The winner is so lucky to win the jackpot prize alone. If I will win $59 million I will buy a house, start a business and definitely I will not forget my community. I will make sure that I will be able to give back to my community as well. I need to work on my strategies to further enhance my chance of winning.

You're lucky you didn't match 3, it pays $2 which you might not had wanted to spend the effort to collect.

You'll get a W-G at the end of the year to file with your tax returns.

Well, it wasn't me

That's okay. I got my QP for the next draw. $2mil would be great too.

The Lotto jackpot would grow faster if FL would dump MUSL (PB + MM). Support your local lottery and keep the money in the state. Boycott MUSL

It certainly does. Especially since I got the full amount. I thought they were going to withhold 25% for taxes. Boy, was I surprised

From what I have read, it seems like this jackpot hasn't been hit in over a year. I was in Ohio a few weeks ago and even played a few tickets....never checked the tickets until I got back to Florida. It didn't even matter since I didn't match a single number.

It would be nice if someone from LP won it. Good luck to you and the other LP members from Ohio.

You don't have to win the lottery jackpot to BEA winner. Post a thread for winners any time you want and the winners will join you. If you are playing the lottery you are a winner. Winners play the lottery.

Not everyone feel that way. Back in February I came close to winning my state lottery when I matched 5of6 which I had posted on the prediction board. After commenting about it a couple of times several LP members told me they were tired of reading my posts about my win even though they had to do a search to find them.

The 7-11 is not too far from where I live. I always drive past it when I take my children to Disney as it is the main access route for people who live in Windermere. Unfortunately, the two tickets I purchased (from Publix) failed to match a single number....oh well

The winning numbers drawn were 11,24,36,45,46,47. I doubt seriously that anyone who plays typically with birhdates and anniversary dates hit it. It was either a person who had a system to work the numbers or a QP. This is the kicker, the prior drawing numbers on Aug 21st were 3-6-36-46-48-52. The 36 and the 46 were repeats! On top of that 48 was an adjacent to the priorly drawn 47! Also both drawings had a 2 Low to 4 High Ratio.

The lottery offices here in Florida are closed on Saturday and Sunday..it must be nice to live in a state that keep their offices open 7 days a week.Maybe that's why it says the winner hasn't come forward yet.Im guessing the writer lives in a state where it the lottery office stays open 7 days a week. I wouldnt shout to the world I won prematurely(before I was actually able to cash in my ticket). I think that would be kind of dangerous to start telling people you won

Nice......I passed near there on my way back from Bush Gardens to my friends who lives in Port Orange a week in a half ago. Also bought a ticket at a 7 Eleven near there. And I bought a ticket in Hollywood FL on my way 2 from Miami.

Jacks, Port Orange no luck anywhere. LOL

LottoNick56 — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:10:10 GMT

This 7-11 is located right up the street from Downtown Disney and near many of the Disney area hotels. It is very possible that the winner of this $59 million jackpot is either an out-of-state tourist or even one of the estimated 66,000 people employed by Disney World. I've been chasing this jackpot since it was at $12 million on its slow crawl ($1m or $2m increases every drawing) to $59 million. Didn't even win any small prize the entire time. Whata Shame!

$59M Florida Lotto jackpot won by ticket sold in Orlando

Lottery Post — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:05:53 GMT

Lottery officials said a winning Florida Lotto ticket worth $59 million was sold at a 7-Eleven in Orlando.

One lucky person won the jackpot in Saturday night's Florida Lotto drawing, where the winning numbers were 11, 24, 36, 45, 46 and 47.

Officials said the ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store at the intersection of S. Apopka Vineland Road and Winter Garden Vineland Road.

The winning ticket is worth $59 million, or a lesser amount for a one-time cash payout. The winner has not yet come... [ More ]
