Florida Lottery History

The Florida Lottery was established in 1986 following a constitutional amendment approved by voters. Ticket sales began in 1988 with the launch of the instant game "Millionaire", which quickly gained popularity and set the stage for future success. Over the years, the Lottery has expanded its offerings to include a variety of scratch-off games, multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions, and unique in-state draws such as Fantasy 5 and Lotto. The Florida Lottery has generated billions of dollars in revenue, contributing significantly to the state's education system. Today, it remains a vital source of funding for schools and scholarships, while continuing to provide exciting opportunities for players to win big.

Florida offers a variety of exciting lottery games that attract many players across the state. Here are some of the most popular options:


Powerball

Powerball sales started in Florida in 2009, and the state swiftly became the most populous member of the Multi-State Lottery Association. In this game, players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and a Powerball from 1 to 26. Each play costs $2, with an optional "Power Play" feature for an additional $1 that can multiply non-jackpot prizes.

Florida Lotto

Florida Lotto is an in-state jackpot game held on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Players select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 53. The jackpot starts at $1,000,000, and each ticket costs $2.

Like Powerball, Mega Millions offers enormous jackpots and is played in multiple states, including Florida, which began selling Mega Millions tickets in May 2013.

Players select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.
