Florida lottery games that are no longer selling well or don’t fit with their marketing strategies will be removed from sale starting April 5. Whether for sales reasons, contract issues or simply changing markets; these must go.
These games may still have the chance of winning top prizes in a second chance drawing that takes place after winners are determined. Your entry to this drawing depends on the dollar value of your ticket purchase – for instance, purchasing one $10 Florida Lottery 10X THE CASH ticket gives one entry while purchasing two $2 20X THE CASH tickets gives two entries in this second chance drawing.
At each drawing, a total of 65 valid entries will be selected through a certified random number generator process and raffled off using random number generation technology. The first three valid entries drawn will each win a prize of $10,000 while fourth through tenth valid entries will win $5,000 prizes while eleventh to forty-fifth valid entries will each receive a prize of $1,000.
No later than one business day after prizewinners are posted online by the Florida Lottery website, winners will be contacted either by telephone or email using their registration data as contact information; this includes physical mailing address. If they cannot be reached either via telephone or email, no additional attempt will be made by the Florida Lottery to locate them.
If a winning entry of non-winning or expired Florida Lottery game turns out to be unclaimed or expired, players may still claim prizes by taking their ticket and proof of identity to an authorized retailer for Florida Lottery products or to one of the Florida Lottery district offices; winning tickets valued $599 or less must be claimed from them directly; anything valued over this amount can be claimed from either their authorized retailer or at Florida Lottery headquarters.
Each eligible ticket, non-winning and expired Holiday Scratch-Offs and FAST PAY games purchased during the Promotion Period can only be entered once for consideration in a second chance drawing during an Entry Period. Florida Lottery will make available throughout the Promotion Period various promo codes offering additional entries via its social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter); Gas Station TV (GSTV); In-Store L-Bars; and Digital Banners. Each promo code is only valid during its designated entry period and may only be redeemed once. Players may submit up to 200 tickets daily into the second chance draw. Once an account is deleted through either the Florida Lottery App or website, all account data and ticket entries associated with it will be permanently lost. These deleted accounts cannot be reinstated by creating another one with different email address; only new accounts created under different email address can reactivate.
