Florida Lottery Results
The Florida Lottery offers a variety of games, giving players numerous chances to win. Here’s a rundown of some popular games and how to check your numbers.
Popular Florida Lottery Games
- Powerball: A multi-state lottery game with huge jackpots. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. To play, select five white balls (numbers 1-69) and one red Powerball (number 1-26). Matching all six numbers wins the jackpot. Smaller prizes are awarded for matching fewer numbers.
- Mega Millions: Another multi-state lottery game known for its large jackpots. Drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday. Players choose five white balls (numbers 1-70) and one gold Mega Ball (number 1-25). Similar to Powerball, matching all numbers secures the jackpot, while partial matches award lesser prizes.
- Florida Lotto: A Florida-specific lottery game. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday. Players select six numbers from 1 to 53. Matching all six numbers wins the jackpot. A “Bonus Number” is also drawn, which can increase winnings for certain prize tiers.
- Fantasy 5: This daily game offers better odds of winning compared to Powerball or Mega Millions. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 36. Matching all five wins the top prize.
- Pick 2/3/4/5: Daily games where players select a set of numbers from 0 to 9. The number of digits you choose determines the game type (Pick 2, Pick 3, etc.). Players can choose to play straight (numbers must match in exact order) or box (numbers can match in any order).
- Cash Pop: This is a quick-draw, single-number game with drawings every 15 minutes. Players select one to fifteen numbers between 1 and 15. Each number costs $1 to play. If your number is drawn, you win a prize!
