53ER18-57 Fast Play™ Replay Second Chance Promotion.

(1) Beginning October 1, 2018, and continuing through November 14, 2018, (“Promotion Period”) the Florida Lottery will conduct the Fast Play™ Replay Second Chance Promotion (“Promotion”). Players who purchase a HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN or BREAK THE BANK Fast Play lottery ticket can scan the barcode on their tickets using the Florida Lottery Collect ‘N Win app on a smartphone or tablet or can manually enter the ticket number through the Florida Lottery’s website to collect symbols and earn entries into a drawing for a chance to win a cash prize. Both winning and non-winning HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN and BREAK THE BANK Fast Play lottery tickets may be used to enter the Promotion. Only HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN and BREAK THE BANK Fast Play lottery tickets purchased during the Promotion Period may be used to enter the Promotion. 

(2) How to Participate.

(a) Florida Lottery Collect ‘N Win App Download and Registration. A player may participate in the Promotion by downloading the free Florida Lottery Collect ‘N Win app at the App Store or at Google Play®. After the app is downloaded and opened, the “Welcome” page will be displayed. Click on the navigation bar found in the top left corner, select the “Login” button and click on “Sign in with email,” “Sign in with Facebook,” or “Sign in with Twitter” to log in. After logging in, a “Register” page will be displayed. Players must register their contact information one time upon first usage to activate their account. A player will be sent an email directing the player to confirm his or her registration. The player should check the junk mail or spam folder if he or she does not promptly receive an email confirmation. Thereafter, the player may directly login by selecting his or her preferred “Sign in” method.  

(b) Web Browser. A player may participate in the Promotion via web browser by visiting the Florida Lottery’s homepage, flalottery.com, clicking on the Fast Play™ Replay Second Chance Promotion banner and following the directions, or by going directly to flalottery.com/fastplayreplay and clicking on the Login link at the top right corner of the page to reach the Login page to login/register as described in paragraph (2)(a) above.

(c) Regardless of whether a player chooses to participate in the Promotion by using the Florida Lottery Collect ‘N Win app or web browser, the following provisions shall apply:

1. the player may use the same account login information to enter tickets;

2. the player will only be required to register one time; and

3. the player’s entry history will be cumulative among the entry platforms.

(3) How to Earn Entries.

To collect play symbols and earn entries into a drawing, a player may scan the barcode on the bottom of a HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN or BREAK THE BANK lottery ticket using a camera on a smartphone or tablet, or a player may manually enter the 19-digit ticket number (located near the bottom of the ticket) on the entry page at flalottery.com/fastplayreplay. Four game cards will appear on the screen. Each game card contains four spots to collect four symbols. A HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN or BREAK THE BANK ticket number entered will randomly generate a quantity (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10) of the four play symbols and place them in an available game card. Once a symbol has been collected on all four play cards, the symbol will be eliminated from the random selection process. When a single game card is filled up with all four different symbols, an entry is generated into the next available drawing and the game card is reset to capture more symbols towards the next entry. Partially completed cards will carry over to the next entry period. A player may earn multiple entries during the promotion period; however, a player may only manually enter or scan up to two hundred tickets per day. Each ticket number can only be scanned or entered one time. Entries that include training tickets that were produced by a retailer terminal while in training mode or tickets with invalid ticket numbers will be disqualified from the applicable drawing or drawings. The odds of winning depend on the number of entries in each drawing. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and may be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met. HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN and BREAK THE BANK lottery tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery for entry into a Promotion drawing. HOT DICE, IN BETWEEN and BREAK THE BANK lottery tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered into a drawing and will not be returned.

(4) Bonus Game/Coupons.

During the Promotion Period, coupons will be generated for every “nth” ticket scanned or entered statewide up to a maximum of 100 coupons per day. The description and number of each type of coupon generated per day is as follows:

(a) $25 Cash Prize (up to 10 per day);

(b) Buy a $1 Fast Play (HOT DICE) ticket; get a free FANTASY 5® Quick Pick ticket (up to 30 per day);

(c) Buy a $2 Fast Play (IN BETWEEN) ticket; get a free FANTASY 5® Quick Pick ticket (up to 30 per day);

(d) Buy a $5 Fast Play (BREAK THE BANK) ticket; get a free FLORIDA LOTTO® Quick Pick ticket (up to 30 per day).

When an nth ticket is generated, it will activate a Spin & Win bonus game in which the player can either choose to play the bonus game by clicking on the “Play” button or choose not to play the bonus game by clicking on the “OK” button. Regardless of whether the player plays the bonus game, a coupon will be added to the “My Coupons” section of the “Coupons” page of the player’s account. To redeem a coupon, the player must print the coupon and present it to any Florida Lottery retailer or a Florida Lottery District Office. Coupons may not be redeemed by mail. Coupons are valid for one use only and must be redeemed by 11:59:59 ET on January 31, 2019. The odds of winning a coupon depend on the number of tickets entered per day.
