ORLAND, Fla. — Florida Lottery sales hit a new record after the $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot, the second largest in Powerball and U.S. lottery history.
From September 1 to September 7, Florida Lottery sales hit $97.25 million for Powerball and $139.18 million for draw games, making it one of the top sales weeks ever.

Florida players won 123 prizes worth $50,000 or more, including five prizes of $1 million each. The excitement surrounding the jackpot also led to historic engagement on the Lottery’s digital platforms.
The record-breaking sales not only gave Florida players chances to win big but also helped fund educational initiatives throughout the state. Florida players bought millions of winning tickets, including 123 prizes over $50,000 and five $1 million wins.
