(1) Name of Game. “IN BETWEEN.”

(2) Price. IN BETWEEN lottery tickets sell for $2.00 per play.

(3) Game Description. IN BETWEEN is a Fast Play™ instant-win game (also known as an online terminal game) printed from an authorized Florida Lottery retailer terminal at the time of purchase. Players may play the game and determine immediately if the ticket is a winner. All prizes are predetermined. The player does not have the ability to select his or her own numbers or play symbols.

(4) IN BETWEEN Lottery Ticket Purchase. Players may purchase an IN BETWEEN lottery ticket at an authorized retailer by: telling the retailer or presenting to the retailer a Fast Play barcode found on IN BETWEEN supporting materials; or by submitting an IN BETWEEN play slip for processing through a retailer terminal. Supporting materials with an IN BETWEEN Fast Play barcode include tear pads, game brochures or Florida Lottery emails. An IN BETWEEN Fast Play barcode may also be printed from the Florida Lottery’s website at flalottery.com.

(a) Players who choose to purchase an IN BETWEEN lottery ticket or tickets by telling the retailer shall specify the number of plays desired. Each play will print on a separate ticket.

(b) Players who choose to present a barcode to purchase an IN BETWEEN lottery ticket shall provide the barcoded material to the retailer to scan. One scanned barcode will produce one IN BETWEEN lottery ticket.

(c) Players who choose to use a play slip to purchase an IN BETWEEN lottery ticket or tickets may mark the appropriate box on the play slip for the number of plays desired and submit it to the retailer. The retailer will process the play slip through the retailer terminal. Each play will print on a separate ticket. Play slips must be Florida Lottery approved and players must use only blue or black ink or pencil for making selections. The use of mechanical, electronic, computer-generated or any other non-manual method of marking play slips is prohibited.

(d) IN BETWEEN lottery tickets cannot be purchased through a Florida Lottery vending machine.

(e) IN BETWEEN lottery tickets cannot be canceled.

(5) How to Play and Determination of Prizewinners. Each IN BETWEEN lottery ticket will contain a “YOUR NUMBERS” play area that contains twelve numbers from a field of one to forty and an “IN BETWEEN” play area that contains two numbers from a field of one to forty. To play, count the number of “YOUR NUMBERS” that fall within the two “IN BETWEEN” numbers (not including the two “IN BETWEEN” numbers themselves). For example, if 20 and 25 are the two IN BETWEEN numbers, the numbers 21, 22 23, and 24 are the only numbers that fall within the two IN BETWEEN numbers. A ticket having four to twelve numbers in the “YOUR NUMBERS” play area that fall within the two “IN BETWEEN” numbers (not including the two “IN BETWEEN” numbers themselves) shall entitle the claimant to the corresponding prize shown in the PRIZE LEGEND for the total number of numbers IN BETWEEN. Only the highest prize won will be paid per ticket.

(6) The prizes are: $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, and $10,000.
