  • Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE tickets will automatically print from the terminal with raffle ticket numbers issued in sequential order from 000001 to 750000 as they are sold throughout the state. Each Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE ticket will contain only one raffle ticket number. Players cannot select their own raffle ticket numbers.
  • Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE tickets cannot be canceled.
  • Instant $50 Cash Prize.
    1. Every 40th Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE ticket sold statewide will be an instant winner of $50 until the first 100,000 tickets are sold. When a Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE ticket is produced that entitles the player to an instant prize of $50, a “winner” audio message will play on the terminal. The Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE ticket will contain a Lottery prize alert symbol and a message that the ticket holder is an instant winner. The ticket holder’s “Cash Prize Coupon” will be produced from the terminal. Should an issue arise concerning the transaction and/or prize, it is the player’s responsibility to seek resolution of the issue with the retailer and the Florida Lottery prior to leaving the retail location.
    2. Winners can redeem a $50 Cash Prize Coupon at any Florida Lottery retailer or any Florida Lottery office, or call (850) 487-7777 (TDD (850) 487-7784) for instructions on how to redeem the Cash Prize Coupon by mail.

    4. The number of $50 Cash Prize Coupons produced will depend on the number of raffle tickets sold. If at least 100,000 tickets are sold, a maximum of 2,500 $50 Cash Prize Coupons will be produced.
    5. The odds of winning an instant prize of $50 are 1:40.
  • Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE Drawings. Drawings shall be conducted using a certified random generation process.
    1. Weekly Drawings. In each weekly drawing, only raffle ticket numbers purchased during the corresponding sales period will be included in the drawing. The first and second raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a first prize. The third through the fifty-second raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a second prize. The fifty-third through the two hundred and fifty-second raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a third prize. A total of 1,260 prizes will be available in the five weekly drawings.
      1. In the event that all 750,000 Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE tickets sell out during a weekly drawing sales period in which there are fewer tickets in the weekly drawing than weekly prizes to be awarded, a two-part drawing for that weekly sales period will be held on the date scheduled. Part one of the drawing will include only those raffle ticket numbers sold during the sales period. Raffle ticket numbers will be drawn to determine the weekly winners starting with the first prize winners and continuing with the second and third prize winners for as many raffle tickets as are sold during the sales period. Part two of the drawing will include all 750,000 raffle ticket numbers, except that, raffle ticket numbers that were included in part one of the drawing and raffle ticket numbers selected in the prior weekly drawings will be excluded and ineligible for a prize. The number of eligible raffle ticket numbers drawn in part two of the drawing will be equal to the total number of first, second and third prizes remaining after part one of the drawing is conducted. Raffle ticket numbers drawn will win, in order drawn, any residual first, second or third prizes not awarded in part one of the drawing. The overall odds of winning a prize in part one of the drawing are 1:1. The overall odds of winning a prize in part two of the drawing are (252 minus the number of raffle tickets included in part one of the drawing) in (750,000 minus the number of raffle tickets included in part one of the drawing and the number of raffle tickets selected in the prior weekly drawings).
      2. In the event that all 750,000 Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE tickets sell out and there are no ticket sales during a weekly sales period, the prizes for that sales period will be awarded in a drawing on the date scheduled. The drawing will include all 750,000 raffle ticket numbers, except that, raffle ticket numbers selected in the prior weekly drawings will be excluded and ineligible for a prize. Prizes will be awarded as set forth in paragraph (9)(a). The overall odds of winning a prize are 252 in 750,000 minus the number of raffle tickets selected in the prior weekly drawings.
    2. Grand Prize Drawing. In the Grand Prize drawing, all raffle tickets sold during the Grand Prize drawing sales period will be included in the drawing. The first through seventh raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a grand prize. The eighth through the fourteenth raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a second prize. The fifteenth through the thirty-fourth raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a third prize and the thirty-fifth through the five hundred and thirty-fourth raffle ticket numbers drawn will each win a fourth prize. A total of 534 prizes will be available in the Grand Prize drawing.
    3. Holiday MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE drawings shall be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and witnessed by an accountant employed by an independent certified public accounting firm.
