  2. How to Enter.
    1. To enter an Eligible ticket into a Promotion Drawing, a player may use the Florida Lottery's website at floridalottery.com or use the Florida Lottery's Mobile Convenience App ("App"). Only Eligible tickets purchased during a given Drawing Entry Period can be entered during that Drawing Entry Period. For example, tickets purchased during the first Drawing Entry Period may be entered during the time frame for the first Drawing Entry Period but cannot be entered during the second or third Drawing Entry Periods. See subsection (5), below, for Drawing Entry Period dates.
      1. Website. On the home page of the Florida Lottery's website, players click on the Promotions tab and select the HOLIDAY CASH Bonus Play. Players will manually enter the 24-digit ticket number shown on Eligible Holiday Cash tickets or the 19-digit ticket number on Eligible CASH POP tickets on the ticket entry page to collect entries as described in subsection (3), below.
      2. App. On the App, players select the Holiday Cash Bonus Play under the Promotions section. A Promotions button is located on the main menu and on the bottom navigation bar. Players may scan the barcode on the bottom of a ticket or may manually enter the 24-digit ticket number (Eligible Holiday Cash tickets) or 19-digit ticket number (Eligible CASH POP tickets) on the ticket entry page to collect entries as described in subsection (3), below.
      3. Deleted Accounts. If a player deletes his/her account, whether through the App or on the Florida Lottery's website, all account data, including ticket entries, associated with the email address used to register his/her account will also be deleted. Any entries earned will not be entered into a drawing. A player's account cannot be reactivated using the email associated with the deactivated account. Should a player establish a new account utilizing a different email address, account data, including ticket entries, cannot be transferred to the newly established account. Tickets entered under the prior account cannot be re-entered utilizing the newly created account.
      4. Regardless of whether a player chooses to participate in the Promotion by using the web browser or the App, the following provisions shall apply:
        1. a player will be prompted to either register or login;
        2. the player must use the same account login information to enter tickets;
        3. the player will only be required to register one time; and
        4. the player's entry history will be cumulative among the entry platforms.
    2. Any attempt by a player to use more than one account by using multiple or different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods will subject the player and any associated entries to disqualification. In the event a player wins a prize, the name a player uses to register must match the name shown on his/her identification used to make a claim, except for a person who has made a legal name change. A person who has made a legal name change must provide a copy of a marriage certificate/judgment/court order, as applicable, as proof of a differing name. Fictitious names and business names will not be accepted and shall subject the player and any associated entries to disqualification.
    3. The odds of winning depend on the number of entries in a drawing. All entries are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and will be disqualified if eligibility requirements are not met.
    4. Lottery tickets should not be mailed to the Lottery for entry into a drawing. Tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery for entry into the Promotion will not be entered into a drawing and will not be returned.
  3. Earning Entries into the Promotion.

A player may enter a maximum of 200 tickets per day. Each ticket number can only be entered one time and cannot be entered again for another drawing.

If the Lottery is unable to have contact by email or telephone with the alternate winner within ten (10) calendar days of the date of notification, the alternate winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Lottery will select the next alternate winner. This process will continue until an alternate is contacted or the Lottery has exhausted the list of alternates due to unsuccessful notification attempts or due to failure by a winner or an alternate winner to timely provide required claim documentation as set forth in subsection (8), below. The Lottery is not responsible or liable for system failures of any sort or type, including, but not exclusively, computer failures, email service failures, and telephone failures. If a prize cannot be awarded for any reason, the prize will not otherwise be awarded.

The Lottery is not responsible for delays in mailing or lost/stolen mail.
  9. Award of Drawing Prizes. Upon the Florida Lottery's timely receipt of a winner's required documentation, the Lottery will award the prize to that winner, subject to applicable federal tax withholding and analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child Support Debt.
  10. Analysis for State-Owed Debt and Child Support Debt - Drawing Prizes. Prior to the award of drawing prizes, winners will be analyzed for child support debt and Florida state-owed debt. If more than one prize is awarded to a winner, a separate analysis shall occur prior to payment of each prize. If the winner is identified as owing outstanding debt to any state agency or owes child support, the debt will be offset in accordance with Section 24.115, Fla. Stat. If the debt is less than the amount of the cash prize, the balance of the prize, less applicable income tax withholding on the full prize amount, and after the debt is offset shall be awarded. If the debt is greater than any cash prize, the entire prize amount, after applicable income tax withholding on the full prize amount, will be applied to the outstanding debt.
  11. Taxes. All federal, state, and/or local taxes and/or other costs and fees on all prizes will be the responsibility of winners. For $20,000 prizes, and pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Service code, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of twenty-four percent (24%) for U.S. citizens and legal U.S. residents and at a rate of thirty percent (30%) for nonresident winners. For all drawing prizes, federal income taxes will be withheld at a rate of thirty percent (30%) for nonresident winners. The reporting and subsequent payment of any additional federal, state, and/or local taxes shall be the responsibility of winners.
