NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on November 13, 2009, the Department of the Lottery has issued an order.
The order is in response to a petition for a rule waiver filed on August 9, 2009, by Louis Tolentino, Jr. The Petition was published in Vol. 35, No. 35, F.A.W., on September 4, 2009.
Petitioner sought a waiver of Rule 53ER08-89, Florida Administrative Code, with respect to certain requirements for payment of prizes on tickets. The Department determined that Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been achieved by other means and that application of the rule would create a substantial hardship. Therefore, the petition was GRANTED, subject to conditions that are stated in the Final Order.
