How to Play Lotto in Florida
Select your numbers
In order to enter the Florida Lotto, you must select six different numbers from 1 to 53. Not sure which to pick? The playslip has a box marked ‘QP’ (Quick Pick) – if checked, the vendor will automatically assign you a set of random numbers. The price of a ticket is $2 per play, and ticket sales close at 10:55 PM ET.
All Florida Lotto tickets come with a multiplier number which will increase your non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. The multiplier number applies to the main draw as well as Florida Lotto’s Double Play.
Advance Play
Use the Advance Play section of your playslip to indicate how many consecutive drawings you want to play, from 2 up to 52. Leave this area blank if you only want to enter the next draw.
Double Play
Double Play is an additional draw that takes place just after the main one, and gives your chosen numbers a second chance at winning. Entering the Double Play draw costs an extra $1. You can win by matching two, three, four, five, or six numbers, with prizes ranging from a free ticket to $250,000.
EZmatch
With EZmatch, you can instantly win cash prizes up to $500. It costs $1 to add it to your Florida Lotto ticket and a separate ticket with the EZmatch numbers will be printed. If any of your chosen numbers match the ones on the EZmatch ticket, you’ve won! In practice, this means you get 6 shots at winning with every ticket.
There are 11 prize tiers, offering instant fixed prizes ranging from $2 to $500!
When to check the winning numbers
Florida Lotto draws are held twice every week, on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 11:15 PM ET. You can see the latest Florida Lotto results from the last 10 draws on the Latest Draws page. For older draws, please visit the Past Numbers page.
Jackpot Payment Options
You can claim the Florida Lotto jackpot as annuity or as a cash lump sum. If you go for the annuity option, the amount will be paid out over 30 years in 29 installments. If multiple tickets win the same jackpot, the jackpot total will be divided with an equal share going to each ticket.
