Prices, draw times and starting jackpots are from each game's page on floridalottery.com (checked Oct. 29, 2026). "Odds of top prize" is the number of possible number combinations; the Florida Lottery also publishes overall odds of winning any prize (for example 1 in 24.87 for Powerball and 1 in 7.61 for Florida Lotto). Games and rules change, so check the official game pages.
Plain truth about odds: every drawing is random. Past numbers don't make any number more or less likely to come up, so we don't publish "hot" or "due" numbers.
Claiming a prize
First, protect the ticket
- Sign the back of your ticket right away, so no one else can claim it.
- Keep it somewhere safe. The Florida Lottery can't look up or replace a lost ticket.
- Check it with a self-check scanner at any retailer.
Deadlines
- Draw games: 180 days after the draw date.
- Scratch-Offs: 60 days after the game officially ends.
- Lump sum or annual payments: for prizes that offer a choice, you have 60 days to pick the cash option, and the choice is final. Florida Lotto, Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are otherwise paid in 30 yearly payments; Jackpot Triple Play in 25.
Where to claim
| $599 or less | Any Florida Lottery retailer or district office |

Taxes and privacy
Federal taxes
- The Florida Lottery reports all winnings of $2,000 and up to the IRS.
- With a valid Social Security number, it withholds 24% federal tax on prizes over $5,000. Without one, it withholds 30% on all prizes.
- You may owe more at tax time, depending on your income. Florida has no state personal income tax, but federal tax still applies.
Tax rates change. Talk to a tax professional or the IRS. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
Can winners stay anonymous?
- Under Florida law (section 24.1051, Florida Statutes), a winner's street address and phone number are kept confidential unless the winner agrees to release them.
- For prizes of $250,000 or more, the winner's name is confidential for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed. After that, the name becomes a public record.
This part of the law is scheduled for review and repeal on Oct. 2, 2027, unless the Legislature renews it. Read the statute
Watch for scams
Be wary of anyone who says you won a lottery you never entered, or who asks for money up front to release a prize. The Florida Lottery's Winner Resources page lists Federal Trade Commission and lottery-industry scam help.
Where the money goes
The Florida Lottery says about 65% of ticket sales go back to players as prizes, about 25% goes to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, about 5.75% goes to commissions and bonuses for its 13,000-plus retailers, and about 1% covers operating costs.

A short history
- Nov. 4, 1986: Florida voters approve a constitutional amendment creating a state lottery to raise money for education, by a two-to-one margin.
- June 4, 1987: Gov. Bob Martinez signs the Florida Public Education Lottery Act.
- Jan. 12, 1988: The first Scratch-Off game, MILLIONAIRE, goes on sale. About $95 million in tickets sell in the first 12 days, a national record at the time.
- 1997: The Legislature creates the Bright Futures Scholarship Program, funded mainly by the Lottery.
Scratch-Offs (instant tickets)
Scratch-Offs are printed tickets you buy at a retailer and scratch right away. Each game has its own price (often $1 to $50), prize table and overall odds printed on the ticket and on the Florida Lottery site. Games come and go; when a Scratch-Off game officially ends, winners usually have 60 days after the end date to claim.
What the public record shows
- The Florida Lottery publishes remaining top prizes and prize counts for active Scratch-Off games.
- A “remaining†prize can already be on a ticket that was sold but not yet claimed. Remaining prizes are not a list of unsold winners waiting at your store.
- Published odds describe the full print run of a game. They are not a forecast for the next ticket you buy.
Where to look it up
- Official Scratch-Offs directory — current games, prices and odds.
- Winning numbers & results hub
- Retailer scanners and the official Florida Lottery app can validate a ticket you already hold.
This page does not rank Scratch-Offs or publish “hot†tickets. For prizes and rules, use the official game pages.
How to check a ticket
- Sign the back before you leave the store or put the ticket away.
- Use a self-check scanner at any Florida Lottery retailer, or ask the clerk to scan it.
- Compare draw-game numbers with the official results on floridalottery.com or the cards above.
- If the scanner or site says you won $600 or more, keep the ticket safe and follow the claim steps below — do not post a photo of the full ticket online.
The Florida Lottery cannot look up or replace a lost ticket. The physical ticket is the proof of play.
Unclaimed prizes
If a prize is not claimed by the deadline, Florida law treats it as an unclaimed prize.
- 80% of unclaimed prize money goes to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (education).
- 20% goes back into the prize pool for future prizes or special promotions.
- For multi-state jackpots (Powerball / Mega Millions), an unclaimed jackpot is handled under the multi-state rules and returned to the participating lotteries in proportion to sales for that jackpot series.

Quick answers
Do past winning numbers change the odds?
No. Each drawing is independent. We do not publish hot, cold or due numbers.
Is Florida Lottery income taxed by the state?
Florida has no state personal income tax. Federal tax still applies; see Taxes and privacy above.
Can I stay anonymous if I win big?
Address and phone stay confidential. For prizes of $250,000 or more, your name stays confidential for 90 days after you claim, then becomes a public record — unless the Legislature changes § 24.1051 (that 90-day name rule is set to sunset Oct. 2, 2027 unless renewed).
What if my ticket is damaged?
The Lottery’s rules require a ticket that can be validated. Damaged, altered or unreadable tickets may not be paid. Keep tickets flat and dry; see the Winner’s Guide for details.
Where does ticket money go?
About 65% prizes, about 25% education, about 5.75% retailers, about 1% operations — figures the Lottery publishes on its About / education pages.
