The Florida Lottery is the government-operated lottery of the U.S. state of Florida. As of 2022[update], the lottery offers eleven terminal-generated games: Cash4Life, Mega Millions, Powerball, Florida Lotto, Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Fantasy 5, Cash Pop, and Jackpot Triple Play. A player must be 18 or older to play.
The initiative to establish a lottery in the state was led by Governor Bob Martinez and the Florida legislature, with the goal of providing revenue for public education in Florida. Sales of the lottery's first game, the $1 scratch-off Millionaire, began in 1988.[1]
In 2012, Florida was the third-ranked state in yearly lottery revenue with $4.45 billion;[2] revenue passed $5 billion in fiscal year 2013.[3]
