For anyone still chasing 50x:
I went back and looked at some things with this and here is my conclusion:
On an archived view of FL lotto's remaining prizes page, there were 4 of 18 prizes left on March 17th 2015 (before the reorder). The next snapshot is from March 24th and shows 12 of 24 (reorder had 8 new grand prizes). On March 25th it drops down to 11 of 24 (this was prize #13 on the PDF).
Krissam got the list of the previous 9 winners. The first run had 368k books and the second had 184k. Books go at least as high as 622k. Even if they used every book # from 622k, 184k books would put the first run going as high as 438,000. This is unlikely as someone has stated before they don't use every book number.
Krissam got 9 numbers from lotto, which accounts for wins 13-21. #13 being the 0051812 above, the first run. So the first run had 3 prizes remaining for sure and the other 8 were from the second run.
Based on the book #s, at least 7 of the 9 winners were from the new order and likely, in my opinion, 8 of the 9 though this last part is an assumption that it's off the new set.
So my belief is that if there are any winners out there still, they're on the first run of the game which at the very least goes to book #368,000 though likely up into the lower 400s.
By all means, if I messed up math anywhere please let me know. Only one assumption is used above I believe, which is the 428844 (win #14) being from the second run.
