Here’s how to play the Powerball
To play the Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26.
Players can add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
The “Quick Pick” option is also available for players, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket.
To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
Where to buy Powerball tickets in Florida
Powerball tickets can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores.
You cannot purchase tickets online in Florida.
How long do you have to cash in a winning Florida Lottery ticket?
Prizes for the Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes “must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire.”
Can Florida lottery winners remain anonymous?
According to the 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, experts and lottery lawyers have said there are ways for Florida winners to maintain their anonymity.
