Florida Lottery prizes of $600 or more must be claimed at a Florida Lottery district office or headquarters. Winners of prizes exceeding $250,000 have 60 days from the date of claim to choose between the annuity option or a one-time lump-sum cash payment, which is typically less than the advertised jackpot amount.

The retailer that sold the winning ticket is eligible to receive a bonus commission from the Florida Lottery.

Additional details about the draw date, the selling retailer's name, and whether the ticket has been claimed were not immediately available. Readers seeking confirmed prize and claim details can contact the Florida Lottery directly.
