(2) During the Promotion Period, for every $10 in PICK 2™, PICK 3™, PICK4™, PICK 5™, FANTASY 5® and CASH4LIFE® combined daily game sales, Florida Lottery retailers will earn one entry into a retailer drawing for a chance to win $2,000. Additionally, retailers will earn one bonus entry for every $10 in FANTASY 5 sales.

(3) Drawings and Prizes. Eighteen retailer drawings will be held on March 4, 2020; two drawings per district

(one corporate and one independent) in each of nine Districts. Drawings 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:

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 if the Florida Lottery determines that:

(a) the retailer has already been awarded a prize in that drawing;

(b) the retailer is not in good financial standing with the Florida Lottery at the time of prize payment; or

(c) the retailer is not in an “active” retailer status at the time of prize payment.

(4) A promotional prize will be considered compensation to the retailer and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service by the Florida Lottery.
