If a second tie-breaker is required, an Incentive bonus will be awarded based on the highest percentage increase of total Lottery sales (all draw game and all Scratch-Offs) during the entire Incentive Period (November 1, 2025 through and including January 11, 2026). 6. Scratch-Off sales will be measured based on book settlement. The Lottery reserves the right to review book settlement and return practices to ensure validity of final results. (3) PICK Daily Games Provisions. (a) State-wide PICK sales for the 2024 and 2025 periods, defined in subparagraph (1)(c)1., will be determined. The two amounts will be compared against each other to determine the state-wide percentage change in sales (2024 period versus the 2025 period). (b) Each eligible Retailer’s PICK sales for the 2024 period and the 2025 period will also be calculated to determine the percentage change in sales. (c) A Retailer’s percentage change in sales will be compared to the state-wide percentage change in sales for the 2024 and 2025 periods. If a Retailer’s percentage change exceeds the state-wide percentage, the Retailer will receive a ten percent (10%) sales commission on the incremental PICK sales for the 2025 period (November 1 – 30, 2025) over the 2024 period (November 2 – December 1, 2024). (I.e. A Retailer’s sales in excess of the overall State’s sales will earn a Retailer 10% commission for that amount. Sales up to, and including, the State’s amount will earn the standard commission. For example, A Retailer has a 10% increase in PICK sales for the 2025 period over the 2024 period. State-wide sales increased 7%. The Retailer would receive a 10% commission on the 3% difference.) (d) Any Retailer not exceeding the state-wide sales percentage change (2024 period versus the 2025 period) will not receive PICK bonus sales commissions, and the standard sales commission will apply. (4) Payment Provisions. (a) Bonus Awards Deemed Compensation. All incentive bonuses awarded are deemed compensation and will be reported to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). (b) Bonus Award Payments. 1. Scratch-Off earnings will be paid to Retailers via check. For any check that has been uncashed within 90 days of issuance, and if the Retailer is in arrearage to the Florida Lottery, the funds issued for the Incentive payment shall be applied to the balance owed. 2. PICK earnings will be paid to Retailers via an adjustment to their Weekly Settlement Report at the end of the Incentive Period. (c) A Retailer must be active and in good contractual standing at the time a Bonus award is distributed in order to receive its Bonus award; this is irrespective of whether the Retailer would otherwise qualify. (d) Bonus awards that are not awarded or are unable to be awarded for any reason will not otherwise be awarded. (e) If there is a conflict with a provision set forth in this Rule and any promotional materials, including, but not limited to, point of sale, television, radio, and print advertising, and other promotional media/materials, the terms of this Rule shall prevail.
