Lotto Florida
Florida Lotto is a popular state lottery owned and operated by Florida Lottery.
Lotto tickets cost $1, with draws taking place twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 23:15 Eastern Time. Tickets are sold until 22:40 on the day of the draw, with purchases after this time entered into the next draw.
To play Lotto, select six numbers between 1 and 53,or go for Quick Pick to play with six randomly generated numbers.
XTRA is added to the ticket for an additional $1, which only multiplies non-jackpot cash winnings, plus the chance of winning free entry into the next Lotto draw by matching two numbers.
Lotto players can win instant cash prizes by adding EZmatch to a ticket slip for an extra $1. If any of the randomly generated numbers match, players instantly win the prize next to the number!
