The Florida Lottery held several draw games on December 14, 2024, bringing hopeful participants opportunities to become instant millionaires.
On this day, various games were played, including Powerball, Lotto, Cash4Life, and Fantasy 5. For those eagerly checking their tickets, the winning numbers for Powerball were 12-17-23-52-67, with the Powerball number being 01 and the Power Play multiplier set at 2. The Powerball jackpot was reset to $45 million after someone from New York won the previous $260 million prize on December 7.
Drawings for other popular games also took place. The winning Lotto numbers were 04-23-27-28-41-43, giving players the chance at significant cash prizes. Meanwhile, the Cash4Life winning numbers were 25-35-37-45-49, with the Cash Ball at 04.
Noteworthy on this date was the Fantasy 5 game, where one lucky ticket purchased at the Kendall Place shopping mall Publix matched the midday numbers of 1, 21, 28, 30, and 31. That ticket is worth $58,500, which the winner will need to claim at one of the Florida Lottery district offices.
The Fantasy 5 results offer daily hopes as well, with winning numbers for the evening draw being 21-28-29-33-34.
Other smaller lottery games, such as Cash Pop and Pick games, also saw luck distributed among players. Winning Cash Pop numbers included 08 for both the morning and matinee draws, and 06 and 07 for afternoon and late-night draws, respectively. Pick 2, 3, 4, and 5 numbers featured results ranging from 9-0-4-4-8 to 1-4-2-9 for various time slots.
Specifically, for those new to playing the Florida Lottery, tickets can be purchased at authorized retailers throughout the state, including gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery outlets. For more information on available retailers, players can visit the official Florida Lottery website.
If you’re among the fortunate who secured winning tickets, the Florida Lottery has specific guidelines for claiming prizes based on their amounts. For winnings of $599 or less, players can claim their prizes at any authorized Florida Lottery retailer or district office. For prizes ranging from $600 to $1 million, players must visit district offices. Meanwhile, any unclaimed prizes over $1 million must be claimed at the Florida Lottery headquarters.
Florida laws require public disclosure of winners, meaning necessary details including full names, city of residence, the game won, date won, amount won, and the retailer location must be shared. While winners of large amounts have conditions allowing temporary anonymity for up to 90 days, initial public records about their wins remain mandatory.
The excitement doesn't stop here, as players can look forward to the next Powerball drawing scheduled for 11 p.m. EST on Monday, December 16, 2024. Expectations remain high, as the Powerball jackpot is projected to rise to $55 million with increased cash options awaiting hopeful ticket holders.
With premier draws coming up and players gearing up to try their luck again, the Florida Lottery continues to enthrall many with both daily and major draws. Whether it’s the thrill of winning large or the community fun of participating, lottery games keep eyes on the numbers and dreams on the prize.
