- How it works
- Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 53. Match 2 to 6 of the 6 numbers drawn to win. Every ticket comes with a multiplier of 2X to 10X for the prizes for 3, 4 or 5 matches.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot rolls over until someone matches all 6 numbers, and winners share it equally. A winner can take cash by claiming within 60 days of the drawing, or 30 yearly payments. A share worth less than $1 million over 30 years is paid in cash.
- Multiplier
- The terminal picks one multiplier per ticket when you buy it, and it applies to every play on the ticket, in both the main and Double Play drawings. It doesn't multiply the jackpot, Double Play's top prize or a free ticket. Play It Again reprints a ticket's numbers with a new multiplier.
- Double Play
- Double Play is a separate drawing right after each Florida Lotto drawing, using your numbers and multiplier. It covers every play on the ticket, and one ticket can win in both drawings. Its prizes are paid from Double Play sales.
- EZ Match
- EZmatch works like a scratch-off: the terminal decides at purchase whether your ticket wins, so you can claim an EZmatch prize before the drawing. You can win up to six times on one ticket. An Advance Play ticket gets one set of EZmatch numbers, not one per drawing.
