  I just combo'd 6868 for 50 cents and have a few questions.

  Has anyone claimed from a florida retailer before?

  What do I need? S.S. card, ID.?

  Do the cut a check that day? 

  Do they check on old hospital bills not paid?

  any help will be great.

  General questions about claiming prizes can be answered by Florida Lottery district offices, the Player Information Line at (850) 487-7787, or via e-mail at Asklott@flalottery.com. We recommend that players contact the Florida Lottery office in their area to confirm the hours of operation for same-day payment and to confirm the necessary documentation for their claim to be processed.

  I beleive a prize over $600 on one ticket, yours being one ticket, can be claimed at a local district office.  I would call the number listed.

  CONGRATULATIONS on your win!!!

  Thanks everyone! I was mad because I played 235 and 635 came out on the cash3 and then I scrolled down to see the play4 number and it took a second to register.

                                                                                           thanks again!

  I have an old un-paid hospital bill that I am a little concerned about it being a state agency debt or not. I may have to have a good friend redeem my ticket for me, I don't know yet?

  When they make it a legit bill, not $12.00 for an aspirin, I will gladly pay it. Please don't reply that they wouldn't be $12.00 if ppl like me would pay thier bills.

  Someone has to Pay that Bill: If Not You: Who?

  Don't bet the farm on this answer, but I know when I hit for $2,500 and I'm from Maryland, the only thing they were concerned about is whether I owed IRS and whether I had any child support outstanding.  Luckily for me I owed neither, nor.  Hope you get back the whold $2,500.
