One week earlier, on July 1, a separate quick-pick ticket matched all numbers in a different drawing that led to the $6.75 million prize. That ticket was also purchased at a Publix location and later claimed.

  • Florida Lotto drawings: Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:15 p.m. ET.
  • Ticket price: typically $2 per play.
  • Prize claims: substantial prizes must be claimed at Florida Lottery offices; winners can choose lump-sum cash where applicable.

Players who bought tickets in recent drawings should check numbers posted by the Florida Lottery and review claiming deadlines. The lottery posts prize-claiming procedures, including options and office locations, on its official site.

As the jackpot resets or grows depending on rollovers, officials encourage players to verify tickets and follow the state’s claiming guidance. For Floridians, large wins continue to appear statewide, underscoring that a routine grocery trip can result in sizable prizes.
