To play, ask the store clerk for a ticket or pick up a FLORIDA LOTTO playslip. Each playslip contains 10 panels (A-J). In each panel played:

• Select six numbers from 1 through 53, or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box in the panel and let the terminal randomly pick some or all of your numbers.
• For a chance to win cash instantly, select the EZmatch box in a panel for a $1 more per play. FLORIDA LOTTO tickets with EZmatch cannot be canceled.
• To multiply your winnings on non-jackpot cash prizes, select the XTRA box. XTRA costs $1 more per play. FLORIDA LOTTO with XTRA tickets will display "XTRA YES". Please Note: The XTRA box applies to all panels, Advance Plays and Quick Picks played on the playslip.
• To play the same numbers for more than one draw, simply tell the retailer how many advance draws you wish to play or select the number of draws in the Advance Play section of your playslip.
• Mark the JACKPOT COMBO box for a $2 POWERBALL®, a $2 FLORIDA LOTTO® with XTRA and a $2 MEGA MILLIONS® Quick Pick ticket for the next available draw date.
• Give your completed playslip and payment to the retailer. You will receive a ticket printed with your numbers, draw date(s) and the total cost of the ticket. For each panel with EZmatch selected, you will receive a separate ticket with your FLORIDA LOTTO and EZmatch numbers. Please check your ticket(s) before you leave the store. You are responsible for the accuracy of your ticket(s).
• Check the official drawing results to see if you're a winner! Draw results are available on this website, at authorized Florida Lottery retailers and by calling (850) 921-PLAY (7529). You may also watch the drawings online.

Drawings are held Wednesday and Saturday nights at 11:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Tickets can be purchased until 10:40 p.m., Eastern Time, on the night of the draw. Tickets purchased after 10:40 p.m. will be for the next draw.

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.

Please remember: All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable draw date.

EZmatch

Win Now and Win Later!

With EZmatch™, you can add instant fun to FLORIDA LOTTO! Just choose the EZmatch play option, for an additional $1 per play for a chance to win cash instantly.

When you select EZmatch, six EZmatch numbers and instant prize amounts will print below the FLORIDA LOTTO numbers on your ticket. Match any EZmatch number with any FLORIDA LOTTO number on your ticket, and win the prize amount shown instantly. You can win up to six times on a single FLORIDA LOTTO with EZmatch ticket.

XTRA

XTRA is a special feature that allows players to multiply their non-jackpot cash prizes by two, three, four or five times the original prize amount! A player must choose the XTRA option on his/her FLORIDA LOTTO playslip or tell the retailer that he/she wishes to purchase a FLORIDA LOTTO with XTRA ticket. FLORIDA LOTTO with XTRA tickets cost an additional $1 per play.

FLORIDA LOTTO with XTRA players who match three of six winning numbers will win a minimum of $25, the 3-of-6 prize multiplied by five, regardless of the multiplier selected for that drawing.

How to Win Lotto?

The Florida Lottery will hold official FLORIDA LOTTO® drawings in which six out of 53 numbers will be drawn at random. If your six numbers match the six winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played, you win the FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot. Match three, four or five of the winning numbers to win other cash prizes.

The XTRA multiplier number is selected at random, from 2 through 5, before each drawing. If a FLORIDA LOTTO with XTRA player matches three, four or five winning numbers, he/she wins an amount equal to the original prize amount multiplied by the multiplier that was drawn before the drawing. If the player matches just two winning numbers, he/she wins a free FLORIDA LOTTO ticket for the next available draw.

Players may choose to receive their portion of the FLORIDA LOTTO jackpots in a one-time Cash Option payment or in 30 annual payments. The Cash Option payment is the amount required on the day of the drawing (or if the drawing is held on a Saturday or holiday, the business day prior to the drawing) to fund the applicable jackpot prize paid over 30 years, less applicable taxes. FLORIDA LOTTO jackpot winners who want to receive a single Cash Option payment must claim their prizes within the first 60 days of the 180-day redemption period. Applicable federal income taxes will be withheld from both Cash Option and annual payments at the time payments are made. Read more about claiming Lottery prizes.

With numerous on-line and scratch-off games available, players have a wide variety of prize levels to choose from. Since it began, the Florida Lottery has continued to add variety to its portfolio of games.

The Lottery has experimented with higher price points, enhanced traditional games, and introduced seasonal promotional games. In 2012, Florida was the third-ranked state in yearly lottery revenue with $4.45 billion; revenue passed $5 billion in fiscal year 2013. Florida passed the legislation to enact the lottery in 1986 by a two to one ratio. The new lottery was spearheaded by Governor Bob Martinez and the Florida legislature with the mission of maximizing revenues for the enhancement of public education in Florida.

The lottery was founded on the basis that it would provide the people of Florida the opportunity to benefit from additional revenues while providing the highest quality games available. The lottery's first game, MILLIONAIRE was a $1 scratch-off that was immensely popular. Within 17 days, the scratch-off game had paid back the entire $15.5 million to the state's general fund.

Florida Lottery currently offers 10 terminal-generated games:

• Mega Millions
• Powerball
• Florida Lotto
• Cash4Life
• Fantasy 5
• Jackpot Triple Play
• Pick 5
• Pick 4
• Pick 3
• Pick 2

What is the Minimum Age to Play the Florida Lottery?
You must be at least 18 years of age or older to buy a Florida Lottery ticket.

With the goal of the Florida Lottery being to enhance public education in the state, the lottery has become not only an education partner but a distinguished business enterprise as well. In the 2011-12 fiscal year, the Florida Lottery donated $1.31 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, surpassing the $1 billion mark for the eleventh time in its history and expanding its all-time donation total to over $25 billion.

Additionally, Florida donates funds to help construct new schools and other educational facilities. As of 2012, more than $3.9 billion in lottery-backed bonds have gone to school construction.
