Q: When I enter my ticket number in a Scratch-Off second chance promotion, I get an error message stating that the ticket is not a valid non-winning ticket . What should I do?
A. First, make sure the ticket you are holding is not a winning Scratch-Off ticket. Next, check that the numbers you are entering exactly match what's on your ticket. Finally, if you've verified both of those and you feel that it is a non-winning ticket for an active Scratch-Off second chance promotion, contact the Lottery's Customer Service Department at (850) 487-7787.

Q: When I enter my voucher serial number in an On-line second chance promotion, I get an error message stating that the voucher is not valid. What should I do?
A. First, make sure you entered the first 13 digits of your 19 digit voucher serial number correctly. Secondly, vouchers CANNOT be entered into the drawing on the day of purchase. Players entering a voucher on the day of purchase will be directed to return at a later date to enter their voucher into the drawing. The date of purchase is located at the top of the voucher. Finally, if you've verified both of those and you feel that it is a valid voucher for an active On-line second chance promotion, contact the Lottery's Customer Service Department at (850) 487-7787.
