Sorry, but I stopped playing Florida Lotto and Mega Money many years ago.
Too many games, too much strain on my budget.
Had to stop scratch-off tickets long long time ago.
Anybody Else?
I stopped playing The Florida Lotto, and all other Lottery games because I believe(in theory) that the system is computerized. Meaning that the winning numbers selected by a computer before the so called live drawings take place. From there, the live drawing with the numbered balls are just for show. The system is designed so that they can raise the Jackpot until they feel that only a few tickets match the numbers, which would have to be less than 5 winning tickets that match the state lotteries, Powerball, and Mega Millions. Even the Pick-5 games are computerized as well...
As for the scratch off Lottery Games, I quit playing those games as well because more than 90% of those games are either break even or losers... The Lottery officials have gotten so greedy that they have made their games impossible for anyone else to win as they are obsessed about raising the jackpot to insane levels to get people to gamble their money. No matter how insane the jackpot is, the Florida Lottery isn't the game that it was when it initially started in 1988....

I'm actually surprised people win FL Lotto with great frequency. Poor thing never grows
Most FL Lotto winners use Quickpick. The jackpot does grow. But not by much. I will say that if Powerball and Megamillions were not introduced in FL, the jackpot would be higher. I have checked the past lottery winners for 2014-2015. Those numbers are very small in comparison to the smaller lottery game winners. The people who have won from the Pick-6 FL Lotto were quickpick winners...
