(2) To enter a non-winning Indiana Jones ticket into the Indiana Jones Second Chance Drawing, players must visit the Florida Lottery’s website at www.flalottery.com, click on the Indiana Jones Second Chance Drawing icon and follow the directions to input their non-winning ticket number(s). The ticket number is a 22-digit number printed across the bottom on the front of an Indiana Jones ticket. The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of entries received.
