    (6) Retailers will be subject to disqualification from the drawing for failing to load the activated games into dispensers or if the Florida Lottery determines that the activation and subsequent deactivation of one or more of the qualifying books of tickets invalidates the entry. Alternate entries will be used in the order in which they are drawn to select an alternate retailer winner in the event a retailer winner is disqualified.

    (7) Retailers will receive their April Retailer Book Activation Promotion prize check within approximately thirty days of the drawing.

    (8) 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.

    (9) 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.
