Could a mere $2 Florida Lotto ticket transform someone into a millionaire? As the lottery world often reminds us, “it could be you.”
The jackpot was reset after a fortunate ticket, purchased at BJ’s Wholesale Club Liquors in Clermont, Florida, successfully matched all six numbers in the Florida Lotto drawing on Wednesday, February 4, winning $21.5 million.
Following no winner for all six numbers in the Florida Lotto drawing on Wednesday, March 25, the jackpot rolled over for the 15th time. This led to a $1 million increase in the grand prize for Saturday, March 28. The winning Florida Lotto numbers for Saturday were 24-34-37-41-43-47, and the Double Play numbers were 21-25-27-28-29-44. We await to see if a major lottery winner emerged or if the prize will grow further.
For reference, the winning numbers from Wednesday’s drawing were 1-6-14-16-19-29, with Double Play numbers being 22-27-30-39-48-51.

The Florida Lottery website details game enhancements such as Double Play, costing $1, which is a supplementary drawing offering a chance to win up to $250,000 using the same numbers (Double Play draws occur right after Florida Lotto draws). Another optional Florida Lotto add-on is EZmatch, also priced at $1 per play. If any EZmatch number corresponds with a player’s Florida Lotto numbers, they win that specific prize instantly.

Florida Lottery Ticket Claim Period: What You Need to Know
Florida Lottery prizes must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the drawing date. For those opting for a single-payment cash option, winners have 60 days from the relevant draw date to make their claim.
Florida Lottery Winner Anonymity: Is Disclosure Required?
Per the Florida Lottery’s official website, winners are unable to stay anonymous: “Florida legislation requires the Florida Lottery to furnish records detailing information like the winner’s name, city of residence, game won, date of win, and prize amount to any requesting third party.”
However, the website clarifies that “the names of lottery winners who claim prizes of $250,000 or more will be temporarily protected from public disclosure for 90 days following the prize claim date, unless the winner explicitly waives this exemption.”
Walmart and Beyond: Where to Purchase Lottery Tickets in Florida
Throughout Florida, lottery tickets are widely available at most gas stations and various grocery stores. In fact, it’s more challenging to locate a gas station that *doesn’t* offer Powerball, Mega Millions, Florida Lottery, and scratch-off tickets than one that does.
Publix is another retailer that sells lottery tickets, and it has a reputation for selling numerous winning tickets. A less commonly known spot is Walmart. The availability of lottery tickets at your nearest Walmart depends on both the state and the specific store. Many Walmart stores in Florida offer self-service lottery ticket vending machines or sell tickets at their customer service counters.
To locate a nearby grocery store or gas station selling lottery tickets, you can utilize the “Where to Play” search tool available on the Florida Lottery website.
