- the player must use the same account login information to enter tickets;

- Number of Entries Earned.
- A player will receive one (1) entry into a Drawing for every $15 purchased of Eligible tickets.
- For any amount over $15 on the purchase that achieves the $15 sum, that amount will be counted towards the next $15 purchase. For example, a player reaches $17 with a purchase to earn one entry; the additional $2 will be go towards the next $15 total purchase during the same Drawing Entry Period.
- The $15 sum does not include PICK purchases of $0.50 and otherwise not in even dollar purchase amounts. For example, a player purchases a $2.50 PICK ticket; the amount of $0.50 will not be included in the tabulation to achieve $15, only $2 will be applied.
- The sum of $15 does not need to be made in a single purchase nor need to be for the same game but must be made during the same Drawing Entry Period to earn an entry into that Drawing.
- No sums will be carried over into a subsequent Drawing Entry Period.
- Coupons: Upon entry of an Eligible ticket, a player may be awarded a Coupon for an amount of cash that would permit a player to purchase a day's worth of tickets as set forth in the table in paragraph (4)(b), below.

Any Coupon/s not awarded during the Bonus Play will not be otherwise awarded, and players will not otherwise be compensated.
- Coupons may be redeemed at any Florida Lottery retailer or office. Printed Coupons or those presented on a mobile device may be used. Coupons should not be mailed to the Lottery for redemption.

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.
