THE FULL TEXT OF THE EMERGENCY RULE IS:

 

53ER18-24 PICK 3™ Retailer Bonus Sales Commission Promotion.

(1) Beginning May 21, 2018, and continuing through May 27, 2018, (Promotional Period) the Florida Lottery will conduct the PICK 3™ Retailer Bonus Sales Commission Promotion during which the Florida Lottery will double the retailer sales commissions for PICK 3 sales.

(2) The Florida Lottery will pay Florida Lottery retailers a five percent bonus sales commission in addition to the standard five percent sales commission set forth in Rule 53ER13-46 F.A.C., Retailer Compensation, for a total ten percent sales commission on the total value of each PICK 3 ticket sold during the Promotional Period. For example, a $1.00 PICK 3 ticket will earn a $.10 sales commission and a $.50 PICK 3 ticket will earn a $.05 sales commission during the Promotional Period. 

(3) The standard sales commissions will be reflected on the retailer’s weekly Settlement Report. 

(4) The bonus sales commissions will be reflected on the retailer’s weekly Settlement Report as an adjustment credit at the conclusion of the Promotional Period.

(5) Retailers whose Florida Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to payment of the PICK 3 bonus sales commissions shall be paid the bonus sales commissions earned provided said termination or inactivation was not due to noncompliance with Chapter 24, Florida Statutes, Chapter 53, Florida Administrative Code, or terms of the retailer contract.

(6) PICK 3 bonus sales commissions will be considered compensation to a retailer and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service by the Florida Lottery. The Florida Lottery reserves the right to apply bonus sales commissions earned against a retailer’s outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery, and to award the remaining balance of the bonus sales commissions, if any.
