Florida Lottery announces winning $44 million ticket soon expire

The clock is ticking for the lucky individual who holds the winning ticket for the $44 million Florida Lotto jackpot. With just a few weeks remaining, the winner must come forward before the ticket expires, or the massive prize will be lost forever.

On June 14, 2023, a single ticket won the Florida Lotto prize of $44 million. The ticket matched all six numbers, which were 9, 13, 15, 46, 51, and 52. The ticket was purchased at a Sunoco Express located on North Orange Blossom Trail in Kissimmee.

To win the Florida Lotto jackpot, you need to match all six numbers drawn in any order. However, the odds of matching all six numbers are pretty slim, with a probability of 1 in 22,957,480. The Florida Lotto offers a progressive jackpot, which keeps increasing after every draw without a winner.

The deadline to claim the $44 million prize is December 11, 2023, at midnight Eastern Time.
