53ER13-44 $25,000 ADVANCE TO GO Second Chance Promotion.

(1) Beginning July 2, 2013, and continuing through September 2, 2013, the Florida Lottery (or “Lottery”) will conduct the $25,000 ADVANCE TO GO Second Chance Promotion in which players can enter their non-winning Florida Lottery MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off tickets (or “MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off tickets”) on the Florida Lottery website for a chance to win cash prizes up to $25,000 or MONOPOLY® Millionaire board games. Non-winning tickets from the following MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off games are eligible for entry:

 

MONOPOLY™ Ticket Name and Game Number

MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1196

MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1197

MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1198

MONOPOLY™ MILLIONAIRE, Instant Game Number 1199

MONOPOLY™ MILLIONAIRE, Instant Game Number 1195

$500,000 MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1152

$3,000,000 MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1063

 

Winning MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off tickets and tickets from the following MONOPOLY™ games cannot be used for entry into the $25,000 ADVANCE TO GO Second Chance Promotion: $1,000,000 MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1109; MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1137; MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1143; and MONOPOLY™, Instant Game Number 1144.

(2) To enter a non-winning MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off ticket into one of the second chance drawings further described in subsection (4) below, players must enter on the Florida Lottery’s website at www.flalottery.com. On the home page of the Lottery’s website, players can click on the MONOPOLY™ banner and follow the “Ticket Entry” directions. Players will be prompted to log-in or register. The 24-digit ticket number (4-digit game number and 20-digit ticket number) is located at the bottom on the front of a MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off ticket under the latex covering. Players are to scratch off the latex covering to reveal the number and enter the entire 24-digit ticket number in the designated area. Players will be provided an option to play the interactive MONOPOLY™ Millionaire Dice Bonus Board Game to collect properties and earn points which will be converted into the number of entries assigned to the ticket. If players choose not to play the game or if they experience technical problems while playing the MONOPOLY™ Millionaire Bonus Board Game, the entries that would have been revealed in the course of playing the game will be credited to their entry account for that draw period. The total number of entries for each non-winning MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off ticket is pre-determined based on the price point of the ticket. Players will receive one entry for every dollar of the price of the ticket entered into the drawing plus an additional predetermined number of entries within a range of one and five. The table below shows the total entry range assigned to each MONOPOLY™ Scratch-Off ticket price point.

 

MONOPOLY™ Ticket Price Point	Initial Entry	Additional Entry Range	Total Entry Range
$1	1	1-5	2-6
$2	2	1-5	3-7
$5	5	1-5	6-10
$10	10	1-5	11-15
$20	20	1-5	21-25

 

(3) 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 one second chance drawing. Tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery unless players are contacted by the Florida Lottery and requested to do so. Non-winning tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered into the drawing and will not be returned. The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of entries submitted.

(4) Drawings.

(a) Three second chance drawings will be held between July 24, 2013, and September 4, 2013, from entries submitted before midnight ET on the last day of the entry period for each drawing. The drawing dates are:

 

Drawing	Drawing Date	Entry Period

(b) In each of the three second chance drawings, one grand prize winner will win $25,000, five second prize winners will each win $2,500, twenty third prize winners will each win $200, and fifty fourth prize winners will each win a MONOPOLY® Millionaire board game. A grand total of two hundred twenty-eight prizes will be awarded in the second chance drawings.

(c) In each of the three drawings, the first valid entry drawn will win the grand prize. The second through sixth valid entries drawn will each win a second prize and will be used in the order in which they are drawn to select an alternate grand prize winner in the event the grand prize cannot be awarded. The seventh through twenty-sixth entries drawn will each win a third prize and will be used in the order in which they are drawn to select an alternate second prize winner in the event a second prize cannot be awarded. The twenty-seventh through the seventy-sixth entries drawn will each win a fourth prize. Alternate winners will not be selected for third and fourth prizes.

(5) Notification. The prizewinners in each second chance drawing will be posted on www.flalottery.com after the drawing.

(a) The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify each grand prize, second prize, third prize and fourth prize winner by telephone, U.S. mail or email using the contact information provided in the winner’s registration data no later than one week after the winners are posted on the website.

(b) If the Florida Lottery is unable to contact a grand or second prize winner within three weeks of the date of the drawing, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will award the prize to the first alternate winner.

This process will continue until an alternate is contacted or the Florida Lottery has exhausted the list of available alternates. If the Lottery is unable to contact an alternate, the prize will not be awarded. A second or third prize winner will become the alternate winner of the grand prize or a second prize, respectively, only if the Lottery has successfully contacted the winner concerning the original prize within the three week notification period.

(c) An alternate winner who has not claimed the prize he or she originally won at the time of notification that he or she is the alternate winner of a higher prize will be awarded only the higher prize.

(d) If the Florida Lottery is unable to contact a third prize winner within three weeks of the date of the drawing to confirm the winner’s mailing address, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the prize will not be awarded. A third prize winner who forfeits his or her right to claim a third prize will also forfeit his or her right to serve as an alternate for a second prize.

(e) If the Florida Lottery is unable to contact a fourth prize winner within three weeks of the date of the drawing to confirm the winner’s mailing address, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the prize will not be awarded.
