In such case, the value of the prize for tax reporting will be reduced by the estimated value of the airfare.
***The value of the Grand Prize is dependent upon the location of the winner and the bowl game.

Vouchers or tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered in the drawing and will not be returned.
(5) The prize winners in the Florida Gators Fan Experience drawings will be posted on flalottery.com after the drawings. The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify prize winners in the first four (4) drawings by telephone or e-mail no later than two (2) days after the winners are drawn. If the Florida Lottery is unable to contact a prizewinner within four (4) days of the date of the drawing, the winner will forfeit his or her right to claim the prize and the prize will not be awarded. The Florida Lottery will attempt to notify prize winners in the Grand Prize drawing by telephone, certified mail or e-mail no later than one (1) week after the winners are drawn.

Federal income taxes are required to be withheld from a prize awarded to a nonresident alien claimant at the rate of thirty percent (30%) pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Because there is no cash from which to withhold taxes, a nonresident alien claimant who is selected as a winner will be required to pay the withholding tax or forfeit the prize.
