How to Play FLORIDA LOTTO
FLORIDA LOTTO gives you millions of reasons to play — twice a week. All it takes is a dollar and a dream. You never know, the next big LOTTO winner could be you.
Pick six numbers from 1 through 53 in one panel on your FLORIDA LOTTO play slip. Or mark the Quick Pick box and let the terminal randomly pick some or all of your numbers. You can play up to five panels on each play slip. Each play costs $1. You can play the same numbers for more than one drawing. To play up to 52 consecutive drawings, mark the Advance Play area on your play slip, or tell the retailer how many advance draws you wish to play. Give your play slip and payment to the On-line Retailer. You will receive a ticket printed with your numbers and draw date(s).
Drawings are held Wednesday and Saturday nights at 11 p.m. Eastern Time and carried on 13 Lottery Affiliate TV Stations. You can purchase tickets until 10:40 p.m. Eastern Time on the night of the draw. You can claim your prizes beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time the following morning.
If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.
All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable draw date.
How to Win
Players win FLORIDA LOTTO prizes by matching in any order three, four, five or six of the winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played.
FLORIDA LOTTO pays multimillion-dollar jackpot prizes. The advertised jackpot is an estimate of the amount the Lottery will pay a single jackpot ticket in 30 annual payments. This is based on projected sales for that draw period, plus funds rolled over from previous drawings, if any, and the anticipated interest rate for long-term investments.
You can choose to receive your portion of the FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot in a one-time Cash Option payment, or you can receive it in 30 annual payments. You have 60 days after the winning draw date to elect the Cash Option payment. The Cash Option payout is each jackpot ticket winner's portion of the prize pool that is available immediately for investment (approximately half of the advertised jackpot amount.)
Appropriate federal income taxes will be withheld from both Cash Option and Annual Payments at the time payments are made.

*The estimated prize payouts to each winner are based on average of previous payouts. FLORIDA LOTTO is a pari-mutuel game. Actual prize amounts vary depending on sales and the number of winners in each prize category.
**If no FLORIDA LOTTO ticket matches all six winning numbers, the jackpot "rolls over," and the cash in the jackpot prize pool is carried over to the next drawing.
