The Florida Lottery deems the winner's registration data as the winner's official contact information. Issuing an email or leaving a telephone message on voicemail, if available, shall constitute notification. The Florida Lottery will not attempt to further locate a winner if attempts to reach the winner by telephone or email are unsuccessful. If the Florida Lottery is unable to have contact by telephone or email with a winner within ten (10) calendar days of the date the winners are posted on the Lottery's website, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will select an alternate winner in accordance with subsection (5), above. If the Florida 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 Florida Lottery will select the next alternate winner. This process will continue until an alternate is contacted or the Florida 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 Florida Lottery is not responsible or liable for email failures or faults; telephone failures or faults; voicemail failures, faults, or unavailability; system, network, or software failures or faults; or the like. If a prize cannot be awarded for any reason, the prize will not otherwise be awarded.

If the Florida Lottery does not receive the required documents from a winner by the tenth calendar day after notification, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the Florida Lottery will award the prize to an alternate winner as described in subsection (5), above. The same timeframe for a winner to return required documentation shall apply to an alternate winner. If a winner mails (United States mail, Federal Express, UPS, or other mailing/shipping service) the required documentation to the Lottery, and the mailing is not received by the Florida Lottery by the deadline set forth herein, the Lottery will choose an alternate in accordance with subsection (5), above.

  9. Award of Drawing Prizes. Upon the Florida Lottery's timely receipt of a winner's required documentation, the Florida 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. Except as specifically defined herein, all federal, state, and/or local taxes and/or other costs and fees on all prizes will be the responsibility of winners. For $25,000 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.
