Lotto fans are starting to take notice of Florida Lottery because of its frequent rollovers and increasing jackpots.
Florida Lotto jackpots can now compete with some of the lottery world’s heavy hitters, frequently placing the state lottery on par with multi-state lotteries such as the Euromillions, MegaMillions and Powerball.
Since this lottery has no jackpot rollover cap the winning prizes can continue to grow endlessly. To play the Florida Lotto players select 6 numbers from a guess range of 1-53. The winning numbers are selected in bi-weekly drawings held on Wednesday and Saturday evening at 4 am GMT in Orlando, Florida .
The year 2011 marks the 25th year since Florida voters cast their ballots in favor of the creation of the Florida Lotto. Since then it has benefited thousands of public works projects, local education as well as other charitable causes while making jackpot history.
A mere two years after it started, the Florida Lotto turned Sheelah Ryan of Winter Springs into the largest single jackpot winner in Florida Lotto's history with a prize of US$55.16 million. The lottery’s top prizes have continued to soar to record heights passing the $100 million mark in 1990 when six lucky winners split a $106.5 million windfall.
In the year 2000, a single ticket holder was awarded an $81 million prize. Florida Lotto's jackpot is currently at the $40 million mark and it could keep growing and growing until someone wins it. Who knows, you could be the next winner!
