Florida Lotto is the core draw game of the Florida Lottery, operating since 1988. Players choose 6 numbers from 1 to 53. There are 5 prize tiers — from the jackpot for matching all 6, down to a free play for matching 2. Draws are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 11:15 PM Eastern Time. Tickets cost $2 and include an automatic Multiplier (2×–10×) on non-jackpot prizes. An optional Double Play add-on ($1 extra) enters your numbers in a second draw with a guaranteed $250,000 jackpot.
