Florida Lotto
Lottery Overview & Statistics
Florida Lotto is operated by the Florida Lottery, an agency of the state of Florida, and uses a 6/53 matrix, one of the larger number pools among US state lottery games, giving a jackpot probability of 1 in 22,957,480. The game has been running since 1988.
Florida Lotto offers a jackpot structure with a minimum starting prize of $1 million USD. When the jackpot is won, it resets to the minimum. Revenue from the Florida Lottery is directed to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, funding public education in Florida.
Unlike federal multi-state games (Powerball, Mega Millions), Florida Lotto is a state-exclusive draw, meaning the prize pool and player base are limited to Florida, which produces more frequent jackpot cycles relative to the prize size.
Game Format & Rules
Players select 6 numbers from a pool of 53 (1-53). No bonus or supplementary number is used in the standard draw. A Division 1 win requires matching all 6 drawn numbers. The game offers four prize divisions.
Division 1: 6/6, jackpot (pari-mutuel), odds 1:22,957,480. Division 2: 5/6, fixed prize, odds 1:81,410. Division 3: 4/6, fixed prize, odds 1:1,416. Division 4: 3/6, fixed prize, odds 1:71.
Players may select a "FIREBALL" add-on for an additional fee, which introduces a seventh "Fireball" number drawn separately. This number can be used to replace one of the six drawn numbers in a player's entry, effectively providing a second matching attempt. Multi-draw options are available.
Prize Structure & Odds Analysis
Florida Lotto prize structure: Division 1 (6/6): pari-mutuel jackpot, minimum $1M USD, odds 1:22,957,480. Division 2 (5/6): fixed prize of $1,500, odds 1:81,410. Division 3 (4/6): fixed prize of $50, odds 1:1,416. Division 4 (3/6): fixed prize of $5, odds 1:71.
FIREBALL add-on prizes are calculated separately using the Fireball number to substitute for one position in the drawn numbers. This can create additional matches not present in the standard draw, with prizes scaled at approximately 50% of the base prize for FIREBALL-assisted wins.
Overall odds of winning any prize in a standard Florida Lotto entry are approximately 1 in 69. Florida state income tax does not apply to lottery prizes, though federal income tax does for US residents.
Draw Schedule & Deadlines
Florida Lotto draws are conducted every Wednesday and Saturday at approximately 23:15 ET (Eastern Time). This is later than many state lotteries, giving players more time to purchase on draw nights.
