Powerball Soars to $835 Million as Florida Trio Celebrates Million-Dollar Wins
The Florida Lottery’s Powerball saga continues as three lucky Floridians are now the proud owners of a cool million bucks each! So, what’s the secret to their success? Well, it’s all in the numbers, my friends.
According to WFLA, the magic numbers in question were 10, 12, 22, 36, 50, and the red ball was 4. It’s like someone grabbed a handful of ping pong balls, scribbled on them, and let fate work its quirky charm. Actually.. That’s kinda how it actually works. And just to spice things up, they even threw in a Powerplay of 2X, because why settle for one million when you can have two?
Now, let’s talk about location, location, location. Two of these golden tickets were scooped up in the picturesque paradise of Kissimmee. One of them came from the Publix at 3343 South Orange Blossom Trail. The other? Well, it was chilling out at the Walmart Fuel Station on 2845 North Old Lake Wilson Road. Who knew that picking up groceries or filling up your tank could lead to a million-dollar surprise?
The third ticket, also worth a smooth million, was hiding out at the Circle K on 31734 East State Road 44 in Eustis. And just like that, stopping in for a snack and a soda could turned into a life-altering moment!
Powerball Soars:
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no one nabbed that whopping $794 million jackpot. But don’t despair because, in Powerball land, every missed opportunity is just another step on the ladder to even crazier riches. The jackpot is now taking a stroll up to an estimated $835 million.
Yup, you read that right. $835 million! So, grab your lucky socks, cross your fingers, and get ready for the next drawing. Who knows? Maybe the Powerball gods will shine upon you, and you’ll be the next wise guy or gal laughing all the way to the bank. The next drawing is just around the corner, so set your alarms for Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. ET.

When you buy a lottery ticket, you want to win big and these 6 Florida lottery scratch-offs have all of the top prizes available.
I always enjoy a good scratch-off. When standing in line at my Publix in Fort Myers, I’m often drawn to the bright lights of the scratcher vending machine. I’ve never won big, but the thrill is always there. From putting the money in the machine, to selecting the ticket, to getting it home and getting to scratching. I think the biggest prize I’ve won is maybe $25, but as they saying goes “you can’t win, if you don’t play!”
These 6 Florida Lottery Scratch-Offs Have All Of The Top Prizes Available
When it comes to keeping tabs on payouts and what prizes are still available, the Florida Lottery keeps meticulous records. Maybe you choose a ticket based on how much fun it is to scratch. Like me, I like the crossword tickets the best. Not only do I like doing crossword puzzles in general, but I like that they take some time to scratch. I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth, even if I don’t win. But maybe you just pick a ticket that feels lucky to you. But if you KNEW your chances to win were better, that would help with your selection right? I scoured the Florida lottery website and did the research to find out which tickets have all of their top prizes still available. This way you won’t waste your money on a ticket you can’t hit the jackpot on. I’ll have to go buy a ticket or two myself! Good luck!
