Will a $2 ticket make you a millionaire?
As they say in the lottery business, “it could happen to you.”
After one lucky ticket from a Circle K convenience store matched all six numbers in the Saturday, Nov. 15, Florida Lotto drawing for $3.75 million, the jackpot reset to $1 million for Wednesday, Nov. 19.
Another pair of rollovers led to more money: $2 million for Wednesday, Nov. 26, after no one matched all six numbers in the Saturday, Nov. 22, Florida Lotto drawing.
It’s not the only lottery prize that’s rising: Powerball for Wednesday, Nov. 26, was up to $681 million.
But back to Florida Lotto. The odds for that Florida Lottery game are slightly better than the mega jackpot games of Powerball and Mega Millions.
Still, if you’re feeling lucky … Wednesday, Nov. 26, or Black Wednesday or “Thanksgiving Eve” winning Florida Lotto numbers were 17-24-29-30-41-51. Double Play numbers were 10-12-24-36-39-46. We’ll see if there’s a winner ahead of the 2025 Thanksgiving holiday or another rollover this holiday season.
In case you’re wondering, Saturday, Nov. 22, winning Florida Lotto numbers were 2-17-24-29-34-40. Double Play numbers were 17-19-23-30-35-38.
Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida, and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.

According to Florida Lottery’s website, winners cannot remain anonymous: “Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner’s name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information.”
However, the site states, the “names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner.”
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.
