(2) To enter a non-winning Indiana Jones ticket into the Indiana Jones Second Chance Drawing, players must visit the Florida Lotterys website at www.flalottery.com, click on the Indiana Jones Second Chance Drawing icon and follow the directions to input their non-winning ticket number(s). The ticket number is a 22-digit number printed across the bottom on the front of an Indiana Jones ticket. The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of entries received. Players may enter as many times as they wish during the contest period. However, each valid ticket number may only be used one time for one entry into the drawings. Winning Indiana Jones tickets cannot be used for entry into a Second Chance drawing.

Entries received before 12:00 midnight ET on the night before the first drawing will be included in the first drawing. Thereafter, entries received between the entry cutoff time for one drawing and 12:00 midnight ET on the night before the next subsequent drawing will be included in the subsequent drawing.
