The claimant must file a claim with a Lottery office and complete a Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2, or Spanish Winner Claim Form DOL 173-2S, as referenced in Rule 53ER08-89, F.A.C., and a notarized Florida Lottery Release and Authorization Form DOL-474.

The risk of loss or late delivery of a claim submitted by mail remains with the player. Prizes must be claimed within sixty days following the official end of game date of the $250,000 MUSTANG MONEY instant lottery game.

(b) Upon the Lottery’s receipt of the completed documents as specified in paragraph (13)(a), the Florida Lottery will notify the fulfillment company, which will arrange for delivery of the vehicle to the designated authorized Ford dealership from which the winner will take possession of his or her vehicle prize. The designated dealership will be as near to the winner’s place of residence as is practicable. The winner must present proof of a valid driver’s license and proof of vehicle insurance as required by the laws of the state in which the vehicle is delivered, which in Florida are Chapters 322 and 320, F.S., respectively. If the winner is unable to provide proof of a valid driver’s license, the vehicle must be removed by trailer or similar transport equipment provided by the winner or driven by a person who is able to provide proof of a valid driver’s license. The winner must take possession of the vehicle within thirty (30) days of receipt of notification that it is ready for pick up at the designated dealership. If the winner fails to take possession of the vehicle within thirty (30) days of pickup notification, unless prior alternate arrangements have been made, the vehicle prize will be forfeited and no cash prize will be substituted. The cost of travel to take possession of a vehicle prize shall be the responsibility of the prizewinner.

(c) The Florida Lottery provides no warranty for the Mustang convertible. Any warranties and guarantees are those of the manufacturer only.

(15) A cash option of $38,000 is available to winners in lieu of a vehicle. Federal income tax withholding will be deducted from the cash prize. Any additional federal, state and/or local taxes or other fees are the responsibility of the winner.

(16) A nonresident alien who is selected as a vehicle winner will be awarded the cash value of $38,000 in lieu of the vehicle. Federal income taxes will be withheld from the prize amount at the rate of thirty percent (30%) pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The reporting and subsequent payment of any additional federal, state and/or local taxes shall be the responsibility of the nonresident alien.

(17) If the winner of a Mustang vehicle is identified as owing an outstanding debt to a state agency or child support collected through a court, the debt will be collected in lieu of award of the prize. If the debt of a Mustang vehicle winner is an amount less than the cash option value of $38,000, the winner shall receive the excess cash value once applicable federal withholding tax has been deducted and the debt has been satisfied. If the debt is an amount greater than $38,000, 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, F.S.
