
District 5- Gainesville	$4,000	2	2
District 6-Orlando	$4,000	4	4

District 10- Ft. Myers	$4,000	2	2
District 11- West Palm Beach	$4,000	2	2
District 13- Miami	$4,000	4	8
A total of 52 $4,000 prizes will be awarded in the Promotion.

 

An individual retailer location may only win one prize per drawing. Alternate entries will be drawn in each drawing. The number of alternate entries drawn will be twice the number of prizes to be awarded in that drawing. Alternate entries will be used as needed in the order in which they are drawn to award a prize in the event a retailer’s entry is disqualified. Retailers will be subject to disqualification from the drawing if the Florida Lottery determines that the return of one or more of the qualifying books of tickets invalidates the entry.

(4) Winning retailers will receive their Promotion prize check within approximately thirty days of the drawing.

(5) Retailers whose Florida Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to the promotional prize award shall be paid the promotional prize provided the termination or inactivation was not due to non-compliance with Florida Lottery laws, rules or terms of the retailer contract.

(6) A promotional prize will be considered compensation to the retailer for Internal Revenue Service purposes. The Florida Lottery reserves the right to apply the promotional prize awarded against a retailer’s outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery.
