Claiming prizes from the Florida Lottery varies depending on the amount won. For winnings of $599 or less, players can simply visit any authorized retailer or their local Florida Lottery district office. For prizes ranging from $600 to $1 million, personal claims must be made at a district office, particularly for games that don’t offer annual payouts. In the case of winnings over $1 million or for those with annual payment options, claims must be made at the Florida Lottery headquarters, with the exception of Mega Millions and Powerball, which can be claimed at district offices.
Privacy regulations in Florida require that all lottery winners disclose certain personal information, making it a public record. This transparency ensures that the lottery operates with integrity while maintaining public trust in its operations. Players aiming for the top-tier jackpots must also be aware of the specific drawing times for each game. For instance, Powerball draws occur at 10:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, while Mega Millions are held at 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays.
