53ER15-56 Retailer 1,000th Scratch-Off Game Celebration Promotion.

(1) Beginning Tuesday, September 22, 2015, the Florida Lottery will conduct the Retailer 1,000th Scratch-Off Game Celebration Promotion (“Promotion”) in which Florida Lottery retailers will have a chance to win a $1,000 prize by selling $5,000,000 FLAMINGO MULITIPLIER tickets (Game Number 1288) with a $1,000 prize.

(2) $5,000,000 FLAMINIGO MULTIPLIER winning tickets with a $1,000 prize that are submitted by players for validation at any Florida Lottery terminal, statewide, will earn the first twenty (20) eligible selling retailer locations a $1,000 prize.

(3) To be eligible to receive a prize, the retailer who sells a qualifying winning ticket must be an active Florida Lottery retailer at the time the ticket validation scan occurs.

(4) Winning retailers will be determined and awarded prizes as winning tickets are submitted by players and scanned by retailers for validation. The Promotion will end after the 20th $1,000 prize has been awarded to an eligible retailer.

(5) Twenty (20) $1,000 prizes will be awarded to retailers in the Promotion. Award of a $1,000 prize to a retailer is not dependent upon a $5,000,000 FLAMINIGO MULTIPLIER prize of $1,000 being claimed by a winner.

(6) Retailers will receive their Promotion prize check within approximately four weeks of the qualifying ticket validation scan.

(7) Eligible retailers whose Florida Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to the promotional prize award shall be paid the promotional prize provided the termination or inactivation was not due to non-compliance with Florida Lottery laws, rules or terms of the retailer contract.

(8) A promotional prize will be considered compensation to the retailer for Internal Revenue Service purposes.  The Florida Lottery reserves the right to apply the promotional prize awarded against a retailer’s outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery.
