Florida Lotto players choose six numbers between 1 and 53, facing odds of 1 in 22,957,480 to win the grand prize. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday.
After no winner in the November 1 drawing for $1.25 million, the jackpot climbed to nearly $2 million for Wednesday, November 5 — just one day after Election Day across the U.S., including local contests in Florida.
"It could happen to you," as the saying goes in the lottery business.
Whether a new millionaire emerges remains to be seen, or the prize could roll over again.
That drawing happened the day after Halloween and just hours before daylight saving time ended on November 2, 2025, when clocks shifted back at 2 a.m.
According to the Florida Lottery, drawings occur at 11:15 p.m. ET every Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. Players have a limited time to claim their prizes, and unclaimed winnings revert to the state’s education fund.
