How much does a lottery retailer bond cost in Florida?

Why do I need this bond?

Florida lottery bonds ensure that principals (lottery retailers) account for and promptly pay all money due to the Florida Lottery and comply with the provisions of all statutes, rules and regulations of the Florida Lottery. If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects the Florida Lottery from financial loss.
