What it is and who needs it.
What the lottery retailer bond actually covers
A licensed Florida Lottery retailer collects money for tickets that ultimately belongs to the state. Under Fla. Stat. § 24.112, the Florida Lottery can require a retailer to post a bond as a financial guarantee that those funds are remitted.
The amount is set by the Lottery case by case, based on the retailer's financial standing and sales — but it may not exceed twice the retailer's average estimated ticket sales for a remittance period. The Lottery can also use blanket bonds or accept eligible securities (CDs, U.S. bonds) in lieu of a surety bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the Lottery recovers unpaid funds against the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Florida Lottery sets, with pricing from $100 and your exact price shown at the application.
